If You Say You'll Drill for It, They Will Come
Politics / Humor - John McCain says President Bush’s lifting of a ban on offshore drilling is the reason the price of oil has recently dropped $10-a-barrel. The psychology of lifting the ban, McCain argues, has affected world markets.
Is that how it works? You get elected president; practically every decision you make in eight years is wrong; in the twilight of your stay in office, you issue an order that will not increase oil production by one drop; and the impact of your action sends shivers down OPEC’s spine? That may be difficult when you lack White House cred with even the guy who fixes the Oval Office copy machine.
