Still wondering about the McCain ad that basically says that the oil prices are Obama's fault. Not sure how that works out. I have liked McCain's other ads so far and I think they have probably been quite effective. This one, however, makes no rational sense at all. Help me try to understand if you care or desire.

First, I must disclose, I am not a fan of John McCain. Having said that, I think he is running a terrible campaign and this ad may be the best example of just plain old political pandering, bending the truth and playing on people's ignorance.
There has been an off-short drilling ban (both Presidential and Congressional) for years. It's not Barack Obama's fault. He didn't put the ban on off-shore drilling nor has he single-handedly blocked it from being lifted. John McCain himself was for the ban until recently. The ad mentions $4 gas…$5 gas… no end in sight.. (or something like that). Guess I missed the $5 gas.
I'm very disappointed that John McCain approved this deceptive ad. While I might disagree with his politics, I thought him to be a man of integrity. This ad is just wrong.
