McCain ad blames Obama for rising gas prices

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is launching a new television ad that blames Democratic rival Barack Obama for rising gasoline prices.

The ad, airing on national cable and in 11 battleground states, argues that the cost of fuel is rising because of opposition to oil drilling in the United States.

The announcer in the ad says, "Gas prices — $4, $5, no end in sight, because some in Washington are still saying no to drilling in America. No to independence from foreign oil. Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?"

A photograph of Obama appears on the stage as a voiceover of a crowd chants: "Obama, Obama, Obama!"

OK, once again, I literally laughed out loud!
Obama is not even in office and he is to blame for bush's failures and the rising gas prices under bush's reign!
Incredible!
Of course, no one says that the drilling would do nothing to ease gas prices and would - at most - give us a few months' worth of oil in 5 to 10 years.
So, the premise is absurd in every way and yet no one in the media (that a previous article says is biased towards Obama!) mentions any of the factual inaccuracies.
Is it possible that any human being could be stupid enough to believe this idiocy? Once again, the repugs insult our intelligence.
