Obama Ad Hits McCain On Energy

Obama has released an ad hitting McCain on energy policy, correctly branding him as part of the problem, not the solution:



I think he could hit him a lot harder on the offshore drilling, and he should, because people need to know that not only will we not get a drop of oil for 7 years, we won't hit peak production for about two decades from now, and even at peak production, the price of oil would decrease less than $2 a barrel, which isn't enough to change the price of gasoline, especially given that just a few weeks ago the price of oil jumped $16.50 in 48 hours, and McCain is trying to make Americans think dropping the cost by a dollar or so over a couple decades is a solution. He is playing them for fools, and the Democrats need to work harder to highlight that.
