MIAMI (Reuters) - Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Friday that politicians who suggest that lifting a ban on offshore oil drilling would ease rising fuel prices in the United States were "blowing smoke."
The comments were seen by the U.S. media as a slap at Republican leaders including President George W. Bush and the party's presumptive presidential nominee John McCain, who have recently spoken in favor of more offshore drilling as America tries to wean itself from its dependence on foreign oil.
A spokesman for the governor, however, said the comments were not directed at McCain, nor at Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who has backed McCain's stance on offshore drilling.
Rising oil prices and record-high $4-a-gallon gasoline and their impact on the faltering U.S. economy have put energy concerns squarely at the center of the contest between McCain and Democrat Barack Obama in November.
Speaking at a climate change gathering of politicians and business leaders hosted by fellow Republican Crist, Schwarzenegger said politicians have been "throwing around all kinds of ideas in response to the skyrocketing energy crisis, from rethinking nuclear power to pushing biofuels and more renewables and ending the ban on offshore drilling."
"Anyone who tells you that this will bring down our gas prices immediately or any time soon is blowing smoke," he said. "America is so addicted to oil it will take us years to wean ourselves from it and to look for new ways to feed our addiction is not the answer."

ENERGY PLAN
McCain has embraced offshore drilling in recent days and proposed a plan to build 45 new nuclear power plants by 2030. Obama has criticized McCain's drilling stance, and instead has advocated a plan to slap new taxes on oil company profits.

So then by the same logic, driving to work would not be an answer either.
i think all the steroids he took in his younger days are beginning to affect his sanity. another one without a clue. lets do nothing. wait another 10 15 20 years and lets see where we are then.
Spoken by a man that daily flies in a Gulfstream IV.
Actually that statement is the NO answer.
Someone should tell these warmist cult members that biofuels produce CO2 too. So promoting biofuels won’t solve the nonexistent problem of global warming either.
Yeah....increasing the supply of something everyone needs is never the answer.
It runs on the RINO/Democrats' alternative fuel called HYPROCISY!
Steal Swartz off in the middle of the night and let him wake up in Austria with his US citizenship revoked .
This clown has become such a disappointment. I never expected him to be the most conservative governor, but I also never expected him to just repeat the mindless babble that represents liberal argument.

He’s also the guy that proudly drove around in the first non-military Hummer.
Listen to me now, hear me later
There ya go! Good plan!
Obviously the Governator is “addicted to oil” since he uses about 1000 times as much of it as the ordinary citizen.
How about we ban all libtards and RINOs from using any more than a stone age level of energy and then there will be plenty for the rest of us for quite some time to come. They want to continue to ban virtually all new sources of oil, let THEM live without it!!
Exactly! Just suck on a rock. The hunger will go away.
