McCain is for drilling offshore so my take would be that the President would not want to deliberately go against the Republican nominee so close to the election.
He is leading by jumping in front of the parade, but at least he is leading.
But won't burning all that fossil fuel cause more CO2? I thought McCain believed in Global Warming, and we needed a Cap and Trade (read: massive tax increase) to address it.
Which is John in favor of: More or less CO2?
Or is Comrade Juan McNuts just intellectually incoherent?
