Bush first proposed drilling at the beginning of his first term and the situation now vindicates him, does it not?! The fact is that WE are responsible for high gas prices because we keep electing people who are opposed to it.

No, it is a lie. Please see the above cited report from W's Energy Dept.

They took his words out of context and turned them into hyperbole. It is disingenuous at best and IMO lying. But, you hate Obama - therefore you approve the ads. Again, if Obama ran the ad I mentioned, would you not be outraged. Yet, that ad is actually truer than the ads McCain posted in that McCain actually had skin cancer, is still monitored for it as malignant melanoma is deadliest form of skin cancer, and his has come back at least once.
In the end, I think both ads would be despicable, though the underlying issues are worthy of better discussion. How come I can admit that, but you are loathe to?
