While McCain is running the streets these days trying to prove how green he is (and how big oil he’s not), he made this statement at the yearly motorcycle rally held in Sturgis, North Dakota

“Tell them to get back to work! Tell them to get to work! When I’m president of the United States I’m not going to let them go on vacation. … We’re not going to pay $4 a gallon for gas because we’re going to drill offshore, and we’re going to drill now. We’re going to drill here. We’re going to drill now.”

Yes, we’re going to get away from oil, by drilling for more oil.

Awesome.  Though I do agree, the folks he’s telling to get back to work- Congress, who without passing anything involving energy reform once the Reps blocked the Dems proposal to tap into the reserve that U.S. has in store for just such occations as this (which was touched upon a week or so ago here) went on vacation.

So Congress, get back to work.  McCain, I think there’s a 12 step program somewhere for your obvious oil addiction.  Remember, first step is admitting you have a problem.
