...some in Washington are still saying no to drilling in America. No to independence from foreign oil. Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?
ANNOUNCER: Gas prices - $4, $5, no end in sight, because some in Washington are still saying no to drilling in America. No to independence from foreign oil.
Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?
CHANT: Obama, Obama
ANNOUNCER: One man knows we must now drill more in America and rescue our family budgets.
Don't hope for more energy, vote for it. McCain.
MCCAIN: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.

The non-partisan FactCheck.org has a great analysis that explains how dishonest this ad is. A few highlights:
--The Energy Information Administration says that if we started to drill more in the US, it would take 20 years for it to seriously affect oil prices.
--The ad says Obama is to blame, but McCain has said several times that the oil problem is "30 years in the making" and the fault of politicians in DC. McCain has been a senator for 21 years, Obama for 3.
