McCain changes position on offshore drilling and receives oil exec funds

McCain’s shift on off shore drilling should come as no surprise to voters. For McCain the math is simple: folks want lower gas prices and McCain wants the financial support of the oil industry. All he had to do was alter his position and use, as an excuse the implication that drilling would fix higher gas prices. His shift would then open the floodgates to the oil industry’s vast capital reserves. President Bush and presumably Vice President Cheney are speaking with their major donors, which include old friends from the industry, to drum up support for McCain. Additionally he must have made cretin assurances to them considering the amount of money he is starting to get from them. With each passing day McCain, looks less like a maverick and more like a politician created in the Bush-Chaney image.
