There is only one entity here "in charge" of oil drilling (and spreading lies and misinformation), and it is not Obama.

I can tell you that McCain is not a leader. He graduated 895 out of 899 in the USNA class of 1958. McCain wasn't smart enought to stay out of trouble either as a midshipmen or as an Ensign or a Lt. The only thing that kept him out of the brig and in the Navy was his 4-start admiral father. My father and McCain were in the 8th company at the USNA and they both graduated in 1958. There are still stories that I haven't heard all of the details about McCain and his antics as a midshipmen and junior naval officer. |
