McCain Supports Ban of Domestic Oil Exports!

At least that's what I'm assuming the campaign is really saying when he talks about drilling domestically to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

He is clearly advocating that any and ALL oil that comes from domestic drilling is going to be used by American consumers.

If this were the language being used in discussing domestic drilling, McCain would have a lot less support.  Obama (and dems in general) need to get better at framing the language of the argument.

The US is exporting more oil than ever.

And who's the biggest consumer of oil in the world? Our own Department of Defense. We'll never kick our addiction to oil if we don't end our addiction to war.
