Obama started manipulating oil prices when he was 17 years old!
McCain says in his new attack ad that oil prices are Obama's fault. Yet he is on record previously as stating that the rise in oil prices has been thirty years in the making. Do the math. 30 years ago Obama was 17 years old, so he must have started effecting oil prices while he was still in high school! WOW! Imagine that. A high school student launching a scheme to push up oil prices. It boggles the mind.

4. Obama has lived very full life
He was planning his run for President in the Kindergarten; at 8 he was plotting with the Ayers on where to place bombs and now at 17 he was on his laptop manipulating the stock exchange.

Wow, what a guy.

8. No, no. Actually it was me.
I started when I was 7.

10. Can't he just chalk it up to "youthful indiscretion?"
He has another 23 years of such mischief and tomfoolery!

14. Unfortunately, this sort of demogoguery is persuasive to a lot of Americans
Who want to believe in easy fixings- and think it's their god given right to be profoundly wasteful with cheap gas.

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?"

Crowd chanting: "Obama, 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."

17. Except that he's still got to debate Obama..
and he's going to get absolutely destroyed over this issue. This is one road he absolutely did NOT want to go down. Even the feeble minded sheep who may have bought the ad will have their doubts after that.
