McCain Calls on Congress to Pass Energy Bill

HeadlineAug 05, 2008

Meanwhile, Senator John McCain continues to slam Obama’s energy policies. The McCain campaign has begun distributing tire gauges to mock Obama’s call for drivers to save gas by keeping their tires inflated. McCain also called for Congress to come back into session to pass an energy bill.

Sen. John McCain: “I call on Senator Obama to call on Congress to come back into town and come back to work, come off their recess, come off their vacation, and address this energy challenge to America and don’t leave until we do, Republican and Democrat joining together. And a very vital part of that is nuclear power, and another vital part of that is offshore drilling. We have to drill here and drill now.”
