Bu$h to urge lifting of offshore drilling ban.


Thinkprogress:
Monday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) offered “a bit of a capitulation to the oil companies” by announcing that, if elected president, he would end the federal ban on offshore oil drilling. Reuters reports that tomorrow, President Bush plans to give a boost to his presidential pick by making an “announcement” about energy and also calling “on Congress to pass legislation lifting a ban on offshore oil drilling.”
Like McCain, Bush supported the offshore drilling ban when he ran for president in 2000.
