HOUSTON — Republican John McCain called for a clean break from Bush administration energy policies Tuesday, then promptly pivoted to accuse campaign rival Barack Obama of supporting recycled measures that failed in the past.
“Tax relief just isn’t change he can believe in,” said the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, mocking his opponent’s campaign slogan.
In a speech in Texas, McCain said the U.S. needs more oil than during the Arab oil embargo of the 1970s yet produces less. Now, he warned, a single successful terrorist attack at an oil installation could plunge the country into an “economic crisis of monumental proportions.”
