ASPEN, Colo.—Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain attended an economic forum in Aspen where he chastised Congress for going on recess “while people are paying $3.75 a gallon for gas.”
The audience of 800 began hooting and laughing and yelled that in Aspen they’re paying nearly $5 a gallon. McCain recovered with a well-received crack about plans to “soak the rich.”
The Arizona senator made the comments at the Aspen Institute after a noon fund-raiser.
McCain has no scheduled public events tomorrow but is expected to meet with top aides.
Campaign sources say McCain is likely to spend a few days next week huddled with advisers, possibly working on his vice presidential decision.
