3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”

I just skimmed this before this leapt out at me. What he actually said was: We should be creating jobs. John McCain has voted 20 times against funding alternative energy sources and thinks, I guess, the only answer is drill, drill, drill. Drill we must, but it will take 10 years for one drop of oil to come out of any of the wells that are going to begun to be drilled.

He was pointing to THEM saying drill drill drill,drill we must...

I got the actual quote from the debate transcript but yes, I watched the debate, and immediately saw the out of context error there. Too bad more Americans don't pay attention.
