So it's John McCain's fault? I'm not sure why he's wrapped up in this piece other than to take pot shots. Considering Obama's recent change of heart with respect to offshore drilling, I'd say it's a moot point in deciding between the two now. That's politics during a campaign for you.

There's no "fault" to be assigned, in my view. It's not about comparing the latest "positions" of the candidates.

The observation is that for basically his entire political career, McCain made it a point of pride that he was willing to tell the truth, even if it threatened his electability. Fortunately for him it never seemed to present a real threat. Lately, maybe a little? So he has opted more for truthiness than for cold hard truth.

The feeling is more like disappointment, even despair, though at the same time I can't say it's surprising considering the state of his campaign.
