This, while from the Huffington Post, is pretty much right in coming down hard on this gas holiday business that Mccain and Clinton are shilling. It's a joke. Worst of all, a Congressional Committee Report has already said as much, stating that the tax holiday will save the average household $30 this summer. Is $30 worth letting politicians off the hook for doing something to fix the energy crisis? The Post piece just does a very good job of polling people who are studying this solution, and who think it's pretty much junk, from across the political spectrum, junk.
I appreciate the Obama campaign's character here. They're not getting on the bandwagon, even when it risk losing them the blue-collar-trucker-vote-that-a-black-man-in-America-can't-win-anyway demographic.
