What Obama's Message On The Gas Tax Should Be: "HRC is in the Tank For Big Oil."

This ad is _ok_:


However, Obama could be getting a lot more mileage out of the gas tax if he used it to destroy Clinton's image as a middle class fighter. How should he do that? By painting Clinton as someone who is in the tank for big oil companies. His message to voters should be:

"You're the ones hurting at the pump. What's Senator Clinton's solution? She and John McCain want to cut taxes for big oil companies, and then trust them to pass the savings onto you. Well, I don't trust the oil companies to do anything other than make windfall profits."

That is the type of message that could make Obama's opposition to cutting the gas tax the type of weapon that John Chait thinks it is.
