All Barack, no bite on gas prices
At two Kentucky press conferences today, surrogates for Senator Barack Obama will explain why eliminating federal gas taxes this summer would do little to benefit Kentucky consumers. As has been done elsewhere, the Obama campaign seeks to link Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator John McCain over their support of the tax hiatus.
The press release states the campaign "will unveil the devastating local cost the 'gas tax holiday' would have on Kentucky – from job loss to cutbacks in federal highway funding, and highlight why this is exactly the type of short-sighted political game playing Senator Obama will seek to end as President."
Obama would be more convincing in his criticism of this "game playing" if he countered with a plan of his own.
