One got to be proud of supporting HRC, after watching her interview with O'Reilley. On the other hand, Obama hides away, dishing a good debate for the voter of Indiana and NC. What is he afraid of? I guess if you have no substance, you'd better hide. Now, BO is even more afraid of debating, or taking even modestly direct questions.

BO simply does not get it when it comes to "poor, bitter" voters who struggle with economic pressure. It is not just the gasoline taxes that you save, bonehead. It will help to reduce the costs of shipping food, groceries, clothing to your supermarkets and department stores. It save you flying, transportation, and it helps to build consumer confidence to turn the economy around.

When was the last the rich, "educated" elitist get it when small tax cuts can bring about large economic changes.

Talking about change, does BO really get it?

What is the harm if the consumers get a short term benefit. It is better than not getting anything. HRC has maintained that the long term policy would be dealt with separately but what was important was to give some break to the ordinary citizens for whom even $25-30 has a meaning. Obama's opoosition only solidifies his image as an elitist.

The gas tax pandering thing is just silly, and I have to think even Clinton and McCain supporters know this. Can you guys point to one person not associated with a campaign who thinks its a good idea?

Anyway, we also know its nothing but campaign hot air - talk - as opposed to action.

And we know this because both are calling for it this summer, when the office they are seeking won't be unoccupied until next January. And both are sitting senators, with staffs still staffing their Washington offices.

Has either office worked up a bill for this summer? No. Just campaign pandering talk.

Thank God Barack has some common sense. Taking the tax away accomplishes nothing. Gas prices are still high. taking the tax away will increase demand and therefore up the cost even more. Plus, that tax goes to repair highways. Clinton and Mccain are praying on the dumb people who do not know any better.

Obama's "press conferences" are always one way street. When was the last time that he allowed real, tough questions asked by someone who is either not an open or a closet supporter of his?

The last 21, minus the 21st, has been abundant with phrases like "me too", "I agree". Can you, Louis, name a single, original policy idea come out of Obama's brain?

Lazt to think.....there are very little "original" ideas out there no matter who it comes from.

OK, assuming you get a full tank of gas every week, if $2 a week will make or break yoru budget you have more serious fish to fry. Gas has gone up that amount in the last two weeks and we have not even gotten to the normal summer increases on fuel. It will do nothing to reduce the cost of transportation and there would be no trickledown. gas prices are high because the demand is high, the supply is controlled by provate parties and the dollar is weak. None of that is affected by the gas tax holiday. however the lsot revenue will allow for road projects to be delayed and repairs and maintainence to be put off. where do you think the money is going to come from to pay for the tax that HRC wants but will ot have a hope of passing? Oil companies get millions in tax breaks and still arbitrarily raise prices. HRC knows this is going no where, but that it sounds good on the news. She learned the republican playbook well abotu campaigning on fear.

At least she has a plan!!!!!!

Hillary needs to stop with the debate crap. She just wants to show us more of why she should not be in office.

Common sense is what Obama is made of, he is a true leader. He thinks before he makes rash decisions.

Now, we see a new low of dirty politics, negative campaign by Obama he himself, by equating his fellow Democrat, only because she is his opponent, to George W. Bush's worst politics.

Can you get any lower than GWB, Mr. Obama?
Apparently, you can.

Clinton is just about as bad as Bush bony. Same old...Same old.

I can see why you like the 21st debate so much, A former Bill Clinton staffer and a member of the media that strongly supported Bill Clinton were the moderators. The questions were inane and non-policy oriented. They devoted all of 5 minutes to fuel prices. Exactly what tough questions are you looking for? I'm concerened about the war, the economy, education, and health care.

The problem is that the tax holiday takes money away from road and bridges... you know the bridges that are FALLING APART!!!!!!!! Literally FALLING APART people!!!!!!!!! We are going to take money away from keeping our roads and bridges safe for $28 per person. That doesn't make any sense. Thank you Obama for telling us what we need to hear. Please get your facts right people. Hillary claims she is going to make up for the money by taxing the oil companies... of all people have been trying to do that forever and can't get the bill passed... so where is the money going to come from???

Louis - It takes about, I don't know, 3000 miles, to ship the good fresh vegetables from California to Indiana. How many gallons of gas you are going to save? 24c x 3000 = $720 per load. Oh, right, you also need to come back. $1440, now. How many loads you can take per month? Let's just say 10. You save $14,400 per month, simply by one trucker in transportation. This, even 50% is transformed into price reduction, your good citizens in Indiana would save $7,200, from one trucker.

How about that money "saved" is spent somewhere else? Does that help the economy? I guess you do not need to worry about this, and BO certainly does not need to care to get it.

You BO supporters do not have to bog down only with 1 tank of gasoline. It is not one tank of gasoline, it is the economy, stupid!

Louis - they're looking for a 90 minute debate about Rev Wright, and other pressing national issues.

Let's face it. Obama hasn't really answered the charges about his kindergarten essays yet.

Silly you, worrying about wars and energy policy.

lazy - Indiana isn't 3,000 miles from California, unless perhaps Clinton campaign staffers are planning the route.

Paul - ok, 4000 miles.

Trivializing $28 is just another way that Obama has demonstrated that he is out of touch with many Americans. Does he know what the Federal minimum wage is? It takes almost 5 hours to make that much money.

Obama is dam if he does and dam if he doesn't with you Hillary people. Give it up. Go study Hillary, if you have common sense you will come back and want Obama. Nothing she says makes sense or would pass through Congress, like her Health Care package she has been carrying around for 35 years. There is a reason it is not effective right now. Her own husband wouldn't even look at.
