It's not about the gas tax (stupid)
This issue isn't about the gas tax, it's about Hillary Clinton finding her voice and attempting to paint a contrast between her as "doer" and Obama as "thinker."
I believe Hillary jumped on the McCain bus (with a windfall profit twist) to amplify the new her: the person who will fight the world to protect Americans, get tough with Iran, oil companies, anyone who gets in her way. This gas tax thing is an extension of her quest to display balls under her skirt.
The problem is that it might be better to not be a "doer" if you're doing the wrong thing, like voting to authorize the Iraq war and the Kyle Lieberman bill and puffing up against Iran and anyone else who gets in the way. If memory serves, we've just spent 7 years suffering someone attempting to show balls and look where we are.
Isn't it ironic that the one with the supposed resume of experience (Clinton) is the most reactionary and the one with the supposed weak resume (Obama) is the most considered.
As political pandering, reactionary might work but it won't work to run and change the country. I choose considered, I choose Obama.
