    Let me get this straight

    Joan writes:

    "On this topic, though, Obama is far more courageous, for continuing to oppose the gas-tax holiday even though pandering to fed-up voters might help him politically."

    So if Obama had supported the gas tax holiday, he would be "pandering," but when Hillary supports it, she's courageous.

    Wow.
