Remember in April when John McCain and Hillary Clinton were whining about the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax? Both of them wanted to suspend the tax and implement a 'Gas Tax Holiday'. Barack Obama said that was foolish since the oil and gas companies would merely gobble up that 18.4 cents in no time.
Gas was $3.40 - $3.50 a gallon then. Today the national average price of gasoline is $4.08.
Guess who would have sucked up that 18.4 cents windfall from that 'holiday'? You sure wouldn't have.
