Good Response

Obama on this gas tax nonsense.



I like that they didn't feel the need to quote Krugman or Friedman or every economist alive talking about how silly this is. He just said it in his own words, and tracked it back to the central message of his campaign. And it's refreshing to see a major political candidate treat Americans like adults.

I have, of course, no idea if it'll work. But I'd like to think that it's so different from Bush that it will.
