Obama wanting to do something about Georges Gas



CNN)
— Less than a day after Hillary Clinton’s campaign debuted an ad that attacked Barack Obama for opposing a gas tax holiday, the Illinois senator’s campaign unveiled a new 60-second spot that dubs the idea an ineffective quick fix...

In the spot, Obama calls for an investigation of the nation’s oil companies for price gouging – a position shared by Clinton — and says Congress should adopt a long-term energy strategy that includes higher fuel efficiency standards and a greater investment in alternative fuels.

“We could suspend the gas tax for 6 months, but that’s not going to bring down gas prices long-term. You’re gonna save about 25, 30 dollars…or half a tank of gas,” he says. “That’s typical of how Washington works. There’s a problem, everybody’s upset about gas prices – let’s find some short-term, quick-fix, that we can say we did something even though, even though we’re not really doing anything.”

Please Obama find a plan for gas prices. I have a 06' Corolla that I use to spend $25 to fill, now i'm at $40. Gas prices just keep going up like Janet Jacksons weight is soon to be.

As long as republicans are in charge I doubt anything about the price gouging will be done.

The real solution would be for the United States to adapt eco friendly vehicles and really push for that but of course theres to much money invested for the rich.
