Obama
for America
"Truth" |
[Music] Obama: I’m Barack Obama and
I approve this message. So I’m here to tell you the truth. 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. [people laugh in audience] 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. We cannot deliver on a better energy policy unless we change how business is done in Washington. We’ve got to go out to the oil companies and look at their price-gouging. [cheers, applause] We’ve got to start using less oil and that means raising fuel efficiency standards on cars and developing alternative fuels. That’s the real honest answer to how we’re going to solve this problem. That’s what you need from a President someone who’s going to tell you the truth. |
| Notes: According to the
press release: U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign
launched a new ad entitled “Truth” today, a response to the Clinton
campaign’s misleading new attack ad. The Clinton ad, in typical
Washington fashion, misrepresents Obama’s plans to stimulate the
economy while advocating a gas tax holiday gimmick as a solution to
high gas prices, even though economists have widely panned the plan as
ineffective. The Obama campaign’s ad will run both in Indiana and
North Carolina.
