10. Oh, you want to talk about the gas tax?
Ok...

It is my understanding that Obama isn't saying that $30 is nothing. He's saying
that we'll never see it.

Barack Obama said that $20 or $30 is a big deal, during his speech in Indiana last night.

What he's suggesting is that the gas and oil companies will raise the price of gas to offset
the gas tax that they will be forced to absorb.

Therefore prices won't change.

This has been demonstrated as the reality when other states have cut the gas tax.

So...Obama doesn't agree that $30 is something that "no one cares about" as you said.

Still wondering what an elite is though....
