Obama is now pushing Clinton's windfall tax very heavily in Nc right now. He too expects his followers to be too ingnorant to realize that the windfall tax would raise gasoline prices. Unlike Clinton, Obama has not yet realized that he can offer to cut the Federal taxes on gasoline by making the oil companies collect the money and thus look good due to the ignorance of his followers.
