Despite Hillary Clinton’s claims, that she is a fighter poised to fight Opec and the oil industry in your name, she is in a grand coalition with McCain to provide the oil companies with an unexpected, quite unneeded and, if I may say so, undeserved windfall in summer. The concept of a “gas tax holiday” has a relaxing sound to it. Who wouldn’t wan’t to get on a holiday from the rise in gas prices. Especially poor families are hit hard and would welcome a much needed break.

Since Senator Clinton learned in Ohio and Pennsylvania, that it is the blue collar crowd, who will provide her with the votes needed to keep her ambition alive, she is in full populism mode. But, the gas tax holiday will only help oil companies racking up their profits yet again in summer. Summer is the main travel season, too. To get on your much needed real holidays, you are making the fattest corporate cats even fatter.

This plan is so obviously bull, that even Bloomberg is praising Barack Obama for his level-headed analysis. Here is what Barack Obama said:

Whether the American public is prepared to sell their votes for an average of $28 remains to be seen.
