I agree with you, I think Brown is doing this as a premptive strike to attempt to stop the Romney Campaign from raising this as an issue. People should be outraged that the radical liberals think that we are this easy to be manipulated. This a “let them eat cake” moment, a short term fix for a problem that THEY created. It’s an outrage, and Romney ought to slam them over the head with this, short term fix, or no short term fix.
He started the slam in the debate. I loved the line about the taxbreaks for the evil oil companies were a fraction of 0bama's billions to failed solar and green energy. There is a target rich environment.
The problem with that is we are just 4 weeks away from the election and the news of high gas prices is already OUT THERE and this will be talked about for weeks..
