Obama Releases Another Ad Hitting Hillary Over Gas Tax Holiday
Obama goes up on the air in Indiana and North Carolina with a third gas tax ad, this one pushing back against Hillary's last-minute ad on Friday hitting him on the issue...
The ad slams the gas tax holiday as "bogus" and a "gimmick," and says that "experts say it'll just boost oil industry profits." The ad also says this:
Clinton aides admit it won't do much for you, but would help her politically.
The Obama campaign says that this is a reference to the following in a recent Washington Post article:
Clinton aides think that even if the measure is a questionable way to reduce gas prices, it allows the candidate to bash oil companies and cast her opponent against an idea that has political appeal.
That's a paraphrase of anonymous quotes, though to my knowledge the Clinton campaign hasn't disavowed this.
