Debate: Gas prices
In a moment of seeming straight-forwardness, both are just ticking off what they would do and not running off (at the mouth). It’s clear that the moderators are trying to move this along. Time is ticking.
Hillary Clinton:
- “We will investigate these gas prices. I believe there is market manipulation going on.”
- “I would quit putting oil into the strategic petroleum deserve.”
- If things continue to get worse: “We should have a windfall profits tax on these oil companies.”
- “We need a long-term strategy.”
Barack Obama:
- “We’ve got investigate price gouging and market manipulation.”
- I’ve called for a windfall profits tax.
- “The long-term trajectory is that we’re going to have to get serious on increasing our fuel efficiency standards and our cars.”
- I want to create an “Apollo Project,” like a Manhattan Project, to find the new solution through some private and national enterprise.

Well, I’ll say this. Obama has Hill on this topic. I wouldn’t be for anyone who wants to stop storing in the strategic reserve.
