Barack Obama went on the record earlier this evening in opposition of Sen. McCain’s moratorium on the $.18 gas tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Sen. Obama said that the “tax cut” would do little to help consumers in the long run and is simply a tactic to get through an election.

Sen. Obama backed up his rhetoric with fact. Stating that the “tax cut” would hurt highway construction and ultimately cost North Carolina up to 7,000 jobs. Sen. Obama went on further to suggest that the “tax cut” was merely a tactic to appeal to voters this election year.  Coincidentally, Sen. Clinton also supports the proposed “tax cut”.  Which might take on the evil specter of a franchise opportunity in opium or some other taboo trade.
