New Obama ad in Indiana ridiculing the Clinton "gas tax holiday".
He is shown talking to an Indiana crowd about Clinton's proposed gas tax holiday and her criticism of him for not supporting it. He starts ridiculing it as pandering and typical. He then starts joking about how small and insignificant it is, and the crowd starts laughing. He then informs them that the average of $28 they'll save over the entire lifetime of the holiday would buy half a tank of gas, and they laugh louder.

It's infectious and effective.

Here's the 60 second version (the one I saw was 30 seconds)

1. THANK GOODNESS he finally put an ad out on it! I hope he
did not wait too long to show people how silly the Clinton-McCain proposal is.

4. Thank goodness he hasn't.
Watch the video, lessthancool. The distinctions he's drawing are critical.

5. Great Ad! Haven't seen it yet in Indiana. Have gotten a few mailers from SEIU about it though.
