BROWNSBURG, Indiana (CNN) - As Hillary Clinton and John McCain’s separate proposals for a summertime elimination of the gas tax continue to be a focus for all three candidates, Clinton said Thursday insisted her plan isn’t a cure-all, but a temporary break for those feeling the pinch of high gas prices.
“Invariably someone will say something along the lines of, "Well, you know, we shouldn’t be doing these short-term fixes, we shouldn’t try to relieve people’s pain at the pump. We should only have long-term plans.’” Clinton told a small gathering outside Indianapolis. “We need both! It is not either/or.”
“Sen. Obama says we shouldn’t do it and it’s a gimmick, and Sen. McCain says we should do it but we shouldn’t pay for it.” She added. “I sometimes feel like the Goldilocks of this campaign. You know, not too much, not too little. Just right.”
“This isn't a real solution. This is a gimmick,” Obama countered. “This is what Washington does whenever there's a big problem. They pretend that they're solving it to try to get though political season but they don't really solve it.
Meanwhile, Clinton strategist Geoff Garin said their polling has shown "working people appreciate the fact that Senator Clinton understands the incredible economic strain they are facing."

Los Angeles Judge Saves Hillary's Presidential Bid

FROM THE WORDS OF MICHAEL MOORE:
Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"
Hillary you're one tough lady, you have more balls than your opponent, you have the support and vote of middle America especially the REAGAN DEMOCRATS!
DITTO: to first blog....
She is much more like PINOCCHIO than Goldilocks!!
OR ..........more like.................PANDER Bear...!!!!
I think she meant 'Gridlock'.....she must have misspoken..
Goldilocks? How about the big bear!!!! Hillary?
Mr. Moore,just shut up and go away.In 2004 you supported the Democrat, contender,who did not win.To use words like freightening voters,and "disgusting" is in itself way out of your personality.Now I guess you can apply for superdelegate status and support Obama !!!
We know how much she likes fairy tales:-
Once upon a time in the land of Bosnia.............
Goldilocks, I think not, Pinnochio definitely.
gas tax is about 5% (18 cents)- figure out what that would save you and decide if its worth losing money to maintain roads/bridges etc.
for me, it was about $40 all summer... doesn't seem worth it for that $40 spread over 3 months
Maybe that's why Hillary's big money supporters defected to Obama after recognizing Hillary playing the role of Goldilocks.
Go Hillary!
Like Pooka said, Goldilocks broke into their home, violated their things and then complained the whole time how something she felt entitled to (other things food) wasn't made exactly to her specifications.
Bravo Hillary. Thanks for making me ashamed of women in this country yet again.
Goldilocks is a fairytale...America needs REAL CHANGE
Go Obama 08
Really, I was thinking Pinocchio
Maybe the boy who cried wolf.
Hillary is right. We need a short term goal until we come up with the real solution to our long term goal.
Obama's pastor is right about Barrack Obama he would say anything just to get elected. Wright knows him very well for 2 decades.
People don't get fooled by his flowery words. If something is too good to be true, it must be untrue!!! He's selling himself just to get elected.
Lawyers lie to win a case and I believe Obama and his wife are both lawyers, right? Got the point or do I have to say more?
Hillary for President! 2008
Is the reaction to this policy, serious issue, from people such as the Mayor of New York, or the Speaker of the House not news worthy?
idiots...garin is a Clinton strategist. You call this news?
Finally,North Carolina voter,who are leaning in support to Hillary,is not a gimmick.The once a double digit lead in favor of Obama,has now plumeted to a single digit!Thanks to Gov.Easley.The indiana poll is a toss up.BothClinton and Obama are statistically tied.That is something to think about!! Don't blame Hillary!
So Hillary Clinton is a dumb blonde girl who wants to break into houses and steal food?
Obama’s Islamic Terrorist Fundraiser
Fri, 04/25/2008 – 15:25 — Judicial Watch Blog
The chairman of an Islamic “charity” shut down by the U.S. government for funding Middle Eastern terrorists has dedicated himself to raising money for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
With his Ohio-based terrorist funding operation closed, Hatem El-Hady has committed to raising substantial funds for the Illinois senator, according to an in-depth article in an investigative news publication that regularly breaks important stories ignored by the mainstream media.
Was Goldilocks involved in scam artist tactics? And did she have
a husband that was the second scammer of the team?
Hey HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND Barrack SUPPORTERS, IT"S OVER. Iran is pissed at her because of her idiotic comment about obliterating them. THe supers aren't going to stand for it. She already supported one war, now she's starting another. They (Iran) that is filed a formal complaint with the UN. Brilliant Hillary! YOu just ended the race. ALL us Obama supporters thank you from the bottome of our hearts. Hey, you always have a career in acting................
