The idea of a gas tax holiday is obviously purely pandering on the part of two politicians who do not believe that voters will recognize that the gas companies will charge whatever the market will bear regardless of taxes and raise the price anyway. (It's gone up $.20 since they suggested the holiday already!) There would be no savings--not even the $28-$30. And all that's only IF such a proposal were to be embraced and passed by congress--fat chance and Clinton and McCain know that.

Obama isn't pointing out the dishonesty of the proposal nearly enough.
