Instead of glad-handing with dreams of dirt-cheap gas and a return to big SUV sales, Senator Obama is being honest:
"We've seen that this quarter. People are changing their behavior and we've seen a slump in the sales of SUVs and big trucks and a drastic spike in cars both medium size and small," he told reporters on his campaign plane.
Obama put responsibility on car makers to make vehicles more fuel efficient.
"They've done a better job of investment than they have in the past. There's still more work to do, and the federal government should help them do it," he said.
Or... what about a gas tax holiday? That was a fun idea for a week or two there.
