I agree with your post but I think he should also compare Obama to Carter in a new attack ad. He should say: "Obama wants to lower gas prices by inflating tires and imposing a windfall tax on oil companies. We've tried that before and it failed. Do we want to go back to the failed policies of the past (show pictures of cars lined up in the 70s waiting for gas, etc.) or do we want a comprehensive solution? John McCain is for offshore drilling, renewable energy, clean coal, nuclear so that we can become energy independent."

I agree "The ad needs to play that video of Obama saying $4.00 gas was about the right price---then it needs to fade to Obama telling us we could solve the crisis by inflating our tires." And, should include Pelosi's comment similar to let them eat cake. Linking both together as "in the pocket of" the radical Enviro left and ACLU anti-drilling bloc.

As far as the Carter linkage on the Windfall Prodit tax Ponzi scheme, (show pictures of cars lined up in the 70s waiting for gas, etc.) good idea many people are either not old enought or don't remember the long gas lines and crippling effect of 55mph on transportation. The only beneficiaries that won't pay the Windfall tax back directly as it is imposed via pass through to drivers will be inner city public transportation users.
