Barack Obama: "It's a Shell game."

Here's a fun segment from Barack's closing argument, made yesterday in Indianapolis, in which he pokes Clinton for not being able to find anyone to defend her gas-tax holiday other than...a lobbyist for Shell Oil:

Excerpt:

Does anyone here really trust the oil companies to give you the savings, when they could just pocket the money themselves? There's not an expert out there that believes that this is going to work. There's not an editorial out there that has said this is actually the answer to high gas prices.  In fact, my understanding is, today, Sen. Clinton had to send out a surrogate to speak on behalf of this plan, and all she could find was, get this, a lobbyist for Shell Oil to explain how this is going to be good for consumers. It’s a Shell game. Literally.
