In talking about the Clinton/McCain gas tax holiday proposal yesterday, Obama mentioned a Shell oil lobbyist as the surrogate advocating this idea.

ABC News Jake Tapper, says that starting at 10:53, Obama "took a turn not in his prepared remarks":

"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, Senator 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."
