With windfall, it's about punishment. Obama is going to force big oil to give the American people some of their money back. Sure, gas prices will rise to try and compensate, but the loss will be there and the oil companies will be hated even more when the prices rise. Big oil loses money in the short term and PR in the long term. It's punishment. In addition to that, it takes pressure off independent oil and alternative energy because big oil will be occupied. Mind you, I'm not providing Obama's explanation. Obama's explanation is that it will help American families.
Obama doesn't want to talk about guns. I can't really blame him, I mean I wouldn't discuss them if I were running except to say, "I support the Supreme Court's interpretations of the Second Amendment" or something to that effect.
