Obama is the only one of the 3 who has acknowledged that he voted for a gas tax break in Illinois, and learned by that experience that it does not work. The oil companies did indeed up the price of gas equivalent to the tax break amount, so they did not lose a dime and then the prices continued to climb. At least he was honest enough to own up to his mistake and learn from it.
