Obama speech to detail oil spill response, call for energy reform

Reporter: Now tell us Mr. Obama, just exactly what is your Oil plan?
Obama: I'm raising taxes.
Reporter: I see. And how does that help clean up the oil in the Gulf?
Obama: You obviously don't know how things work.
Reporter: It seems not. So honest, hard working Americans pay higher taxes and the oil mess in the Gulf just sort of goes away. Is that what you are saying, Mr. President?
Obama: That man is a Republican plant!
(Sounds of man being plumled with clubs)
Obama: Mr. Brokaw. What is your question?
Tom Brokaw: How high will these taxes be, Mr. President and who will be stuck with the burden?
Obama: Well, I wouldn't worry, Tom. You and I are in the upper end so we don't pay taxes. It's the little, insugnicant people to pay taxes. (Sound of chuckling).
Tom Brokaw: And why not raise taxes on the Oil Companies?
Obama: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Raise taxes on the oil companies? Who do you thing put me in office to begin with? Tax the oil companies. (Rachaus laughter)
Tom Brokaw: But you are already in office, Mr. President. Umm...
Obama: Tom... you just don't understand, do you? Second term, Tom.
Tom Brokaw: But Mr. President, the polls show you a large loser in the next presidenctial election. In fact, you are 15 points behind Ted Kennedy and he's dead.
(Sounds of plumling)...
