1. Run the clip from 2000 when Bush was debating president Gore, blaming Clinton for the "high" gas prices
2. While it runs, display the gas prices when Bush took office (1.41) the highest they were while he was in office (4.12).
3. Have a pane that says, "That's right- they tripled"
4. At the end, have a big screen that says, "Desperate Republicans Lie"

FWIW, when Big Oil threatened Obama over his Keystone veto, he should have gone on the air and told everyone that any price hikes could now be clearly identified as economic terrorism by Big Oil. He pissed away an enormous opportunity that he can't get back
