What BBN said about it

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMS NOW says that on gas prices, the president is recycling an old argument, that bad news is secretly good news, and the pump is where you feel it.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe have to go back to the facts, folks, because the pump doesn't care who's winning the argument.

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's empty, and I'm calling it a personal best.
