"President-elect Obama announced the policy during the campaign because oil prices were above $80 per barrel," an aide on Obama's transition team said according to Reuters. "They are currently below that now and expected to stay below that."
The big question now is what other taxes will Obama raise to replace the revenue not generated from the windfall tax? Don't think for a minute this is an overall tax cut.
Maybe he will give them a bail out instead
