The thumping that you hear is Obama wondering what he was thinking when he picked Biden for VP, while repeatedly slamming his head against the wall ........<g> How can you say such a thing, when everybody knows that Obama is running on his great judgment?

Today Biden let slip that the Obama camp is for NO COAL PLANTS IN AMERICA. blogs.abcnews.com Approached following a rally in Maumee, Ohio, last Tuesday, Biden was asked by a campaigner for 1Sky, an organization against the development of new coal-fired power plants, why he supports clean coal at a time when “wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio.” The animated, close-talking Biden then put his hands on the woman’s shoulders and launched into a passionate, finger-wagging argument that he and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., do not support clean coal. “We're not supporting clean coal,” Biden said. “Guess what? China is building two every week, two dirty coal plants. And it's polluting the United States, it's causing people to die.” “So will you support wind and solar and alternate technologies?” the woman questioned. “Absolutely, before anybody did,” came Biden’s reply. “The first guy to introduce a global warming bill was me 22 years ago. The first guy to support solar energy was me 26 years ago. It came out of Delaware.” “But guess what?,” he continued. “China's gonna burn 300 years of bad coal unless we figure out how to clean their coal up because it's gonna ruin your lungs and there's nothing we can do about it.” “No coal plants here in America!” pledged the Democratic vice-presidential nominee. “Build 'em, if they're gonna build 'em, over there and make 'em clean because they're killing ya.” No sooner had the video surfaced then Republicans pointed out that Biden’s answer conflicted with Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention last month when he proclaimed his ticket’s support for clean coal development. “As president,” said Obama, “I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology and find ways to safely harness nuclear power.” And Biden’s remarks also stood in stark contrast to his own comments this weekend at the United Mine Workers of America annual fish fry in Castlewood, Virginia, when he told the miners that “we have enough coal in the United States of America to meet our needs domestically for the better part of the next 100 to 200 years.” Holy cow. Put Biden's two remarks side by side and you have one KILLER McCain ad. The Obama people are lying through their teeth - telling coal people they're for clean coal and environmentalists we ARE NOT for clean coal. I love Joe Biden. Obama was an IDIOT for picking him! Heck this all by itself shows Obama is not qualified for the job of President.
