Last summer, Obama knew that even the 1.5 million dead voters registered in Ohio might not be enough to win him the election. So he pretended for a few weeks that he was a big supporter of coal.

Everyone knows election season is a time of craven politicking. But a new radio ad the Obama campaign is running in Ohio might be a new low, dinging Mitt Romney for remarking that coal “kills people.”

Here’s a clip of the ad, which is running in Ohio, via Politico:

“When he ran for President, Barack Obama pledged to support clean coal and invest in new technologies,” the ad says.

In Saturday’s statement, Obama emphasized the economic opportunities that could come from tackling carbon emissions.

“We’ll need scientists to design new fuels, and farmers to grow them,” he said. “We’ll need engineers to devise new sources of energy, and businesses to make and sell them.”

Obama to announce Tuesday he will regulate existing power plants as part of climate strategy

Devise new sources of energy? It sounds like his teleprompter is still smoking choom. I wonder if Obama has ever actually spoken to an engineer?

Most of the water in the west is currently used to grow crops.  Biofuels are an unmitigated disaster, as is Obama’s presidency.

The White House has shown no respect for the rights of people inside or outside the United States, and now makes demands based on an imagined moral authority?

Obama wants to “make electricity prices skyrocket” in order to protect the poor from global warming.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour speaks with Nobel Prize-winning climatologist Richard Alley about why the poor will be more likely to notice the effects of global warming before the rich.
