Dayton, OH--Ah, energy plans. Today the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama stopped about an hour north of our hometown--where our friend Ephraim's grandfather is buried between the Wright Brothers and Paul Lawrence Dunbar and not far from the founder of Huffy Bikes--to give a speech on how his plan to fix the hole in the Ozone, eliminate all smog, reduce our reliance on foreign oil and create a wind/solar based energy grid differs from that of his Republican rival John McCain's nuclear-clean coal future.
While Obama failed to unveil anything really new, he did bring out his new rhetorical toy he's been playing with lately, which the kids absolutely eat up. He begins by quoting John McCain's statement about the failure of government to form a solution on this country's energy plans for the past thirty years.
"I couldn’t agree more," Obama said and will continue to say for the foreseeable future. "The only problem is that out of those thirty years, Sen. McCain was in Washington for twenty-six of them."
Bam! Take that Mr. Straight Talk! Because while you're figuring out a comeback, we'll be fine-tuning our new electric car equipped with stealth mode which will allow us to to fight crime under the cover of darkness as Batman. Yes, it's true--I am Batman.
