President Obama sure seems to be enjoying himself on the campaign trail. Here he is today in Iowa, mocking Mitt Romney's absurd comment about driving with a windmill on the roof of his car:
And at a moment when homegrown energy is creating new jobs in states like Iowa, my opponent wants to end tax credits for wind energy producers. He's said new sources of energy like these are "imaginary." His running mate calls them a "fad."
During a speech a few months ago, Governor Romney even explained his energy policy this way: "You can't drive a car with a windmill on it."
That's what he said about wind power: "You can't drive a car with a windmill on it."
Now, I don't know if he's actually tried that. I know he's had other things on his car.
Apparently, Mitt Romney would rather strap the family dog to the roof of his car than take the time to learn about how wind and other renewable sources can generate the energy we need to fuel a new generation of vehicles that run on electricity.
Wind energy is a big deal in places like Iowa, and Romney's opposition to it is one of the reasons he's going to lose there. It's not just Obama going after Romney's position, either. Iowa's Republican governor has criticized Romney too.
As for the Seamus mocking, that's just an added bonus. Winning sure is fun, isn't it?
