Obama takes positions that seem like sellouts until you read the fine print.Clean coal for example. He's "for" it, but only IF they keep all pollutants and contain all the carbon. Coal boosters talk a big game like they have all that in the bag, but they don't. So O gets to sound like a lean mean pro-pollutin' machine, but in reality clean coal is a myth and they'll never be able to meet his preconditions. Not that coal folks would admit that, they'll just say it's around the corner. McCain was right in one respect, you have to parse his stuff very carefully. It's the same with offshore drilling. The caveats he attaches, even though the oil guys SAY it's doable, they aren't that doable. That's lawyers for you. Me, I back the uninsane candidate on this one.
