Barack Obama and Joe Biden visit Biodiesel Plant

[stillgettingolder]

obama is great

[Nominay]

Stop making the "Biden" light blue - make it white like "Obama" - it's driving me crazy, I've never seen a ticket advertised that way before.

[e4phil]

obama is also a millionaire, just like mccain!!hahah suckers...and if obama is the "change" candidate as he claims, then why does he pick and old has been washington insider type like biden as his vice president? you democrats are suckers...liberals don't cut your taxes, obama, if elected, god forbid would be more than able to spend your money for you...and happy to do it

[nitro169169]

why do my post continue to be REMOVED.

OBAMA CENSORSHIP!

[nitro169169]

Living in Minnesota, we know all to well about ethanol and bio-diesel. Ethanol has been 10% of our gasoline since the early 90's!

We all know that the stuff is BAD! less energy per gallon, requires 0.9 gallons of gasoline and about 30 gallons of precious fresh water, to make 1 gallon of ethanol. The plants STINK. It is not good for cars, it has 33% less energy, and hence 33% less MPG, and HP from the same engine running on gasoline. The truth is out there, all over the net. LOOK!

[gandy74]

This was a cellulosic ethanol plant using non edible biomass and renderings from chickens. This is not a corn ethanol plant!

[909pleasantville]

How come the Obama campaign has not focused on the estimated $418 billion dollar deficit in 2008 that was a surplus in 2000, the $4/gallon gas that was $1/gal, the millions of cut jobs, and the millions of jobs sent overseas?

Why not repeat these "facts" over and over again daily in your campaign until the voters get it.

[s6u6r6f6]

the dumbest man in the senate pals with the least knowledgeable. sheesh.

[bluecamaro98]

Obama's socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the "champions" of "Chicago's democratic left" and a long-time socialist activist.

[cogicmj]

Obama and Biden are going to take the White House back. Vote For Change in 08.

[Karriko23]

I think choosing a strong woman as vp is change I believe in.

[john51880]

Ethonal is a total loser. It cost more to make and is not cleaner to burn. It drove up corn prices on the tax payers buck. I wounder if biodiesel would make it with out your tax dollars being used.

[socctty]

Ethanol and biodiesel aren't the same thing. Biodiesel has methyl and ethyl chains and can be made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Algae can even be turned in to biodiesel.

Today most biodiesel (85%) is made in the EU, not the US, so the subsidy angle is a bit overplayed.

Biofuels are best when they come from recycled material. And they are only part of the solution.

Nevertheless, using land that can be used for food crops for fuel is dumb.

[lovejangie1]

Good job, Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden. Keep working hard. Thanks for post this clip.

[mayyourtruthbetold]

A massive investment in renewables would give us the economy of scale needed to bring down unit prices, build new American industrial capability, and give us independence. The feasibility of this has been noted by public and private analysts such as David S. Freeman, Amory Lovins, and DOE constants since the 1970's.

[strylowskia90]

Domestic renewable fuel would be great and under Obama and Biden I think we'll see something like that expand to all 50 states. I want my hydrogen car now!

Obama Biden 08'

[mayyourtruthbetold]

As Palin has noted, drilling will require new transport and refining infrastructures, and must be used as a bridge to renewable energy, if we are to be free of Middle East and endless warfare. We don't have those infrastructures now and will have to make massive investments of time and money to get them. It would be wiser to instead invest that time and money/debt in renewables now using existing technologies.

[GearVault]

mayyourtruthbetold said: "Palin has noted, drilling will require new transport and refining infrastructures, and must be used as a bridge to renewable energy"

Your Palin (I call her Mrs. Drama) also supports bridges to nowhere. The time for fuel alternatives is NOW!

[Mischeaux61]

Biden and Obama are just great together. So happy about this partnership.

[x3430x3430]

Simply amazing! Obama 08!

[ClassicFIHD]

What did they all say? Joe Biden who?

[Steveypoo101]

Barrack is amazing

[HanDaGOAT]

Change!

Go Obama

[2ak3n]

great team!

great start!

proud of everyone for making this happen!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!

[booglegoog]

looks liek hes gonna do somthing about global warming :D

[olejazzman]

Obama is on top of the issues. He brings youthful enthusiasm into the campaign and he acts very presidential. His leadership skills will more than compensate for any qualities he may lack. I'll take leaders with sound and consistent good judgment over experience any day. Washington D.C. is invested with politicians with experience, and you see where that has led us. Experience must be combined with integrity, competence, and trustworthiness to be worthy of our votes.

[BluePirate55]

It's time to repower America with 100% clean electricity in 10 years.

Go Obama/Biden! ^_^

[treasureit]

McCain and Palin are the real choice for the White House.

McCain with his experience and leadership can stand up to the special interest.

Obama with his two years of expereince on trying to learn where to go, has not a clue how to stand against special interest.

Pallin has had more experience than obama and she offers a better chance for real substantive changes. Congress is broke. two senators with a plan on "change" and nothing to show is too much of a chance we can not afford to take.

[PERGUETANO1978]

Obama is just a cool guy that can talk pretty, but he cannot be president.

[talktojen]

THIS is the change that America needs. biofuel from recycled cooking grease/oil and algae farms. harness the methane in cow flops, and you can fuel your own farm!

[macflyfilm]

The thumbnail for this video looks like it's Stone-cold Steve Austin.

[macflyfilm]

Vote for hope not fear US.

[greeniem]

guys, i so think we're winning this time. This is going to be wonderful for our country and our people. I've never been so excited!

[HardCoreShuffler20]

like he said its time for a change are generation is gonna be one of the most revolutionised in history GO AMERICA

[smartyPa]

all u have to do is vote November 4th for Obama and Biden

[colderama]

Very good policy and they are totally acting like a team. Obama made a good choice.

[ppraish]

Great job! I wish they showed this on TV. Unfortunately, republicans control the media, so we don't get all the news. Just be careful of Palin. Please don't make the mistake of underestimating her. She is McCain's trump card. she is somewhat similar to Dick Cheney. i wish you all the best Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden.

[ezigbonne]

yh go Obama just keep workin hard and u will make the white house !

[XskertsoX]

Go Obama/Biden!

[StarIessNight]

Is it really a secret that middle eastern oil is produced by American companies owned by members of the current US administration?

[Agnastar]

Does that sound plausible in the least?

[ppraish]

Why is this not on national TV? The local news channels should broadcast this. I know Fox News will not show it.

[Boggle7]

That's because Fox 'News' isn't news.

[LedZepTillDeath58]

they only show the truth and i know you will call fox news bigotry and censorship or whatever but democrats are just plain blind to the ignorance of their politicians

[Romulan007]

Thank God for these two fine men. After the last 7 1/2 years the shroud is lifting and they will bring light into this country once again. President Obama and Vice President Biden!

[Itsnotthisitsnotthat]

its beautiful

[101feven101]

this is great. the world will be a lot better when they win

[listenandwait]

they are such a great team! so articulate so honest!

oh i just love them! obama & biden 08!

[Zyarxian17]

How does one register Democrat? I'm new :(

[asignofthetimes]

You can just stop by your town hall and fill out a form, it takes five minutes.

[ilyavid]

You can just go to your nearest post office and ask them for a registration card, but you don't have to register a Democrat in order to vote for a Democratic ticket in general elections. You can register Independent or whatever you prefer, just register!

C ya on November 4th, bro.

[cadetstarnoodle]

Go to your library; they should have a voter registration card!  If not, ask the librarian and he/she will tell you what to do. This is a lovely video. I admire these guys. I'm excited. XO Love that team, including the Obama and Biden families. RIGHT ON!!!!!!!

[cwoodups]

you don't have to register democrat to vote that way

[inyourface668]

Nowadays, just walk outside and someone will ask you to.

[J3423]

Do a web search for your state board of elections. Your board of elections website should provide you with the information you need to register.

[AscendKingu]

register to vote.

[mest5621]

bring it home in november for us barack/joe take down those republicans

[Ken1567]

I hope he wins

[Ken1567]

I hope he wins

[sukiesoya]

Fantastic!

[JoshRachlis]

These are two smart guys who care about the world, checking out and learning about technologies that will help the country and help the world. It's a great thing to see. America would be lucky to be led by such a team. And as a Canadian, I can say I'm jealous that our "leaders" don't measure up.

[sol3dg3]

Both add and compliment each other's strengths.

[13abby]

obama 08

[tejpatel69]

yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!who hoooo!

[LordBLB]

They need to dump money into this issue, like JFK's administration did for the Moon Project.

We need to make it happen, and soon. These guys just might be willing to jump onboard.

Obama '08

[john51880]

If the buisness of biodiesel production is profitable why not dump your own money instead of goverment money. Free enterprize! Less goverment!!

[socctty]

This sounds great and all until you come to realize that government by its nature creates the foundation of markets in the areas under it's jurisdiction.

Your free market wouldn't have developed the Eisenhower Interstate system, for example, which ended up kicking our economy into high gear because it facilitated trade.

This is the sort of cautious and measured role the govt should play in the energy conundrum we find ourselves in. The free market will just exhaust petroleum and then what?

[ShaynaEllery]

i love you obama!! our new president!! :)

[EddyG1987]

Obama & Joe 08

[rudoray26]

Two of the smartest men in America right now!!

[snowgirl1455]

[joejonesluv13]

[Xone7]

I cant wait for the big Labor Day Parade in Detroit. Its going to b a beautifulday.

[teeftaller7]

Obama/Biden 2008!!!!

[4dafifteen]

Go Obama!

[oooooDisgruntledMonk]

Biofuels will be great once we figure out how to use less energy making them than they put out.

[Islam4BarackHObama]

Obama08!

[HordeFTL]

I also love Obama =]

[lisalary]

Go Obama!!!!

[TheEyesOfNye]

Next president. No doubt.

[jayy4life]

[segagman]

defend civil liberties, respect diverse beliefs

condemn objection to one set ideal, fight for free speech.

defend the everyman.the voter.the worker.the Obama supporter

let freedom ring

let me tell my coworkers that i support Obama with out rebuke

let me tell the world i want change not for me but for my 19 month old son

and

let me say i agree with most of what Obama has in mind but not all

iWILLvote Barack Obama butTHEfight gos on&HE defends R HOPE.

[bobjenz]

It's UNBELIEVABLE how much better Obama's videos are even produced compared to McCain's.

[KadirT21]

i'm not american, but if i had the chance to vote, i would vote for obama. he is sempathic to many people in the world, because he is the first black candidate. but I listended to his speechs, and i feel deep in my heart that barrack obama is the right maan for the white house!

[porplemontage]

nice obama biden thing

[memefe]

this could be another industrial revolution for business and work. the last 8 years have been wasted on trying to hold onto oil and old technologies. science is not a bad thing. the main difference is being open to new things and knowing that we can't go on with the status quo

[darkroxas789]

Obama and JoeBiden will get

Osama Bin Laden.

[dj99surf]

Joe looks comfortable in his role as a vp candidate. Such a smart man.

[rmbb10]

Obama is tha man.

[smartcookie76]

There's lots of chemistry (no pun intended on the biodiesel) between Obama and Biden. They will make a great White House team.

[bobjenz]

funny, I was thinking the same thing and I looked down and you wrote it!

[xb0xher0]

Can't agree with you more, they will make an excellent team.

[russelljgarner]

I agree, I had started to lean McCain a little because of tax issues (mostly raising the fica cap.) But now that I have seen both VP picks I like the Obama Biden team ALOT. I will definitely be voting Dem this year

[piyushsoniccc]

Biden is smart

[Weeeeesami]

these men just feel like the leaders of tomorrow!!!!! WooHoo!

[HaloedG]

I sent them an email 2 weeks ago about visiting a biodiesel plant! Its great to see a President and Vice President actually go and SEE the change that can happen with alternative fuel!

Obama/Biden 2008

[insanelygreatproduct]

joe-bama

[MountOlivet]

Investing in alternative fuel sources will do alot of good for our country. It will help America to break the grip of foreign oil, create millions of new jobs, and create sustainable energy resources for many generations. Obama has the right idea when it comes to energy and McCain doesn't. McCain is in the tank for big oil and not for what America really needs when it comes to energy policy. Obama/Biden '08!

[pedroOAMR]

the best alternative!

[CalexanderJ]

Biden is on point! Great pick Obama!

[iSpeakApple]

OBAMA 08 baby!

[furty786]

obama/biden!!

[YawnXen]

So why subsidize it? Why blow $150 Billion if we already have it? Why not get government out of the subsidy business? A single executive order could stop the fed from buying gas guzzlers and stop federal car allowances. We don't need to waste another cent of tax money to get the goal of less dependence on Saudi oil.

[mia206]

Beautiful!

[edmard09]

We need more jobs in Michigan! OBAMA FOR THE WIN!!!!

[Supermegapowerguy]

Obama rules! I really hope he wins! I know that sounded kinda dorky but im really excited about whats going to come ahead.

[Supermegapowerguy]

Obama rules! I even have bumper stickers, signs, t-shirts and everything. I just need to get enough money to donate.

[Degrassi123]

This guy is amazing! He's totally awesome!!

[superfunkymalicto]

I love all of these guys so, so much. I already feel like Joe and Jill are my own personal friends. (I've felt about Barack and Michelle like that for a long time.) I'm also very happy to see the political family here coming together to show their passion towards pursuing alternative energies to save our economy and out planet.

GO JOEBAMA!

[Y2p731]

I hope there will be more biodiesel plants across the country. Renewable energy is the way to go.

[sackingbedford]

YES WE CAN 08!!!

[1yoda7]

Go Obama! Go renewable resources!

[JerkyChid]

The great change, intelligence

[mia206]

Amazing

[dtman83]

Obama will win in November, he represents the change the world needs.

[Halocuber]

Thank god for Obama!

[paulinobrener]

Go Obama! Go renewable resources!

[mynameisethan182]

alt fuels ftw!

[dtman83]

I love obama!
