That’s what Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a Democrat from my home, coal-producing state of West Virginia said about the president’s conflicting statements and actions on clean-coal technology. “He’s beginning to be not believable to me,” Rockefeller said.

As Don Surber of the Charleston Daily Mail helpfully reminded his readers, Rockefeller is the same man who said this of Obama a little more than a year ago: “He’s the president I’ve been waiting for all my life.”

Obama’s double talk and broken promises — not just on clean-coal technology but on about any issue you pick — have done wonders to open the eyes of even his biggest fans.
