If you weren’t one of the select few invited to see President Obama speak at the POET Biorefining plant in Macon, MO yesterday then don’t despair (you probably weren’t anyway). I’ve got you covered. Here’s his full remarks in video for you.

Cindy has written a good editorial on his remarks on Domestic Fuel you might want to read. I agree with her that his message really lacked substance and was disappointing to corn growers and farmers. He had a great chance to bring a really positive message and perhaps use the stage to announce some progress in the politics of ethanol and other biofuels like biodiesel. However, he didn’t. I think it’s great that the President chose to visit and bring attention to ethanol but he only mentioned the word agriculture in referring to the state and national directors of agriculture in attendance and never mentioned corn even though he was standing next to a full bucket load of it. I take it that the industry still has its work cut out for it in Washington, DC.
