Obama slams Romney's opposition to wind energy tax credit

PUEBLO, Colo. – President Obama kept the pressure on GOP opponent Mitt Romney on Thursday in a fight over a wind energy tax credit, as he stumped in southeastern Colorado, a hub of wind power.

“At a moment when homegrown energy, renewable energy, is creating new jobs in states like Colorado and Iowa, my opponent wants to end tax credits for wind energy producers. Think about what that would mean for a community like Pueblo,” Obama told a crowd of about 3,500 people at the Colorado State Fairgrounds. “The wind industry supports about 5,000 jobs across this state. Without those tax credits, 37,000 American jobs, including potentially hundreds of jobs right here in Pueblo, would be at risk.”

“Colorado, it is time to stop spending billions in taxpayer subsidies on an oil industry that’s already making a lot of profit, and keep investing in a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising. That’s the choice in this election,” Obama said.

1. Notice that SEO has reached the speech-writers

Website designers have long been aware of a set of practices, collectively called Search Engine Optimization or SEO, that enhance the visibility of the website on the search engines.

Well, you can see these practices working their way into Obama's speeches. The tip-off i s the inclusion of "Iowa" in a speech delivered in Colorado. They included that, not so much because Iowa was relevant to the good people of Pueblo, but so that anybody searching for "Iowa wind farms" might see this speech or articles covering the speech.

There are lots of other strong keywords built into the speech, but they are well integrated into the thread of discussion.
