Oddly reminiscent of his bizarre “Need some wood?” ad-lib during the debates, the President ventured into coal territory on Wednesday:

[The President] asked the audience: “Do you realize we’ve got 250 million years of coal?”

The White House stenographers had to give that one a “[sic]” because in fact, the United States has only 250 years of coal reserves, not 250 million years.

Further proving his own point that he is not a “numbers-cruncher” or “one of these bean counters.”
