"I want to build on the progress we've made. Doubling clean energy. I want fuel efficient cars and long-lasting batteries and wind turbines manufactured here in China! I don't want them manufactured in China, I want them manufactured here in the United States!"
But in a June 10, 2008 interview on CNBC with John Harwood, Obama clearly indicates that his problem with the high prices prevailing then was not that they are high, but that they ramped up too quickly. He talks about ways to mitigate the impact of high prices instead of ways to reduce them and suggests that the increase could be beneficial, saying, “we can come out of this stronger.”

Here, let me requote Obama's quote that you quoted:
"I want to build on the progress we've made. Doubling clean energy. I want fuel efficient cars and long-lasting batteries and wind turbines manufactured here in China! I don't want them manufactured in China, I want them manufactured here in the United States!"
His point was obvious and clear. Why start a thread over something so petty? Bored? Partisan hack? Both?

Truth generally slips up when a person is trying to really hide it Thats why it is important to listen what they babble during their busy moments making campaign speeches. Who the heck knows what his real intentions are with regards to the Chinese firms and energy sector IF he is re-elected?

It was not clear.
Either a Freudian slip or a teleprompter failure, it still shows a lack of ability.
Regardless, so far his green energy initiatives have turned out to be black holes for taxpayer dollars.
I believe the federal government should invest substantially more in basic research — on new energy sources, fuel-economy technology, materials science and the like — that will ultimately benefit the automotive industry, along with many others. I believe Washington should raise energy research spending to $20 billion a year, from the $4 billion that is spent today. The research could be done at universities, at research labs and even through public-private collaboration.

Freudian slip?? The Chinese were dominating the Wind market for the bulk of Obama's term. It wasn't until the end of the Summer when we finally started getting tough with tariffs on Chinese Wind turbine components.

Marion, Ohio - With so many swing states to hit in so little time, Vice President Biden mistakenly referred to Ohio as Iowa while attacking Mitt Romney.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the guy who's running all the ads here in Iowa saying that he's going to get tough on China," Biden said. Problem was, he was at a high school in Ohio.
Biden, though, clearly knew which state he was in, having only minutes earlier joked he'd been in Ohio cities that sounded like "datin' and marryin" during his three-day swing through the state.
Sharing a conversation he had just wrapped up, Biden told the crowd an "Ohioan said, where are you coming from? And I said, Dayton. And he said, where are you going? I said, Marion. He said, I read in the paper you said you love Ohio. He said, that must be true; you've gone from Dayton Ohio, to Marion, Ohio."
Biden quipped, "I thought -- I'd never thought of that way. I didn't think I was marrying y'all."
The vice president was in rare form in Marion, doling out the Bidenisms with great relish.
