You kill the coal power plants, it will mean going without power for plants, homes, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, gov't buildings...on and on. How will the coal miners have power to run their equipment? Won't need as many miners if the coal production need is cut by one half or more. The steel mills will close because they have no power to make steel...which means the auto industry is impacted, then there is the railroads who depend heavily on hauling coal and cars....businesses that fun in tandem with the coal industry, drip, drip pretty soon a depression worse than Hoover's!

It'd take 10 years to get a nuke plant up and running or more. Natural gas is out of the question as they won't let you drill for it in the US.

If the comments are months old then why didn’t Obama-Ayers-Annenberg Foundation’s Fact Check . Ogre find them when groups were exposing the lies said during the debates? Joe Biden said Obama-Biden was FOR coal.

It is great that Palin is hammering him just like they did on offshore drilling, because Obama's plans affect everyone. Everyone's electricity and petrol bills will cost more under Obama

So unless you live in a hut and dont have a car like his brother in Africa, Obama will be taking more money out of your pocket. McCain will save you money.

Every one of those industries you mentioned is unionized. The union heads are supporting zerO over the card check, envisioning piles of dues money coming in from.................who? All those union workers will be without jobs, not just laid off, but jobless as their industries contract and plants/mines/hospitals are forced to close or go to 3rd world levels of operation. How will they pay any union dues without a paycheck? The government can’t force anyone to keep the doors open.

I have been trying to remember what everyone *knows*: that “economies are constructed “from the bottom up”. I cannot recall when this was. It certainly won’t be now or in the future, as those on the *bottom*, the real workers, will have no place to work.

These fools think *the government* will actually send them checks. One $500 check/per non-taxpayer will cover a few months of residential electricity, if folks conserve. It does nothing to provide energy for industry or business.

Don’t know why or how the tape surfaced, but reading the January 7 San Francisco Chronicle there is no mention of the “Death to Coal” Comment. Kinda looks like the Chron spiked those ideas to squelch knowledge of the Messiah!

Less than 2 months in the winter here in Memphis, for a 3,800 sq ft house. Ditto for the very hot summer months. You die from heat stroke or freeze to death under obambi.

CNN failed to include that one saying that he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry.

They did not explain that while the tape had been available for months, the included Chronicle news story about the interview did not include the information about bankrupting the coal industry. The printed story did not give anyone a reason to listen to the tape.

CNN is in the tank for Obama.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Obama will increase your Electricity Bill, by increasing emission fines on the Coal Industry until it is “bankrupt”
Obama will make you pay more for your Petrol, by not allowing more Offshore Drilling

And who can forget these other oldie but goodies?

• Obama will not let you drive an SUV
• Obama will determine how many calories you can eat
• Obama will determine the temperature you set your thermostat

I read the comments with the story and they are frightening. I find it hard to believe so many people can be so completely stupid.
