OBAMA - CAUGHT IN HIS OWN WEB OF LIES ABOUT THE COAL INDUSTRY
washingtonpost.com, Newsbusters.org ^ | 11/02/2008

Posted on 11/02/2008 1:38:38 PM PST by sportsone234

[...]

What is criminal about this story is that voters in coal producing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia do not know how duplicitous Obama has been. These are Americans that will go into the voting booth and unknowingly vote for their own jobs to be eliminated because the MSM has failed to inform them of this.

[...] Now let me bring your attention to this story found on Washingtonpost.com written just before May primaries when Barry was running against Hillary Clinton.

Obama’s Coal Stance, in Kentucky and Beyond

Over the past two weeks, Obama’s campaign has run an ad in Kentucky depicting Obama as a strong friend of the coal industry, recounting his efforts on behalf of coal miners in southern Illinois and touting his success in securing $200 million in the federal budget last year for “clean coal” technologies.

This is one case that needed a week of TV ADS in certain areas.

Also it goes beyond coal. He basically approves of drastically raising EVERYONE’s energy bill.

Low - Mid income people wouldn’t like that at all.

It’s that pesky tingle. The Obamacorns can’t help themselves. They don’t care about their jobs. They just want to “be a part of history.” LOL!

I must be a racist clinging to my guns and religion but wouldn’t a more expensive energy bill really be a tax increase for everyone
while everyone does not pay taxes everyone does buy energy.

1.  "Obama said that under his proposal to cap greenhouse gases, energy suppliers would get incentives to develop technologies to reduce pollution and to use cleaner sources of power. 'So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can,' Obama said. 'It’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.'  Palin told supporters to listen to the audiotape. 'You’re going to hear Sen. Obama talk about bankrupting the coal industry,' she said...  The Alaska governor also pointed to comments that Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden made to an environmental activist, promising no more coal-fired power plants in America... 'In an Obama-Biden administration, there would be no use for coal at all, from Wyoming to Colorado, to West Virginia and Ohio,' Palin said." The Wall Street Journal Blog, Nick Timiraos, November 2, 2008.  I was SHOCKED to hear Barak's own words, NOT REPORTED IN THE MEDIA but caught on YouTube, where he admitted in San Franscisco that he was going to INTENTIONALLY BANKRUPTS THE COAL INDUSTRY IN AMERICA!  An industry that provide almost 50% of America's electrical power.  This is pure INSANITY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ.  

2.  THERE IS VIDEO OF OBAMA CAMPAIGNING, USING TAXPAYER MONEY, FOR HIS COMMUNIST COUSIN IN KENYA, RAILA ODINGA, WHO THEN ENGAGED IN MASS MURDER AND SLAUGHTER AFTER HE NARROWLY LOST THE ELECTION!  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1P_P8lBCsE   More information on Fox News reporting the truth:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvmmG7dQMLc&NR=1  This may be one of the most frightening admissions by Obama that the media isn't reporting, he wants a special "civilian national security" force in America, better funded and organized than our own military.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s  This should scare everyone in America.  This sounds like Fascism and totalitarianism.

3. Want something even scarier that the "main stream" outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC are covering up?  Obama ORIGINALLY RAN FOR STATE SENATOR IN ILLINOIS IN 1996 IN THE "NEW PARTY" WHICH WAS THE NAME FOR THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA...  Again ONLY reported on Fox News WITH DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE IT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ1jLxpfYCs.   The "Weatherman Underground," which Obama long-time friend and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers has a claim to fame, split from the "New Party" some time later.  Just Google, “Obama and New Party,” see for yourself.  And the Socialists favorite slogan?  "Change!"  See the scary list of terrorists and socialists that support "Obama's" platform for "change".   http://www.jeffhead.com/obamacircle.htm. Further, Fox News, the ONLY news program reporting anything at all about Obama did a 6 minute discussion with comments from Obama that talks about how he wants to turn America into a SOCIALIST NATION!  Again, see it for yourself on YouTube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzkXkY5wNmg.

4.  Obama wants to make the 12 - 20 million illegals in America citizens ASAP and then add health care.  He wants OUR TAXES AND JOBS TO PAY FOR IT ALL!  Obama's own AUNT IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN who has been ordered out of the country and LIVING ON WELFARE IN THE U.S.  However, Obama PRETENDS that he didn't know his own Aunt was living in the U.S. illegally???  http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/01/barack-obamas-kenyan-aunt-living-illegally-boston/ How much more of an economic disaster can he and his socialist democrat counterparts do?
5.  US Weekly, found out just HOW MUCH INFLUENCE JEREMIAH WRIGHT HAS HAD ON OBAMA!  They saw first hand his race-baiting, white hating rants and insanity for the first time.  They saw all of "Jeremiah Wright" and the "I Hate Amerca" side of Barak Hussein Obama come through that he has so completely lied to the public about and they have documented it.  Now, they have also loaded their magazine with a LOT more information that shows you just how completely perverse and sick the "main stream" media outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN have become in trying to hide the real man who presents the biggest risk to America and the world since the Civil War.  Read it for yourself on their front page.  http://www.usweekly.com/

6.  Google shows some very scary connections to Obama and what the "Main Stream" media is trying to hide.  What friends do you have?  Do you make friends and associations with people who hate what you believe in, and who regularly attack and try to undermine your family and everything you find important?  Of course not, the friends you have are the people that you at least have some kind of common ground with.  Even if you don't agree with them on everything.  Your friends, good or bad, are a reflection of who you are.  And Obama is no different.  How about taking a few minutes and doing a Google search for "Obama's Communist Friends"?  You might be shocked to find that it is well documented who Obama really is through his friends.  [FN3]

7. On Feb19, 2008, Chris Matthew of Hardball interviewed Obama supportor, Senator Kirk Watson, and asked twice,” Can you name one accomplishment of Sen. Obama in the US senate?” He could not name even one!  After being asked if he was considering running for President, his own wife said that "It's way too soon, he hasn't done anything yet!" (Caught on YouTube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyDqQW2adPk.  In the same interview, Obama admits that he has "served 8 years in complete obscurity," again on YouTube, and again admitting he has no experience...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1syR8iV3G0.  Less experience than GOVERNOR Palin (who is also Commander in Chief of the Alaskan National Guard).  Like it or not, America is the last standing "SuperPower" and with Obama's finger on the Nuclear trigger that is a scary, frightening thought.  

8.  Obama's own and only admitted experience is as an ACORN COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJurYbkuxTQ.  In other words, HE HAS BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE GROUP THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN TO BE REGULARLY COMMITTING VOTE FRAUD ACROSS THE COUNTRY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez6kKPcYbM0.  Not only that, NO ONE HAS DENIED THAT THE OBAMA CAMP HAS "DONATED" OVER $800,000 to a VOTE FRAUD ORGANIZATION! What did you NEVER hear reported by the Obama media?  The original "bailout" program by the Democrats in Congress was fought against by Republicans BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A PROVISION TO PROVIDE BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO ACORN!  THE VOTE FRAUD ORGANIZATION THAT DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SUPPORT!

9.  Obama was the second largest recipient of campaign contributions (and all of the top 3 were Democrats) for the mortgage finance companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that caused the financial mess.  And the DEMOCRATS blocked the financial reforms that the Republicans tried to get passed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs Funny how there has been a media BLACKOUT (except Fox News) on how the DEMOCRATS CAUSED THE MORTGAGE PROBLEM THAT DESTROYED HOME VALUES AND DESTROYED 401(K) retirement portfolios! [FN1]

10.  Democrats NEVER really cut taxes, even when they "spread the wealth around."  Clinton promised to cut middle class taxes in 1992, but that never happened and the media never questioned or challenged it.  Does anyone really believe that Democrats will ever really reduce taxes?  You can't really be that naive.  Even if Obama were telling the truth and had every intention of cutting taxes, the President can not write legislation and from a Democrat Congress that has ALREADY PROMISED TO RAISE TAXES what kind of bills do you think a President Obama would be given to sign?  Stop believing the lies.  That's all they are is lies, and why is it that everyone keeps forgetting that the political party that always "promises" to help is always the one looking to take everything they can. [FN2]  Forward this to 50 people to pass on to 50 people!

I called the McCain national headquarters earlier today and told them about this because sometimes I think they don’t know half the stuff we do. She said that they had gotten several calls already. It must have done something. They are listening!!

This is more than just a coal state issue. It is a railroad issue as well. The BNSF Railway www.bnsf.com/markets/coal/index.htm hauls sufficient coal to produce 10% of the USA’s electric power. Obama’s plan would devastate the railroads. Norfolk-Southern Railroad hauls a very significant amount of coal used in eastern steel plants and in export to other nations. www.nscorp.com
Union-Pacific Railroad, www.up.com/customers/energy , the nations’s largest by trackage, hauled 200 million tons of western coal last year alone.

Reducing coal useage would eliminate numerous good-paying railroad jobs, dockside jobs, trucking jobs, and the list tumbles forth. This is lookinig more and more like the plot line of Atlas Shrugged.

It just confirms for me that "The One" does not give a rat's rip about people outside his circle.

Some maps:

 

Bet a lot of people in those areas are really having Buyer's Remorse after using early voting to vote for the little fraudster.

As I posted on a similar thread on how his taxes would cause coal plants to go bankrupt:

Well, at least Obama admits that he understands the FACT that the power to tax is the power to destroy.

Remember when he told Joe the Plumber he didn’t want to “punish” him for his success?

No. He wants to DESTROY him.

Clearly, Obama has admitted, repeatedly, that he knows TAXES KILL. He intends to use TAXES to KILL the energy industry on the altar of Al Gore’s carbon credits.

Can you hear me now? Anyone?
