TWS' Michael Goldfarb at The Blog quotes a CBS News story:
The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent.Remember how the Obamunists beat up on Sarah Palin for her July op-ed on Cap and Trade in the Washington Post? She had written:A previously unreleased analysis prepared by the U.S. Department of Treasury says the total in new taxes would be between $100 billion to $200 billion a year. At the upper end of the administration's estimate, the cost per American household would be an extra $1,761 a year.
I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.So once again, Sarah Palin was right. Once again, she has been vindicated. That seems to be occuring with increased frequency since June, as we have noted here, here, here, here and here.[...]
There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive!
[...]
The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet. As the president eloquently puts it, their electricity bills will "necessarily skyrocket." So much for not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.
[...]
Can America produce more of its own energy through strategic investments that protect the environment, revive our economy and secure our nation?
Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama's energy cap-and-tax plan.

It was an easy call for Sarah, and others. It is all right out of the Communist Manifesto.
Our Sarah Palin
Was right on the Death Panels,
And is right here, too...
This is a very obvious thing to call don’t you think so?
Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
This can’t possibly be true, right??
I mean, after all, the Media convinced us that Sarah Palin is the DUMBEST WOMAN ON EARTH!
How could she have gotten this right!!
(Does not Compute, Does not Compute, must be ignored before Zero Cumulative Error.)
What I think, jveritas, is everytime the Palin-bashers are proven wrong, I’m going to rub their filthy noses in it. That’s what I think.

Palin Right....Obama Wrong....AGAIN!
What’s her record against him now, something like 20-0?
I’m waiting to hear when she’s going to be here in Iowa ;)
If she comes to Iowa, I’m right next door, and I’ll be there.
I just saw a teaser on Chris Matthews show as I was flipping, that Bush thought Palin would be a disaster for the Republican party. Has anyone read about this? Apparantly it’s coming out in some book by one of Bush’s speech writers.
Were you aware that the cap and trade or global warming tax was going is a massive tax bill before Palin said it?
Thanks, I missed that somehow. Another Scott McClellen.
It’s already been debunked. President Bush and Laura met Sarah before the nomination. The libs spin is nuked.
