Good question. I had not heard of this until today. If SF Chronicle sat on this then someone should ask them that question. If it was available in the public domain all this time I cannot believe it was missed completely by ALL of the people looking for an issue to use against the Messiah. But, the evidence is what it is. He said it. He said under his admisnitration if you wanted to run a coal plant you would go bankrupt and he also said energy costs would “necessarily skyrocket”.
Probably because McCain’s in favor of cap and trade in some form as well. Though his specific reason isn’t to put coal plants out of business.
Howdey Combs, who has their hand up your back pulling the strings?
Obama is just stupid enough to buy into every hairbrained scheme the left can come up with. The man is not Presidential Timber.
Do you know how much electricity data centers use? Obomber’s plan will shut down our country.
Gov. Palin used it today in her stump speech in Marietta, OH today...
So the first commercial that comes on after the segmant ends is for Zycam, to kill the RINO virus. LOL
Did anyone pick up Colmes’ “spin”? I know he went to the thing about “clean coal”, but that didn’t address the issue. And, as usual, he did his “McCain did it too!”.
But he also picked out another Obama quote that he used. What was it? It sounded intentionally misleading.
ROFLMAO! Thanks for getting the thread in compliance with the rules.
It’s Ali’s rope-a-dope strategy applied to politics. It’s an October surprise in early November. Maybe McCain waited too late, or just maybe focusing on the tape this late will deny Obama and his MSM enablers the time to blunt its effects. We will soon see.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, and West Virginia are all states with significant coal mining interests. Not to mention electric power generation in many places that would also be affected.
I've been on a pro-coal rant for years. And some folks finally woke up and figured out that half our electricity comes from coal? Wow!
What happened to the "Drill Drill Drill" energy holy grail?
Energy triad:
Coal
Nukes
Oil
Colmes was reading the Dem talking point response: “Both McCain and Obama support clean coal technology.”
Because Obama has said other positive things about coal elsewhere, that must mean this quote must be placed in context.
This context, however, is not about PUBLIC statements. This is a statement made privately to those who thought were supporters. In other words, they got insight into his real thoughts on the subject. I understood this to be the same time, roughly, as when he made the “bitter, clinging to gods and guns” comments.
Is that correct?
Sarah says “Drill Baby Drill” and ‘Mine Baby Mine”!
I was hoping for the strict constructionist interpretation of the rules!
What is needed is a quick turn around 527 sponsored ad about this...and air time quickly purchased regionally during Monday Night Football...the Steelers are playing at Washington...so all those coal miners, all those W. Pennsylvanians, West Virginians, and Ohioans who depend on coal for their livelihood (and power as most of our electricity here is coal generated) will be tuned in to watch the Stillerz...and need to be reminded of 0bama's view on coal
. The Rev. Wright Ad was on during the NFL games today...and this coal thing needs to be viral tomorrow during MNF...
There is another H/C live thread as well...honest I am not being the thread police...I just wanted to post this on every 'coal thread.' I think this is an excellent idea...so hopefully it happens!
Obama is not a Presidential toothpick!
If I understand the two correctly, Obama wants to do it by bankrupting coal plants and using the government fines to fund research. McCain wants to use some government and some private funding to develop technology...not bankrupt the plants.

Coal holds the promise of providing new gaseous and liquid fuels we need to achieve energy independence. Sen. John McCain, the Republican candidate for president, understands that. He wants to provide federal help for new coal gasification and liquefaction plants. He also wants to use more coal - burned without harming the environment - for other purposes. That is just one reason we believe residents of our states should vote for McCain for president. McCain's opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, claims that he,... |

| 11/02/2008 5:42:14 PM PST · Posted by tobyhill · 37 replies · 2,635+ views kc star ^ | 11/2/2008 | Yael T. Abouhalkah Sarah Palin on Sunday punched the liberal media yet again. And this time it looks like she connected. Hopping on comments promoted by conservative blogs, Palin said the media are trying to hide Barack Obama's comments that his pollution proposal could bankrupt coal plants. The audio of the interview with the San Francisco Chronicle is here. The germane part of the interview: "So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. 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." |

One quarter of the world’s coal reserves are found within the United States, and the energy content of the nation’s coal resources exceeds that of all the world’s known recoverable oil. Coal is also the workhorse of the nation’s electric power industry, supplying more than half the electricity consumed by Americans. Coal-fired electric generating plants are the cornerstone of America's central power system. To preserve this economically-vital energy foundation, innovative, low-cost environmental compliance technologies and efficiency-boosting innovations are being developed by the Energy Department's Fossil... |

Sarah Palin in Ohio today, CNN’s Political Ticker tried to spin her question about Obama’s coal comment as old news when it clearly isn’t. Palin asked why we are just now finding out about the interview where Barack Obama said he had hoped to bankrupt the coal industry but CNN termed this interview and Obama’s startling admission as “months-old coal comments†in an attempt to soften the blow to Ohio and Pennsylvania voters. The Political Ticker said that since the San Francisco Chronicle had these comments on its website for nine months, the news... |
