I see energy costs being passed down to consumers.

I hope they vote their pocketbooks!

Closing line: All in all, Obama is still likely to win....”
No bias there.

Tell ya what folks, this is the perfect and I mean perfect cover for those asswipes over at Gallup and other polling companies to point to and say, well, our numbers were correct and we stand by them...and...then...this happened. That’s our story and we’re stickin to it. Ya’ll just watch. This is a gift with a bow for Gallup and those other idiots who are in the tank for the big 0.

Yeah, they will vote for their $500 handout check from Zero. Then they will have to pay $1500 more per year for their utilities.

The welfare cases won’t be able to afford it, so they’ll stop paying their bills. The power companies will threaten to cut off their lights and heat. The problem will be publicized as a nationwide epidemic. Then Obama will enjoin companies from cutting off non-payers but executive order. The companies financial situation will deteriorate because no one pays. Then on the verge of bankruptcy, the government steps in to take ownership as part of a bailout. Now the government owns the power company.

As the economy collapses, government takes more and more control of industry. Then rationing ensues and we find ourselves in the new Soviet Union.

It should resonate beyond just the coal producing states. This would cause big electricity rate increases across the country.

Obama = higher energy prices across the board.

You’ll need that $500 welfare check and then some to pay for gasoline and electricity.

CNN Defends Obama

Not possible. CNN is an objective news source with absolutely no desire to see either candidate win this election.

BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

It's not only their pocketbooks they should be voting!

What 0bambi is preparing is nothing short of nationalization of the entire energy-related industry in the US, worth trillions. This would solidify an iron grip on the US economy and government, such that through the kind of graft and corruption to which he's already shown he's inclined (Rezko, CAC, unlimited foreign campaign donations, etc.), he could within a few short years buy himself the status of Castro, Lenin, Hitler, and Chavez.

That’s so true but too many people won’t listen long enough to get that, or even understand it, but they WILL know when they’re getting hit in the pocketbook.

CNN knows this, of course, yet decided to downplay the significance of Obama’s remarks, thereby proving once again that they have been promised a government BAILOUT once Obama “wins”.
