It’s been on the front page big (with a picture) on Fox News online all morning.
before the day is out alot of people will hear about this.
I am sure they are talking about it on Fox news TV.
My bank plays Fox news with closed captioning in the lobby.
at least one of our local grocery stores plays Fox news inside the store over by the atm/bank area.

That video needs to be chopped down. I found it almost impossible to listen to him ramble for 2 minutes before he finally gets around to it. Plus, the first part makes it sound like he begrudgingly accepts coal for now. Then he gets harsher later into it.

The good part of this video is at the 2:20 minute mark.

Send it to your local news stations.

Two stories on this are linked on Drudge now at the top left. They were there yesterday, too, but he has changed them from red to black type.

I do wish he’d give it a picture and a headline. And give more emphasis to Obama’s boast that he would BANKRUPT the coal companies and power plants.

If this is real (the video quality is crap).

It might be fake because the HC forums has deleted the thread. Opps.

Looks like they pulled it from the HillaryClinton Website.

I don't think it is fake although the Chronicle is complaining ...see this:

Up in Smoke? Will Obama's Remarks Prove Costly in Coal Country?

****************************EXCERPT from article*****************************

Obama made his now controversial comments in a taped interview with the San Francisco Chronicle during January, but the statements did not become public until yesterday. Obama pledged to levy taxes and fines on greenhouse gas emissions that would force coal burning plants to go out of business. The exact
quote attributed to Obama is as follows:

“If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for al lthat greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”
