Fact: Obama will increase your Electricity Bill, by increasing emission fines on Coal companies until they go "bankrupt".

In reporting the speech by Gov. 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 of Obama’s quote was no big deal. But this is a misleading claim.
As we know from P.J. Gladnick’s NewsBusters report, Obama admitted that his intention for new coal plants was to slap so many fees, regulations and taxes on any new venture that it would “bankrupt” the company that tries it.

Unfortunately, the article does not go far enough. Obama has virtually said the same thing about Nuclear Energy by his statements he was pro-Nuclear as long as there was a proven safe way to dispose of the Nuclear Waste”, which in his mind excludes Yucca Mountain and basically kills that industry within 5 years. Forget about the 40+ New Nukes that would significantly reduce our dependence on foreign oil from despotic America hating governments. He will kill both Coal and Nuclear. He wants only Solar and Wind. Of course, when it’s calm and it’s dark outside, neither will help much. His plan to build new hybrid cars that run on electricity is hampered by the fact that there isn’t enough Electrical production to support massive manufacturing of those types of vehicles either. Airlines, Trains and trucking, as well as automobiles, rely heavily on hydrocarbons, and Electrical Grids rely heavily on Nuclear and Coal. Shows where we’re headed if he wins. Let us Pray!
priceless.
A good ten years ago, a reporter quizzed journalism students as to what their job was: report "just the facts, ma'am" or "mould public opinion". To his dismay over half said it was the latter.
Fast forward the intervening years and I'll warrant it is closer to 90% now (there are still a few good ones left).
Obama has gone into the “hick” states where bitter yokels “cling to their guns and their religion” and flat out lied to them with high-flown phrases. . but, when he has gone into the more “sophisticated, elite” states, he has told them the truth about what he and the Democrats are going to do because they’re “citified” and already in agreement with him and 100% in his camp.
Our society is going to reach the breaking point. The results will not be pretty.
All the free medical care, free day care, free education, free food, etc will not make up for the fact that the society is crippled and at war with itself.
We will end up with no medical care, no energy, no transportation, no modern communication, no food, I could go on.
If these kooks are allowed to take over and have what they want, the USA as we know it is over.
