Palin Unleashes New Attack Against Obama On Coal
(CBS)
(MARIETTA, OHIO) - Seizing on a newly released audio tape picked up by the Drudge Report, Sarah Palin took the opportunity here in coal country to accuse Barack Obama of “talking about bankrupting the coal industry.”
“He said that, sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry, and he's comfortable letting that happen,” Palin said. “And you got to listen to the tape.”
The audiotape Palin was referring to was recorded by the San Francisco Chronicle in a Jan. 17 interview.
“Why is the audiotape just now surfacing?” Palin asked, leading someone in the crowd to shout, “Liberal media!”
“This interview was given to San Francisco folks many, many months ago,” Palin said. “You should have known about this, so that you would have better decision-making information as you go into the voting booth.”
In the audiotape, Obama reiterated his call for a cap and trade system on carbon and greenhouse gases.
“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can,” Obama said. “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.”
An Obama spokesperson said that Obama’s remarks were taken out of context and pointed out that in another part of the interview, Obama said that the idea of eliminating coal plants was “an illusion.”
“The point Obama is making is that we need to transition from coal burning power plants built with old technology to plants built with advanced technologies--and that is exactly the action that will be incentivized under a cap and trade program,” the spokesperson said. “We know that additional work is necessary to develop and deploy these technologies. That is why Obama has argued for a robust funding program for carbon capture and sequestration. It’s strikingly similar to what McCain has said (in fact McCain goes a step further saying he wants to transition completely away from coal).”

See all 489 CommentsI do believe the great people of Pennsylvania see through Palin''s big black hole of distortions and deceptions. The very people who killed our beloved late President John F. Kennedy who was Catholic, were white supremists who McCain and Palin support and have as supporters.
Palin and McCain are grasping at anything that will ignite. She needs to go back to Alaska and clean up her oil messes and her unethical mistakes. Retire McCain and send him back to his retirement home in Arizona, and send Palin packing back to Alaska where she may soon face impeachment proceedings.
Be smart, wise, and knowledgeable. Elect Obama.Biden with Clinton for change 2008.
"Let me sort of describe my overall policy.
What I''ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else''s out there.
I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.
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."

Actually thats not true, I already felt that way but the prank call just solidified for me that this woman is beyond a disgrace and the kindest thing to do is ignore her.

If he gets elected, all kinds of crapp about him will finally be let out by the Media that does everything to protect and promote him.
Also, if Obama gets elected, just watch how suddenly in November, how many stories you''ll hear from the media that the economy is better than we thought it was, and how it''s really improving.
It''s exactly what happened in November 1992 after Clinton/Algore got elected.
Its like feeding time in a Pig Pen.
And you get a look at how %u201CCHANGE %u201C works !
Its time pigs get slaughtered!
REPEAL %u201CCHANGE %u201C in 08

The damage control spinmeisters aren''t offering an explanation either.
Obama only said that someone has to discover a way to burn coal without emitting carbon or coal companies will go bankrupt paying fines. I take it that this predicament applies to existing coal plants, not just new ventures.
Methinks Barry is busted. Let''s see how he squirms out of this tight spot. (Answer: With the help of MSM, as usual). What is it about SF, Barry?
Just listen to OB''s own words. The tape doesn''t lie. Oh yeah, "My mind is made up, don''t confuse me with facts".

Scary aint it.......
John McCain is no George Bush but if they want to compare I will take four more years of Bush over four more years of Jimmy Carter
Anyways listen to the audio yourself and make up your own mind.

Well, no more! Sen. McCain: I am now supporting you sir.
What I have recently read about Obama shocks me!
http://www.obamaunveiled.com
Only George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) The DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) American''s were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...
But American''s wanted ''CHANGE''! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress &
yes--we got ''CHANGE'' all right.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon &climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~ $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS? EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO BRING DOWN THE ECONOMY AND WEAKEN AMERICA IN IRAQ%u2026ALL TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES IN THE 2008 ELECTION.
---in 1993 the Democrats tried to introduce a bill to get you to pay imputed income say your mortgage is $600. If your home could rent for $1300 a month, you have AN ADVANTAGE OVER a renter. Imputed income on the difference of $1300 and $600 means you would have to pay tax on $700 a month on IMPUTED INCOME you do NOT EVEN RECEIVE. Currently you can deduct your mortgage from your taxable income .. Point is you now have $15600 more TAXABLE INCOME.
Taxation without representation, and a TWENTY % Corruption tax on every good or service sold.
When Barack Obama consorts with Comrades Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and brings the Chicago system to Washington as Lenin brought it Russia, your going to get to know intimately our brand of One Party Politics....
Day after day the hits just keep coming.
Media Suppression and out right Lies, anything to elect The Messiah.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
CHANGE IS COMING AND NOT THE KIND YOU WANT!
He was schooled, personally, by men ALL with extreme left, if not COMMUNISTIC, leanings. "Leanings" is too kind refering to these people. One is a known bomber, one is an Arab extremist, one is a Marxist, one is a black Senator of Chicago politics, one is a "black theology" preacher etc., etc.
No one this guy, Obama, has known for more than 5 years is a NORMAL PERSON. Theu are ALL "out there" are far where the as American political mainstream resides.
All the articles you and I have ever read will never make up for electing a DISASTEROUS president in two days.
Neither McCain or Obama are my pick, really, it is again a pick to keep the worst person from winning. I''ll vote for McCain because after watching political parties and politicians for 45 years, I have plenty of experience with the Democratic Party. I was a Democrat for 14 years of voting age before they changed me to voting Republican. Of the two parties, the Democrats can be trusted LEAST.
Obama can be trusted even less than Democrats can normally be trusted...which is not at all.
Democrats got us into this mess with the environmental lobby. We are dedendent on foreign oil because of DEMOCRATS!
Democrats won''t allow nuclear power plants to be built any faster than they have been, which ONE NEW ONE every 10 years or so.
Keep those Obama signs up in front of your house for 4 years, will ya? (wink, wink)
Please don''t plan on voting for McCain - he supports the same Cap & Trade plan on carbon emissions that Obama does. Dirty coal burning plants would have to buy more carbon credits than clean coal burning plants would. As the credits got more expensive over time, the out-moded energy providers (not the coal industry)would come under financial pressure. The coal industry could sell more than they do today, particluarly if they help energy providers develop carbon sequestration technology. You should know this (if you are in the coal industry - unless all you do is sell Kingsford Charcoal).
Fannie and Freddie did this by becoming a key enabler of the mortgage crisis. They fueled Wall Street''s efforts to securitize subprime loans by becoming the primary customer of all AAA-rated subprime-mortgage pools. In addition, they held an enormous portfolio of mortgages themselves.
Well can you imagine if we were able to fix it four years ago. Take a look at the video and watch the dumbocrats and the republicans discussing Fannie and Freddie and tell me who is right and who is wrong. The worst thing is I was down in Miami last weekend and I got to listen to Air America and the liberals are talking about once Obama gets in office they are going to start the same garbage that got us in this mess.
Either way take a look at the dumbos and the republicans in their own words and make up your own mind.

Out of 95 TV ads on BarackObama.com How many do you think show African Americans who are not members of the Obama family? How many actually have black people who are allowed to talk? if you guessed 15-20? You would be way high. Even if you guessed 5-10 you would still be way off.
The answer is ONE! Yes I am not lying here. ONLY ONE Obama ad has non family members who are also black in them. In only ONE commercial does the Obama campaign allow an African American talk who is not a member of his family!.
In 84 of the commercials it seems as if Obama wants to make sure that white America does not see adult black middle class workers receiving benefit from his presidency.
Now in contrast there are 10 Spanish commercials that reach out to the Hispanic community! Obama ran commercials in support of the Hispanic community 5,000+!
The ONE commercial ran by Obama in support for the African American population was ran under 800 times!
Yet I see all the black entertainers rallying around this guy! WHY? He does not support them!
Obama does not want to help the plight of blacks. Obama wants to get the nod of approval from the socialist who have inspired him!
I outline this in a youtube video check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSO5gxmKl30

Will McCain will be allowed to be renamed "Bush" by one campaign if the media gave the number of major issues he had differed with Bush and whole context of his voting records, especially on major issues like ethanol, farm subsidy, etc?
