“I looked up “coal-producing states” last night, and found the top ten (of 27) states have 135 electoral votes.”

Why do yoou think, for the last 2 months he and Biden have been claiming to support clean coal? Was he lying then (in January when he gave that interview) or is he lying now? Either way you look at it the man is a liar.

“How many seniors on fixed incomes will have to chose between food and electricity?”

How many seniors on fixed incomes will DIE because they can’t afford to heat their homes? There are already a few every winter – how many more will there be under the Obama plan?

Micheal Steele said on FOX last night, “Wake up America and pull the Kool-aid IV out of your arm. He is telling you in his own words what he wants to do.”

Barrack not only wants to spread Joe the Plumbers wealth around, he wants to spread America’s wealth around. He will tax Americans “carbon credit” and send that wealth to third world countries. Buying there carbon credits.

This will not help those countries any more than Lyndon Johnson’s welfare plan ended poverty in the U.S.

It is not just coal producing states. Coal produces over half of our nation’s electricity. If you factor that into the equation, he is talking about bankrupting probably about 1/3 of the entire economy.

Lets not forget about the laws of unintended consequences.

Worst of all, the people who will be the most crushed by these prices are the very ones Obama purports to care about. That's the beauty of the plan. If lower income folks can't afford energy costs(or anything associated with them: food, transportation, etc) they'll have to rely on government handouts in order to survive. More government dependent citizens, more compliant, locked in voters. It's win/win!

I would be surprised if Obama could pull this off. It would require the cooperation of Dem senators from coal producing states. As malleable as Obama has appeared in the past, I suspect said dem senators would march into his office and read him the riot act, and he would back down.

King Coal…

Once it was a crime to offend the king — lese majeste. While we don’t imprison, fine, or execute anyone for it these days, it can still cost you in other ways. In Barack Obama’s case, offending King Coal may……
