"The Arrogance of Barack Obama

"Maybe the American people just didn't have quite enough time to get to know Barack Obama. It seems inconceivable to me that a candidate as arrogant as Obama could be ahead in the polls if the voters had fully absorbed how out of touch he can be. A case in point is this MTV interview, where Obama says that the tax increase he proposes on people who earn $250,000 or more is "chump change, that's nothing." But wait! If it's "chump change," how is it going to fund the hundreds of billions in new spending that Obama wants?

Likewise with Obama's casual declaration that he intends to bankrupt the coal industry, which currently supplies around one-half of all electricity produced in the United States. Today Mike Carey, President of the Ohio Coal Association, issued this statement:

Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America's coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it.

These undisputed, audio-taped remarks, which include comments from Senator Obama like 'I haven't been some coal booster' and 'if they want to build [coal plants], they can, but it will bankrupt them' are extraordinarily misguided.

It's evident that this campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio,Virginia, West Virginia,Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state's voters.

Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short-sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation's coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to 'bankrupt' our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices.

In addition to providing an affordable, reliable source of low-cost electricity, domestic coal holds the key to our nation's long-term energy security - a goal that cannot be overlooked during this time of international instability and economic uncertainty.

Few policy areas are more important to our economic future than energy issues. As voters head to the polls tomorrow, it is essential they remember that access to reliable, affordable, domestic energy supplies is essential to economic growth and stability.

Where will the "little people" get electricity if Obama's environmental policies destroy the coal industry? That, apparently, is of no concern to "The One." It would have been nice if this news had come out more than a couple of days before the election.  "

More like sad. His grandmother died today. You wonder what kind of people who don't respect that. Still smearing, even though the man's grandmother died. Most humans call timeout for a minute.
Lemme see ...... article posted on Powerline by John at 11:25 AM, so I guess it's me that committed the faux pas.

However you can't refute those words came tumbling out of Obama's mouth, he's going to bankrupt the coal industry.

Love the video age, denial doesn't work anymore, not even BS reframing "what I meant when I said it".
'Guess it's time to start pricing those solar panels ... and maybe hire some soon-to-be-former coal industry workers to install 'em. ;-)
With all due respect Janet - it didn't stop Obama from campaigning.
Thanks Em!

Can't refute issues .... make a snide remark .... straight out of the Democratic playbook. It's been published a long time, part of old communist tactics so we know the worn out drill.
Notice the key words "but it will bankrupt them."

It does not = I

Get your facts straight!!
Facts are straight Nbey ......... shows INTENT which will stand up in any court.

Powerlineblog posts are done by three conservative ATTORNEYS who are far more adept at dissecting verbiage and intent than most lay persons. Following that line of thinking they would NOT have attacked the video if it had not shown Obama's intent toward bankrupting that industry.

Get your facts straight ........ the coal industry sure did ..... and we will too when electricity costs increase exponentially when it happens.
