Imagine Wednesday Morning, Pt II

Is it Barack Hussein Obama's intent to tank this nation in terms of energy? Force us to our knees, weaken our economy even further? Politicians have done enough; he wants to do more with his "change."

From NewsBusters:

Imagine if John McCain had whispered somewhere that he was willing to bankrupt a major industry? Would this declaration not immediately be front page news? Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview. The result? Nothing. This audio interview has been hidden from the public...until now. Here is the transcript of Obama's statement about bankrupting the coal industry:

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.

UPDATE: NewsBusters' Tom Blumer has found out that the San Francisco Chronicle story published on January 18 based upon this January 17 interview did not include any mention of Obama's willingness to bankrupt the coal industry which you can hear on the audio. You can read the story here when you scroll down to the "In His Own Words" section. Way to cover up for The One, SF Chronicle!

Imagine that! A Leftist media outlet deciding to selectively print what the Obamessiah says.

In addition, Hollywood fears the worst:

Barely a left-wing pundit, barely an Oscar-nominated softie can sleep a wink these days for fear of the race riots and international humiliation that will ensue should "The One" be defeated on Tuesday.

"If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me," she (Erica Jong) told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera last week. "My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium.

"Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can't cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduced her to a bundle of nerves."

Susan Sarandon said: "It's a critical time, but I have faith in the American people," she told Britain's Telegraph newspaper with a touch of implied menace in June this year. "If they prove me wrong, I'll be checking out a move to Italy. Maybe Canada, I don't know. We're at an abyss …"

John Boehner (House Minority Leader), in stumping for McCain, pointed out a very salient aspect of Barack Hussein Obama's tendency. America, here's your potential Leader:

Now, listen, I've voted 'present' two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn't feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright? Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chicken shit. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."

Obama voted "present" 129 times, 3 percent of the roughly 4,000 times he voted during his 8 years in the Illinois legislature, according to factcheck.org.

Some said that Boehner's charges were legitimate and illustrated potential issues with an Obama presidency.

"Obama consistently took a pass on making tough decisions and that's just not something you can do as president," said Don Seymour, director of communications for The Freedom project, a right wing political action committee.

It won't be a blowout, it won't be pretty and the ramifications will be dire and possibly bordering on disastrous; but trust me: Wednesday morning, when the dust settles, a good portion of the nation will be in shock. And it won't be what most everyone was predicting.

STAY IN THE FIGHT. KEEP THE FAITH.
