#1 Because, unlike Sharia oil, coal is bad for the environment.

#2 Does that mean he's given up on Pennsylvania after all?

#3 Why in hell are the Republicans NOT running this in PA, West Virginia and Ohio?

Colorado too (produces coal).

#4 Thanks Dear Leader. What he means to do is triple the price of electricity production for the Average American. Then use the massive can and trade taxes to subsidize his favored people.

Americans can freeze in the dark just like in North Korea, but the Party supporters will have heat and light. How about confiscating the farmers' productivity too?

#5 People, our coal plant generates power that we sell for about $40 a megawatt. That includes the cost of the building, boiler, turbine, fuel, and salaries. Not to mention assorted other costs that are included but the $40/MW is fairly constistant.

Natural gas plants which we have 4 of in our system, the FUEL COSTS ALONE AVERAGE! $90/MW!

Wake up people, we should remember to pray for America that this joker is not elected.

#6 My neighbor heats with wood, and his splitter uses gasoline! He oftentimes uses kerosene lamps. Is there a number I can call... TO REPORT HIM to the Civilian National Security Force?

#7 What Obama is talking about is a gross violation of the 4th amendment, government takings without due process.

#8 Like I said yesterday, this is just a social experiment to see how much crap you can throw at the liberal democrats and still have them bow down before you.

Just like 3rd Rock, when Sally wanted to see how far she push men and still have them come back for more.

They them them they will raise their taxes, create a civilian security force, they use government officials to investigate private citizens and silence opposition, they want to lose the war we already won, they want to spread the wealth around when they live in huge estates, they you to drive a prius while they fly in private jets. Bow down, fools, bow down.

#9 While I hope Betty is right, I think you have to take them at their word when it comes to their far-left lunacy.

Bad - they don't need to take outright. As our nation's founders well knew, "the power to tax is the power to destroy." The tranzies are set to take total control of the U.S. government. I'm not sure that we'll ever recover from the destruction they're going to unleash after zero takes the oath.

#10 PBMcl - Actually, I think your assesment is far more accurate. But you have to wonder sometimes. They keep scheduling their global warming events for the coldest dates on record. And the trend is actually cooling rather than warming. Yet still their minions rise up and say sieg heil! Obama stands for everything they are against and yet like this headline, the dem's keep piling on more. It's like they want to see how far they can get these people to humiliate themselves.

#11 There go the remaining jobs in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee.

#14 If 47% of our country WANTS to elect this a-hole as president we're already fucked people. If they really want this kind of a future for our country we really have lost, even if McCain win the election by a sliver of a percent.

#15 It's a multi-stage campaign, bigjim. First win the election. Then begin opening eyes and cleaning up schools.
