Why isn't there a story on this?
"If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it's just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," Barack Obama said to the San Francisco Chronicle in January 2008. You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know -- Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it -- whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers. Electric costs will skyrocket."
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.
Evita had her "descamisados"; Obama has his taxpayer funded community organizers ACORN.
Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Peron, Castro, and Chaves all gathered crowds begging to hear about the coming "change" from their deliverers. They were all charismatic speakers that attempted to work from the bottom up, what they achieved were cultures that are/were poor, starving and uneducated.
But on to ACORN -A Pennsylvania ACORN employee testified yesterday that the community group knew that most new voter registration forms it had gathered were fraudulent. Moncrief also testified that, in November 2007, she was given a massive database of Barack Obama donors who had already reached the maximum that they are allowed to give to the Democratic presidential nominee. Her task was to cull it for potential donors who, though prohibited from giving any more to Obama, could give to ACORN. Moncrief also testified about an effort she called "muscle for the money" in which ACORN would, for a price, organize protests against corporations on behalf of clients such as unions.

As a Democrat voting for McCain I am living in a "reality-based world" others are voting for a change they can not see, a hope they can not touch and a candidate that is based on their own vivid imaginative desires."
jfnance32, Even the Obama campaign doses not agree with your assessment.
Obama's senior advisors have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency, amid concerns that his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what Obama can achieve. An advisor told the Times the first few weeks of the transition, immediately after the election were critical, "so there's not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair."

I was a D now I have become an R.
Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Peron and the "descamisados", Castro, Chaves the list is endless. They were all charismatic speakers that attempted to work from the bottom up, what they achieved were cultures that are/were poor, starving and uneducated.
Barack Obama says the constitution "didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties." "Says what the states can't do to you, says what the Federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf." http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/obama...
Negative liberties?? And all this time I thought the purpose of the Constitution was to limit government control on our lives.

There are many in my community who are manufacturing reasons and manipulating facts to justify their vote for Obama simply because he is Black like us. From my vantage point --
Obama is a remarkable speaker. Obama says, he'll win the war on terrorism, "restore" our reputation in Europe, send everyone's kids to college, tax the rich and give to the "middle class", institute universal health-care and create lots of new jobs. Lofty aspirations make for appealing speeches. It would be very easy for me to drink the Obama 'Kool-Aid. My problem is... I just do not believe him.
What I do believe is that past behavior predicts future behavior.
There is nothing in Obama's past to suggest that he is, in any arena, on my side. I do not believe that Obama has a sound strategy to end Islamic terrorism. I do believe that his political hindsight is a sharp and focused 20/20.
I do not believe that Obama will lower my taxes, help my grandchildren go to college, aid my or any of my families careers or provide my family with comprehensive affordable health-care.
I do not think you can "restore" respect when quite honestly, it never existed from Europe in the first place.
I do believe Obama will raise my taxes to fund entitlement programs for people who refuse to be accountable. I do believe that Obama's past associations serve as windows shedding light on his core values, beliefs and judgments. I do believe that people tend to associate with others who share their values and beliefs.
I do believe Obama will appoint Supreme Court Justices that would be too far to the left.
I agree with Joe Biden's assessment "Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. " As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's gonna happen. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate."
So while he isn't the best candidate that could be running and he isn't Black, McCain is "the one".
