November 2, 2008UPDATE: Sarah is on it.
Shocking new audio of a January 2008 San Francisco Chronicle interview with Presidential candidate Barack Obama has surfaced in which Obama promises to intentionally bankrupt the coal industry.
What is it about San Francisco that forces Obama to let loose with his actual opinions? Remember, San Francisco is also where he assailed our region as being mostly bitter gun and bible clingers with antipathy toward those who are not like us. Is there some kind of truth serum in San Francisco water and, if so, why is Nancy Pelosi immune?
Newsbusters provides the transcript to the audio clip, which was located by Naked Emperor News. Naked Emperor News has been doing the work the corrupt media has refused to do.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-let (ed. ok - that was added by me) 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.
That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.
The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

Sometimes, the truth breaks out when you least expect it. An Obama campaign office in Nevada.
This must be far Northeast Philadelphia. Note the Manion signs in the window. Manion’s future Congressional district only includes a tiny sliver of Philadelphia.
Eagle-eyed Alex from PA Watercooler found this little gem: Representatives of Obama’s vote fraud and bank intimidation group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) protesting outside a Philadelphia McCain office.
Remember, Obama told ACORN that they’d be helping to shape his agenda before he was even sworn in.
Video of the folks we may be days away from granting power to in this nation below. Personally, my guess is a mountain of cheeseburgers has a lot more to fear from this overstuffed loudmouth than John McCain does.

Obama’s been lying again.
He loves to say he’ll give a tax cut to anyone making under $250,000 a year. Then that became $200,000 a year. Joe Biden called it at $150,000 a year. And Bill Richardson said Obama will give tax cuts focused on people making under $120,000 a year.
But in a debate with Hillary Clinton just over a year ago, Obama fixed the definition of “upper class” (i.e. above middle class) at $97,000 a year and pilloried Hillary for wanting to protect the wages of people making that amount. You’ve got to spread their wealth around, too.
Maybe that’s the change we’re supposed to believe in?

Leftists went all giddy this week when former Bush 41 Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger appeared to say that Governor Sarah Palin would not be ready to become President on day one if elected to the Vice Presidency.
Yesterday, Eagleburger apologized for and clarified his remarks. The gist of the apology: Palin would not be a foreign policy expert on day one, but she has tons of executive and domestic policy experience and the alternative is electing Obama who has done absolutely nothing of note and is unqualified at any level.
Apology accepted.
Side note, would anyone have cared what Eagleburger thought of Obama had his initial comments not been about Palin? Net win. His Palin comments amplified his harsh Obama comments.

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania has released a new ad slamming Barack Obama for sitting in a church 20 years worshiping at the foot of the anti-American racist pastor Jeremiah Wright.

Boy is this staring to sound like a “third rate burglary” for the 21st Century. It seems that higher-ups in Ohio government were ordering their employees to run searches for government records on Joe the Plumber for political reasons under false pretenses. Then they told them to lie about it in writing. Imagine that out of Democrats. Usually they’re so ethical.

Barack Obama’s Kenyan aunt, found living in a Boston slum by the British Press despite her nephew’s assertions that he believes in being his “brother’s keeper” and “spreading the wealth around,” is an illegal alien living off of public assistance.
The aunt, Zeituni Onyango, stayed in the country illegally after a judge denied her request for asylum in 2004, and lives in a public housing project despite such living arrangements not being available to illegal aliens. Onyango spread a little wealth around to Obama’s campaign, donating $260 to the nephew who spoke lovingly of her in his book but seems unfased by her poverty and unmoved to help her.
Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official.
The AP release was timestamped 11:37 PM Eastern. 23 minutes left in October. Surprise!
Onyango’s case—coming to light just days before the presidential election—led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.
The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango’s case coming to light so close to the election.
When interviewed by the British Press, Onyango indicated she’d been muzzled by the Obama campaign until after the election.
Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”
Whether she’d been hushed-up because Obama knew of her immigration status or because she may know something about his upbringing he’d rather not see come to light is unclear.
Democrat Congressman Jack “Haditha Smear” Murtha says western Pennsylvania residents are “racists” and “rednecks.” Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner objects. Objects to ending the area characterized as “racist” at the Pennsylvania border, that is.
Not to be outdone by her neighbor to the east, Brunner wants you to know that southeastern Ohio citizens are every bit as racist as western Pennsylvanians. They are, as Brunner puts it, not “quite as progressive about acceptance of diversity.”

When Barack Obama started talking about cutting taxes for the middle class, he targeted those making under $300,000 a year. After winning the Democrat nomination, the middle class cutoff became $250,000. In his infomercial, he said that people earning under $200,000 a year could look forward to a tax cut. Joe Biden pegged the middle class threshold at $150,000 earlier this week. This morning, the definition of middle class got downgraded again by an Obama surrogate. According to Bill Richardson, it’s now $120,000.
The RNC is on to Obama’s shell game.
“At this rate, it won’t take long until Obama is again raising taxes on Americans making as little as $42,000 a year.”
“When Barack Obama comes to your door this Halloween, there will be no treats — just taxes,” the e-mail said.
Richardson audio below.
