Hear his words for yourself , he promised to bankrupt the coal industry. You are already paying for his forbidding of any new drilling for oil. (this will change when he runs for a second term, but it will just be symbolic)
This is what you get when you put a foolish community organizer with no real world skills in the whitehouse. If we are stupid enough to vote for him again we deserve what we are getting now. If you voted in 2008 to prove you werent a racist, vote in 2012 to prove you are not stupid

wildbill of AZ, jason of ME and Ms.M of CA doesn't like it when some people speak the truth! You racists need to deal with what you are!
Who cares if you breathe in polluted air? So what if you get cancer of the lungs? Or black lung disease, besides you've probably never liked the color of your lungs in the first place. So what the drinking water is polluted; what's a little bit of heavy metal or mercury going to do to you? Afterall its all organic; you've probably always wanted to see your liver bloat up to twice its original size. My stock dividends are going to be .10 less then normal now. That's what you deserve for demonizing Obama for preventing from happening!

If you are a voter in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, Indiana or anywhere in the US, pay close attention. People clinging to guns and religion was not the only elitist remark Obama made in San Francisco.
On January 17, 2008, in a San Francisco interview, in another remark
taylored to his elitist followers, Obama stated he would bankrupt the
coal industry. This time, his remarks are not just insulting, they will
lead to more energy dependence and job losses. Once again, in Obama’s own words, he proves how dangerous he would be for the country.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.
Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.
And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.
Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.

'uneducated racist' just happened to have all this data at his finger tips? And, then name calls anyone who disagrees with him? Hmmmm Can you say Obama Re-election employee whose sole job is to respond to emails negative to the administration and render them neutral to save the presidency in 2012?
You can't win it because we know HE DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT US.

Hey Tommy Boy of FL, You have shown just how ignorant you and the rest of the thugocracy left is. You do not have a clue about reality. Your "Human Caused Global Warming" is a scam by carbon credit traders. All the work to prove this idiotic theory was a scam, "scientists" who pencil-whipped the data to match their pre-selected outcomes. No data from Northern Europe and Asia because it is just too cold in Russia to get an outcome of global warming. Temperatures in the equatorial regions of the world were numerous. In developed areas, readings were taken over asphalt parking lots.
I have questions for you. How come the Ice Ages ended? Why are the same people who are pushing for "human caused global warming" the same people who in the 1970's were saying that humans were causing a "new Ice Age"? Why do all you leftist idiots make everything about race? Did you know a document changing the name "Barak Mounir Ubayd" to "Barack Hussein Obama" was filed on October 14th, 1982 in Skookumchuck, British Columbia? Are you as stupid as your writing shows? Where did you copy and paste your "facts", maybe Al Gore's site, the same Al Gore who had already put together a trading exchange and now will lose Billion$$$$$? Do you know who owns the Chicago Carbon Trade Exchange? Man, you missed the release of the "scientists" emails outlining how they were going to prove global warming was caused by humans, didn't you? Why do you lefties hate everyone who doesn't agree with you? Would you put all of us "racists" in "work camps" the way Hitler and Eichmann did to the Jews? Y'all call yourself "liberals", yet y'all are the most intractable folks in the world. I'm sure you would love to have a Stalinist State, then you could kill everyone who disagreed with your point of view. I have only one more question for you. Where were you indoctrinated?

Tommy Boy of FL, thanks for exposing how racist you people are!
If you have never lived around a coal mine, you should try it sometime, the water tastes great, and if you havent tried black lung disease yet, you dont know what your missing?
Burning coal is a leading cause of smog, acid rain, global warming, and air toxics. In an average year, a typical coal plant generates:
3,700,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary human cause of global warming--as much carbon dioxide as cutting down 161 million trees.
10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which causes acid rain that damages forests, lakes, and buildings, and forms small airborne particles that can penetrate deep into lungs.
500 tons of small airborne particles, which can cause chronic bronchitis, aggravated asthma, and premature death, as well as haze obstructing visibility.
10,200 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx), as much as would be emitted by half a million late-model cars. NOx leads to formation of ozone (smog) which inflames the lungs, burning through lung tissue making people more susceptible to respiratory illness.
720 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), which causes headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease.
220 tons of hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOC), which form ozone.
170 pounds of mercury, where just 1/70th of a teaspoon deposited on a 25-acre lake can make the fish unsafe to eat.
225 pounds of arsenic, which will cause cancer in one out of 100 people who drink water containing 50 parts per billion.
114 pounds of lead, 4 pounds of cadmium, other toxic heavy metals, and trace amounts of uranium.
Anyone who claims Obama is the enemy is proving to be a disgusting excuse for an human being, not to mention completly racist scumbags!

DrDenan of CA: Obama IS Evil. There is no way to describe his actions against 300 million Americans and the constitution otherwise. Costs are rising not because of the environment, as you contend, but because of
1) the draconian continuous bailouts which emptied the U.S. Treasury into the hands of the Zionist banks (the rich get richer).
2) Bailouts to every foreign country imaginable
3) the Zionist Federal Reserve continuing to print money hand over fist, compounding the debt by using it to buy Treasuries for the past year at least. (Can you say QE1, QE2, QE3?)
4) Allowing the Corps of Engineers to blow 3 levees in Illinois deliberately flooding all the farmland along the Mississippi. It was KNOWN IN ADVANCE BY OBAMA & stooges that this would cause American food shortages.
The flooding also softened the ground for a Rockefeller-threatened New Madrid earthquake using Alaska's HAARP.
Make no mistake, all this malaise of our country was PRE-PLANNED by the Rockefellers/Rothschilds, Obama, Clintons/Bushes, AIPAC, most of Congress, and all the dual-citizen Israelis spread in top positions in all the U.S. government agencies. They and the Pentagon want perpetual war; that's why Lieberman/McCain is on every TV channel advocating attacking sovereign countries like Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen (the PNAC plan for world domination was 7 countries in 5 years).
