That's not all, as listed below, he wants to BANKRUPT the entire Coal Industry which will cause MASSIVE LAYOFFS in PA, OH, and in the "rust belt" which doesn't need any more bad news.

1. On Feb19, 2008, Chris Matthew of Hardball interviewed Obama supportor, Senator Kirk Watson, and asked twice,” Can you name one accomplishment of Sen. Obama in the US senate?” He could not name even one!  After being asked if he was considering running for President, his own wife said that "It's way too soon, he hasn't done anything yet!" (Caught on YouTube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyDqQW2adPk.  In the same interview, Obama admits that he has "served 8 years in complete obscurity," again on YouTube, and again admitting he has no experience...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1syR8iV3G0.  Less experience than GOVERNOR Palin (who is also Commander in Chief of the Alaskan National Guard).  Like it or not, America is the last standing "SuperPower" and with Obama's finger on the Nuclear trigger that is a scary, frightening thought.  Obama's own admitted experience is as an ACORN COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJurYbkuxTQ.  In other words, HE HAS BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE GROUP THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN TO BE REGULARLY COMMITTING VOTE FRAUD ACROSS THE COUNTRY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez6kKPcYbM0.  Not only that, NO ONE HAS DENIED THAT THE OBAMA CAMP HAS "DONATED" OVER $800,000 to a VOTE FRAUD ORGANIZATION!

What did you NEVER hear reported by the Obama media?  The original "bailout" program by the Democrats in Congress was fought against by Republicans BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A PROVISION TO PROVIDE BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO ACORN!  THE VOTE FRAUD ORGANIZATION THAT DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SUPPORT!

2.  Obama was the second largest recipient of campaign contributions (and all of the top 3 were Democrats) for the mortgage finance companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that caused the financial mess.  And the DEMOCRATS blocked the financial reforms that the Republicans tried to get passed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs Funny how there has been a media BLACKOUT (except Fox News) on how the DEMOCRATS CAUSED THE MORTGAGE PROBLEM THAT DESTROYED HOME VALUES AND DESTROYED 401(K) retirement portfolios! [FN1]

3.  Democrats NEVER really cut taxes, even when they "spread the wealth around."  Clinton promised to cut middle class taxes in 1992, but that never happened and the media never questioned or challenged it.  Does anyone really believe that Democrats will ever really reduce taxes?  You can't really be that naive.  Even if Obama were telling the truth and had every intention of cutting taxes, the President can not write legislation and from a Democrat Congress that has ALREADY PROMISED TO RAISE TAXES what kind of bills do you think a President Obama would be given to sign?  Stop believing the lies.  That's all they are is lies, and why is it that everyone keeps forgetting that the political party that always "promises" to help is always the one looking to take everything they can. [FN2]  I was SHOCKED to hear Barak's own words, NOT REPORTED IN THE MEDIA but caught on YouTube, where he admitted in San Franscisco that he was going to INTENTIONALLY BANKRUPTS THE COAL INDUSTRY IN AMERICA!  An industry that provide almost 50% of America's electrical power.  This is pure INSANITY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ

4.  Google shows some very scary connections to Obama and what the "Main Stream" media is trying to hide.  What friends do you have?  Do you make friends and associations with people who hate what you believe in, and who regularly attack and try to undermine your family and everything you find important?  Of course not, the friends you have are the people that you at least have some kind of common ground with.  Even if you don't agree with them on everything.  Your friends, good or bad, are a reflection of who you are.  And Obama is no different.  How about taking a few minutes and doing a Google search for "Obama's Communist Friends"?  You might be shocked to find that it is well documented who Obama really is thorugh his friends.  [FN3]  The scary thing is that THERE IS VIDEO OF OBAMA CAMPAIGNING, USING TAXPAYER MONEY, FOR HIS COMMUNIST COUSIN IN KENYA, RAILA ODINGA, WHO THEN ENGAGED IN MASS MURDER AND SLAUGHTER AFTER HE NARROWLY LOST THE ELECTION!  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1P_P8lBCsE   More information on Fox News reporting the truth:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvmmG7dQMLc&NR=1  This may be one of the most frightening admissions by Obama that the media isn't reporting, he wants a special "civilian national security" force in America, better funded and organized than our own military.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s  This should scare everyone in America.  This sounds like Fascism and totalitarianism.

Want something even scarier that the "main stream" outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC are covering up?  Obama ORIGINALLY RAN FOR STATE SENATOR IN ILLINOIS IN 1996 IN THE "NEW PARTY" WHICH WAS THE NAME FOR THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA...  Again ONLY reported on Fox News WITH DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE IT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ1jLxpfYCs.   The "Weatherman Underground," which Obama long-time friend and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers has a claim to fame, split from the "New Party" some time later.  Just Google, “Obama and New Party,” see for yourself.  And the Socialists favorite slogan?  "Change!"  See the scary list of terrorists and socialists that support "Obama's" platform for "change".   http://www.jeffhead.com/obamacircle.htm. Further, Fox News, the ONLY news program reporting anything at all about Obama did a 6 minute discussion with comments from Obama that talks about how he wants to turn America into a SOCIALIST NATION!  Again, see it for yourself on YouTube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzkXkY5wNmg.

5.  Obama wants to make the 12 - 20 million illegals in America citizens ASAP and then add health care.  He wants OUR TAXES AND JOBS TO PAY FOR IT ALL!  Obama's own AUNT IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN who has been ordered out of the country and LIVING ON WELFARE IN THE U.S.  However, Obama PRETENDS that he didn't know his own Aunt was living in the U.S. illegally???  http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/01/barack-obamas-kenyan-aunt-living-illegally-boston/ How much more of an economic disaster can he and his socialist democrat counterparts do?

6.  US Weekly, a reasonable weekly magazine just released an article where they review "Barak Obama" and it is clear that they are scared.  Their eyes were finally opened when the followed him on the campaign trail in South Carolina.  They saw his race-baiting, white hating rants and insanity for the first time.  They saw all of "Jeremiah Wright" and the "I Hate Amerca" side of Barak Hussein Obama come through that he has so completely lied to the public about and they have documented it.  Now, they have also loaded their magazine with a LOT more information that shows you just how completely perverse and sick the "main stream" media outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN have become in trying to hide the real man who presents the biggest risk to America and the world since the Civil War.  Read it for yourself on their front page.  http://www.usweekly.com/

Did he say “would necessarily skyrocket” or “wouldn’t necessarily skyrocket?”

I guess either way, he’s acknowledging that they might skyrocket, isn’t he?

He said he “WOULD” because he later talks about energy rates going up, and how the industry will send the cost to the American people.

Less than 48 hours!!! One final push to save the U.S.A.!

The challenge:

Between NOW and election day, convince at least two Obama/Undecided voters to vote for McCain. (family, neighbors, friends, people waiting in the check-out line) Further, convince these two people (or two others) to take up the same challenge. (Like a chain letter)

So you have converted people in the past? Good, but we need more!

Many Obama supporters are mindlessly supporting him, with no real reason, this means it is VERY easy to get them to switch over. Even if you fail, other Obama/undecideds may be in the room and hear valid arguments and question their faith in the One.

Don’t kick yourself a week from now saying “I could’ve done more....”

Do your part...your country depends on it!

Don’t you get it, that’s the whole idea... The Democrat Party is following the Nazi playbook TO THE LETTER. And I mean to the letter.

Democrats demonize Bush along with their media propaganda arm. Then make ALL Republicans out to be Bush.

Nazis, Demonize Jews and make them all out to be the same.

Democrats, wreck the economy then blame Bush and the Republicans.

Nazis, burn the Reichstag and then blame the Jews.

Democrats, use the media as a propaganda tool to decieve the public and put forward a charismatic leader to inspire “change.”

Nazis, use the media as a propaganda tool to deceive the public and put forth Hitler with all the answers to “change” the mess.

And I could go on.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE FOLLOWING THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST (NAZI) PLAYBOOK TO THE LETTER. THEY ARE EMPLOYING THE SAME PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUES AND THE SAME METHODS. THEY ARE JUST INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS.

THEIR NEXT STEP WITH BARAK IN POWER IS TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND BLAME BUSH, THE REPUBLICANS, AND THE WAR. THEN CONSOLIDATE POWER AND PERSECUTE CHRISTIANS AND CONSERVATIVES! MARK MY WORDS, THOSE ARE THEIR NEXT STEPS AND THEY WILL, WILL, WILL DO THIS WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS!

MARK MY WORDS. MARK MY WORDS. MARK MY WORDS. WITHIN THREE YEARS OF AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY THE U.S. ECONOMY WILL BE IN SHAMBLES AND U.S. NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY WILL BE TURNED OVER TO THE UNITED NATIONS. That is the last step in the Neo-Nazi (Democrat) playbook.

and he goes on to say that after spanking us with higher energy costs we would all eventually settle down and “save money” by being forced to spend more of our money on new technology ... appliances and light bulbs that are more energy efficient. Screw us once, screw us twice, screw us once again.

I can’t believe this guy is so stupid that he thinks he could actually get away with this and not cause an armed revolution at the same time. Is he saying that these regulations would apply to all coal-fired plants, or just those that are constructed from here on out? If the latter, then maybe he thinks he can get away with it because it will be the next President’s problem.

Here is what he said:
The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.

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.

They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, “Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, they’re going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars,” or whatever their number is. Um, if you can’t persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing lightbulbs and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.

In other words, pay higher rates with the extra money going to the government---who is here to help!

As for "forcing" us to do the right thing and "mobilizing the citizenry"...isn't this where his browshirt service corps comes in? ACORN took on the banks. I imagine they'd be more than happy to take on coal, oil, nuclear, etc.

According to The Book of Revelations:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power,
he will destroy everything.
