Your Electricity Bill is About to Necessarily Skyrocket
Breitbart. <3 <3 <3 ^ | 6-10-12 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 06/10/2012 6:59:56 PM PDT by netmilsmom

In January of 2008, then Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama, talking about his energy plan, told the San Francisco Chronicle, “When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal…under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket…” He wasn’t kidding.

While he was talking about his cap and trade plan, something that went nowhere in Congress, even when Democrats controlled it with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, his objective of changing how we generate electricity hasn’t changed. Neither has his lack of concern for the cost to consumers.

President Obama hates coal because he has deemed it too “dirty.” It’s also the largest generator of electricity in this country. Were there a cheaper, easier (and even cleaner) source of electricity generation the market would have embraced it because that’s how markets work. But there isn’t, at least not yet.

That’s right. We cannot allow the Treasonous low life, and his minions to continue efforts to destroy this Nation.

“Obama hates coal” my foot. It’s America he hates.

I’m beginning to think that owebama doesn’t have any original thoughts of his own.

He hates what he is advised to hate.

America “necessarily” needs to get rid of Obama, before he destroys America.

He wants the people to return to nature, just like that nice Cambodian fellow.

“President Obama hates coal...”

Obama primarily wants to destroy America, but has anyone looked at his ties to Indonesian coal?

“(Clinton) signed the Executive Order designating 1.7 million acres of land in southwest Utah as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (Kaiparowitz Plateau),...”

“Besides the Kaiparowitz Plateau, there are only two other known locations in the world where comparable coal is found in sufficient quantities to make mining it worthwhile.”

“...the coal fields of South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia.”

“Democrats attempted to downplay the allegations of impropriety. Even if the Clinton campaign and the Party did receive illegal contribution- which is denied -what, they demanded, had Clinton done for Lippo Group, the Riadys, or Indonesia that really affects this country adversely?”

http://www.laissez-fairerepublic.com/indocoal.htm

Was Lolo Soetoro connected with the Lippo Group, or is Obama just picking up where Clinton left off?

Follow the money, connect the dots...

The remaining Obama stickers on the backs of cars are coming off here - the utility has asked for 7% this year. No doubt, the first of many 7% years, whether or not the Green Genius is re-elected. The damage has been done.

PS: I would not advise anyone with an Obama bumper sticker to travel east of Paris, Ky. Or, on second thought, go right ahead! It’s beautiful coal country there. Really.

I have screen shots of Romney’s website and I am going to hold him to it. He has two years. Otherwise, he will be facing a hostile Congress...

...of Tea Party members.

THE question underlying this: Is there ANYTHING about this country and our system (admittedly imperfect as are ALL systems containing human beings) this SOB DOES LIKE?

http://www.mittromney.com/issues/regulation

I am liking what I read, but, we shall see.

I am not in favor of eliminating the EPA, because without it, this place would look like post-Soviet Russia by now, maybe worse. On the other hand, we wouldn’t have any Social Security problem because the average life expectancy would be 60!

It needs to be reigned in and scaled back (very significantly) to its original mission.

Is there ANYTHING about this country this SOB (Obama) DOES LIKE?

Obama loves the fact that Americans are fools.

WHY? He has a radical leftist background. Does that explain all of his attacks against our country?

Maybe.

But what about LIbya? What about Arab Spring? Egypt is going to be controlled by Muslim Brotherhood. OBama has one of these terrorists in the White House with him.

How about Iraq? And Syria?

Will you finally figure out WHO Obama is working for when Iran, Egypt, Libya, Iraq and Syria attack Israel? Most Americans couldn't figure it out if Obama was on the evening news on a prayer rug facing Mecca.

“He wants the people to return to nature...]

Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan had much to say on subject of a return to nature.

Quite a hell I can assure you.
