Bankrupting coal?
Ben Smith's Blog —
An Obama aide said that an audio clip that seemed to show Obama threatening to bankrupt the coal industry is "wildly edited to take it out of context."
As both sides release the last shreds of possibly damaging information, the conservative site Newsbusters quoted Obama saying:
"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them."
Obama and McCain support similar cap-and-trade systems; Obama's campaign said he was only referring old-fashioned, high-emissions coal plants; though he didn't ...

In January Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle he intends to "bankrupt" the coal industry
Doug Ross @ Journal —
Barack Obama told The San Francisco Chronicle that he wants to bankrupt the coal industry . His words, not mine: [image] Let 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 ...
Daily Dictator: USA Version
Snapped Shot —
... Nope. This is not another in Brian's series in Mid-East dictators. This is the another in the new and ongoing series of our possible American Dictator. Newsbusters has found something that should have been widely reported but since it was stated and promised by the Obamassiah, it was covered up by the ever unbiased and honorable MSM. And, since the Obamassiah's words were spoken in San Francisco, then you know the media in SanFran made it front page news. (cough, cough) ...

Gas Tax
Jules Crittenden —
... You’ve probably seen by now that Obama wants to bankrupt the coal industry by taxing, charging fees, cap and trade auctions, whatever you want to call screwing the people who burn coal. Which in this country is just about everyone who flicks a lightswitch. Your energy cash will be sacrificed on the altar of global warming. Newsbusters with the chatter the SF Chron didn’t see fit to print: Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

Obama laughed.

Tapper: "Have a press conference then!"

Stop The ACLU —
... why we are just now finding out about the interview where Barack Obama said he had hoped to bankrupt the coal industry but CNN termed this interview and Obama’s startling admission as “months-old coal comments” in an attempt to soften the blow to Ohio and Pennsylvania voters. The Political Ticker said that since the San Francisco Chronicle had these comments on its website for nine months, the news of Obama’s quote was no big deal. But this is a misleading claim. As we know from P.J. Gladnick’s NewsBusters report , Obama admitted that his intention for new coal plants was to ...
