May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Baby, I'm Amazed

If the polls are right...
A tape resurfaced over the weekend of Obama saying "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." In January, "So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it's just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted." He is willing to destroy the coal industry but coal miners will vote for him, and people barely able to pay their energy costs will vote for him. Baby, I'm amazed.
He said. "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, it's not surprising they get bitter, and they cling to their guns and religion... or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment". Yet Pennsylvanians, Mid-westerners, Christians and gun owners will vote for him. Baby, I'm amazed.
'Wealthy' people have been told that most of their wealth will be confiscated by his economic policy, and they will vote for him. Baby, I'm amazed.
Obama said he supports an 'undivided Jerusalem', and said "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people". His has several anti-Israel foreign policy advisers including General Tony McPeak, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Rashid Khalidi. Yet Jewish voters will vote for him. Baby, I'm amazed.
