In 2008 Barack Obama clearly stated that he had a plan to drive energy prices high while bankrupting the coal industry. His EPA has followed through on that plan, but for the most part, the media has ignored Obama’s 2008 comment and steered clear of linking them to any EPA regulatory action. There’s a good chance that a majority of Pennsylvanians have never seen Obama’s comments at all. But starting today, the Romney campaign is putting Obama’s comments front and center in its new move to capture PA’s 20 electoral votes.
Obama’s comments show an arrogance and complete disregard for the livelihoods of Pennsylvania’s coal mining industry. They rip the mask off Obama as a uniting figure, showing that he intended from the start to use harsh policies that he knew would hurt millions of people and destroy jobs. Matched up with the insensitive comments by EPA regional head Curt Spalding, telling coal communities to just “go away,” this ad can help swing Pennsylvania into the Romney column.
pretty effective
Now he needs to tie it into the higher electric bills we are all paying. It boggles the mind that these morons are using subsidies to push electric cars at the same time they are trying to close down power plants.
“The cost of energy must necessarily go up.” — Barrack Hussein Obama – 2008.
Even an Igno Ramus like me can get that message loud and clear! If the cost of current energy sources increases enough, it will become financially viable to pay people to run on treadmills to produce electricity for the grid. Think of all the new jobs that would be created. Unemployment would plummet! Of course youmight have to threaten some with starvation in order to get them to take their turn on the wheel, but what the heck? Didn’t the Jamestown Colony practice some sort of this socialist idea? “If you don’t work, you don’t eat”? I can just see it now! The evil rich would have to run on the wheel or loose everything they have including their lives. This would make everything right in the world and the little furry critters would be safe from the evil humans as well.
Good. BHO is a two-faced Eddie Haskell.
When I see this I have to remind myself that I could get punch drunk from slapping my head.
The Fraud should forvermore be the one-word definition of the term “hiding in plain sight”
I think that Romney has probably saturated Ohio and some of the other battlegrounds. Running ads in CO, MN, Wisc, MI, and PA might get a couple of these to go red with little $ spent.
Sandy will probably reduce turnout in Philly, except for those that will cross broken glass. This might also affect the PA Senate, the NY Senate, and CT senate races.
