Apparently Barack only tells the truth in San Francisco or when we hear him or Biden in an unscripted moment. We all know about the “bitter/clinging to their guns and bibles” comment and Joe the Plumber.
This morning I quickly wrote about Obama’s comments about bankrupting the coal industry. His comments really are shocking and yet (surprise, surprise, surprise . . . no not really) no mention about the comments in the MSM. I don’t have to ask the next question, because we already know that had McCain said he was going to decimate an industry that employs thousands of American workers it would be all over the cable networks and in the NY Times.
The comments were made to the San Francisco earlier this year. I’m posting the audio/video again, and a full transcript can be read at Newsbusters.

What is criminal about this story is that voters in coal producing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia do not know how duplicitous Obama has been. These are Americans that will go into the voting booth and unknowingly vote for their own jobs to be eliminated because the MSM has failed to inform them of this.
Now let me bring your attention to this story found on Washingtonpost.com written just before May primaries when Barry was running against Hillary Clinton.
Obama’s Coal Stance, in Kentucky and Beyond
Over the past two weeks, Obama’s campaign has run an ad in Kentucky depicting Obama as a strong friend of the coal industry, recounting his efforts on behalf of coal miners in southern Illinois and touting his success in securing $200 million in the federal budget last year for “clean coal” technologies.
Obama “helped lead the fight for clean coal to protect our environment and save good-paying American jobs,” the ad’s narrator said, in language similar to a mailing that the campaign sent out in the state.
In another Washingtonpost.com article Barack’s “complicated record” on coal issues is discussed. It’s complicated all right . . . because as far back as 2004 he’s been telling voters he will support the the coal industry. Do the words “stinking liar” resonate here?

VOTERS IN COAL PRODUCING SWING STATES NEED TO KNOW THAT A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY AND A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE TO BANKRUPT THE COAL INDUSTRY AND THE LOSS OF THEIR JOBS!
LISTEN TO BIDEN’S WORDS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO . . . “NO COAL PLANTS IN AMERICA!”
