  Obama's plan for jobs on Pennsylvania, Virginia , West Virginia , Kentucky, Tennessee, and other states, and Obama's plan for dealing with the high cost of energy, including electricity generation.
  
  An audiotape of an interview Barack Obama did in January 2008 with The San Francisco Chronicle has surfaced in the final days of the presidential campaign. On the tape Obama tells the interviewer, . " so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. . . It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."
  
  Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not Pennsylvania? We have seen this before, yes? Something about guns and religion.
  
  And why did Newsweek take their story on the Pennsylvania campaign down yesterday after this story broke?

  I don't think it hurts Obama at all. In the beginning, Kwame Kilpatrick was in a position very much like Obama on a smaller scale. Kilpatrick was the new, younger guy with fresh ideas to help bring back a floundering city with severly mismanaged funds and old rhetoric. He DID help the city a lot in his first term. However, somewhere along the way he either thought he had clout because his mother is either a state rep. or a senator, and he started to believe his own hype. and made bad decisions. He surrounded himself with no good people and even his wife went along with abusing city funds. Obama is not Kwame Kilpatrick! I am formerly from Detroit and know that Sen. Obama has much more sense than to do or get caught up in nonsense like that. My goodness, I'm not a political figure and would know not to use any city devices to carry on illicit things. Even I would assume, being the mayor, especially one that gained so many haters from shaking up the old administration, that I was always being watched. No man is above reproach and Kwame thought he's the mayor and fooled himself into thinking he was untouchable. He should have taken a lesson from former mayor Coleman Young, he would have never let anything like that happen. He was too smart for that. I didn't say he didn't have his dirt, but he never got caught. Kwame thought he could get away with it and was so very wrong. I congratulate Detroit for calling him on his dirt.
