Sarah Palin kept up her attacks today against Barack Obama’s energy policies in Ohio during her fifth stop in the Buckeye State in two days.
Palin again criticized the Illinois senator for comments he made to the San Francisco Chronicle earlier this year when he said that his proposal to cap greenhouse gases would make it much harder to produce coal-fired power plants without more advanced technology.

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can,” Obama said then. “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.”
The issue is particularly sensitive in coal-rich Ohio, West Virginia, and Colorado. Obama made the comments to the San Francisco Chronicle in January, which were posted on YouTube over the weekend.
Palin compared the comments to remarks Obama made at an April fundraiser in San Francisco when he said that small-town Americans become bitter and frustrated about their economic distress and “cling” to guns and religion. Being in San Francisco, she said “it’s like a truth serum, like when he’s there he seems to be more candid,” she said.
“The bitter clingers, the cling-ons, all of us, I guess, holding onto religion and guns,” she said, shrugging as the crowd cheered. “So something about he being there in San Francisco.”
Why does Obama feel so at home in the Gay Bay? They're his people. You'll have a hard time finding people with a harder leftist bent than you'll find in San Francisco, so when Obama is there, he's right at home. No wonder he feels so free to open up to them.
