But before you listen to the audio of Barack Obama and his radical views on coal, first a few facts concerning coal as it relates to Indiana, courtesy of the Indiana Coal Council:

Indiana Coal Production since 2004 and where in Indiana coal is mined:
2007 – 34,231,151 tons
2006 – 34,715,610 tons
2005 – 34,460,052 tons
2004 – 35,240,514 tons

The post on Red State notes that it’s odd that this is the only portion of the interview with the San Fransisco Chronicle that has been released, but as Moe Lane puts it “Live by the avoidance of transparency, die by the avoidance of transparency.”

(H/T for the clip goes to Red State)
