Coal Official in Shock - Same Group (San Fransisco) that Obama Made "Bitter" Comments About
But As for Me ^ | Wes Rock

Coal Official in Shock Call Obama Comments ‘Unbelievable’

At least one state coal industry leader said he was shocked by comments Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made earlier this year concerning his plan to aggressively charge polluters for carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, according to West Virginia’s legal journal.

Same Groups Involved: The Infamous “Bitter” Comments

Obama is already on record of putting down townsfolk in the rust-coal belt. In the primaries with Hilary Clinton, he told the same liberal group in San Francisco that small towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania: ”get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

These small towns cling to coal too. Taking coal away would devastate communities and the economies of these small towns, not to mention raising energy prices substantially for all Americans.

It will be very interesting to see how much media attention this gets in the upper Midwest. I have wrote my local television stations asking them to investigate and report on this issue. I'm sure the Obama campaign is worried.

Not just coal officials, and coal workers and their families, but EVERYONE who enjoys the relatively inexpensive miracle of electrial power, delivered to their home and workplace thanks to King Coal, should be utterly outraged at the arrogant Marxist’s statement.

Everyone.

Hannity picked it up tonight on Fox and played the video. Ann Coulter was on his show. The media cannot ignore this. LOL! Not when it hits Drudge, Fox and is all over the internet. This is going to drive the polls up for McCain overnight. Rush, Glenn Beck, Neal Bortz, Michael Savage, Mark Levin. Yeppers! LOL! YIPPPEEE!!

Coal is also the number one commodity tranported by America’s railroads.

The effect on the rail industry would also be catastrophic.

Clean Coal has been running ads in SW PA saying that both Obama and McCain support Clean Coal. I guess they are “Shocked.” But we aren’t surprised.

Fact: Obama will increase your Electricity Bill, by increasing emission fines on Coal companies until they go "bankrupt".

McCain will save you money, both on your Electricity Bill and your Petrol.

Why are these people shocked? Obama is a limousine liberal elitist who doesn’t give a hoot about the regular working man. This is also a reason why this early voting stinks too. How many union workers have voted for Obama yet after hearing this news wish they could change their vote? We need across the board rules on voting, everyone votes on election day with the exception being people who request absentee ballots, specifically for our military to vote.

We are seeing why Obama was desperate for people to vote early (and often).

I wonder why Obama isn’t telling Americans about his plans in regard to the Kyoto Treaty?

I haven’t heard a word...has anyone else?

I love West Virginia- I used to drive through it frequently on my stops when driving to college from IN to VA! Great people-this will piss off a LOT of them (especially since I know know the history of Blair Mountain (War) and the Unions!!..

Remember, NOBODY has voted yet in PA, there is no early voting.

No coal, no matter how clean, can burn without producing carbon dioxide.

Obama will try to make carbon dioxide an official pollutant subject to EPA control.

It will destroy our economy.

Gosh, and CO2 gives us some great green forests. BO needs to go back and study simple science.

Remember, humans emit CO2 - is he going to charge us for breathing? From the looks of it, yes. Scary.
