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 Virginias 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 arent 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.

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.
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).
April 6, 2008 Fundraiser, Obama visited these homes:
Sohaib Abbasi (& wife Sara), a former executive of computer giant, Oracle Corporation, was born in Lahore, Pakistan
Ann and Gordon Getty’s in San Francisco - Gordon Getty married Ann Gilbert in 1964, and has four sons. Although the couple have remained married, Gordon has a second family of three daughters with a woman named Cynthia Beck based in Southern California.
Nancy and Bob Farese - Dr Robert Farese, Endocrinologist
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!!..
I hope it isn’t too late to get an ad out tomorrow....
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.
From your keypoard to McCain Ad strategist
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.
