It is a sad, sad world when you know more people that are laid off and without jobs, then you know people that are employed.

[poobear]

Wow, reminds me of the Mitt Romney campaign smear commercials. All they need is wives with cancer who lose their benefits. No-one will report that though right?

[Wingy]

And how many of these guys voted for Obama? How’s that hopey changey stuff working out for them?

[NonValueAdded]

Fear not, Hatfield's Ferry employees, Obama is going to give a major economic speech announcing the broad brush strokes of hit economic recovery plan. Surely there are some shovel-ready infrastructure jobs for you.

YOU HEARD HIS PLAN FOR COAL, WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Thankfully my younger brother got the hell outta there when Sunoco closed their plant.He had a job in Texas within 24 hours.Never looked back.Shame about those that a left.

[Lancey Howard]

Whenever I see a story like this one, I wonder how many of those poor souls voted for the African communist Ubama in the first place.
I just want to laugh at those morons.

[RginTN]

The RNC should run ads every day featuring these layed off workers.

[Stingray]

“...what good is green energy to me if I can’t support my family?”

Some of these folks should’ve thought of that before voting for Obamagabe.

[fortheDeclaration]

And Penn. will continue to vote Democrat.

[Hoodat]

Hey Pennsylvania! Elections have consequences. You knew this going in, yet you voted for him anyway.

[Alberta's Child]

I’m no fan of Obama, but let’s be honest here: The biggest factor in the closure of these power plants in western Pennsylvania is probably the declining prices of natural gas as the development of Marcellus shale gas extraction unfolds. Nobody is using less electricity these days, so these coal-fired plants are simply being replaced by gas-fired plants.

[dforest]

I am sad for these people, but it seems when you hear these stories, these folks keep voting for their own demise.

Truth is the politicians lie before every election and the people buy it. They want to believe democrats.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Power from some of the best coal in the world.
Trashed.

[nvscanman]

Obummer promised us before he was elected in 2008
that he intended to destroy the electric generating
capacity of this country and cause the costs to
consumers for electricity to “skyrocket”. A criminal
and treasonous plan that he has carried out as intended.
He should be strung up from a lamppost for this....along
with the countless other crimes he has committed while
posing as a leader....when he in fact is just an Alinsky
trained puppet.

[ontap]

Let’s see....did western Pa. support Obama.......hummmmmmmm!!!!

[ThomasMore]

thanks to Obama the Job Killer

[ArrogantBustard]

"First, we were shocked. Then we were upset. Now, we're just angry," said Gregg Jerome of Uniontown, an electrician at the plant.

Did you vote for Barackula the Destroyer? He promised to do away with your job. Some of us believed him. That's (part of) why Wyoming, West Virginia and Kentucky voted majority for McCain/Palin and R0mney/Ryan. How 'bout you?

[dennisw]

who did they vote for or did they not even vote???? I’ll bet half or more voted obama and Democrats

I cannot see a Romney Administration being this cruel via the evil EPA. Half the EPA are stupid loafers and porn surfers just fire them.

[citizen]

C’mon....these guys should stop complaining. They have a lucrative future in unemployment/food stamps/SSA/disability/AFDC/welfare/EITC/tuition grants....use ‘em all! Mix and match...It’s the now thing in 0bama’s USSA.
