“What would it take to open their eyes???”

Nothing. PA is a lost cause, as is Michigan. That’s what Democrat control does. I think Ohio is going to follow along shortly. The Upper Midwest is history.

“News on the wires is layoffs are now mounting and the market is going down again today.”

Well, people are also going to start taking the penalties and pulling out their 401k’s if the rumor that Congress is going to control them continues to persist.

It’s not just O’s supporters, it’s Dems & Liberals, in general. Go back into the Clinton years and read their words one Hussein & their WMD programs. And look at the videos of Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, et al, insisting that there’s no problem with Fannie Mae.

Time after time after time, they act as if they did not say these things. And time after time after time, squishy, toothless Republicans and their accomplices in the MSM let them get away with it.

We didn’t deserve to lose this election, but timid, moderate Republicans sure did.

If zer0 puts Junior in charge of the EPA, the only use for a lump of coal will be as a doorstop.

Haha! If it wasn’t so tragic, it is going to be amazing to watch all the groups who support Obama slowly realize over the course of his Presidency that he doesn’t have their interests in mind.

Well, that’s what happend to a factory close to my home in western PA.

Built with help from Germany to make VW’s

Between the unions and affirmative action the productivty was low and plant closed

Then the Japanese bought it (SONY)- that also failed

I think the Chinese are making something there now- ?

My perpetually underachieving democrat union brother who hasn’t worked steadily since VW left in the 1980’s blames it all on George Bush. He’s one getting a donated goat for Christmas

“So either Hussein was lying to his buddies in San Francisco or he was lying to the coal miners.

Either way, he is a liar.”

######

Indeed. Clintonesque.

In the end it is the rich hippies in SF who will end up being lied to. Obama will have succeeeded in making a “courageous” and “hip”, radical statement to the clueless California EnviroFasacists, but in the end he will be forced to do the pragmatic thing and leave KingCoal alone.

The ESSENTIAL component on which The Zero can count on for consistent, unwavering support is full LeftMedia cover and justification for his two-faced behavior.

I work in the defense electronics industry. I tell people that the dems want to cut military spending by 25%. Barny Fwank said so. Their jobs are in danger. They still voted for the Zero.......

Nuclear plant!
No, I am saying that these Union thugs should get what they deserve.
They promoted a guy that said he would bankrupt the coal industry. Biden said he was against coal. What more do you need to hear before you stop supporting someone?
Then to put out a press release like that...
People in Western PA were called racists, rednecks, and retards yet they still vote for Murtha and Barack!

They are unbelievable. If the environmental fascist RFK Jr is named Interior Secretary, our end is nigh. The best investment you can make will be to reinvent those old wringer-washers and market it. Energy will be incredibly expensive, and rare. We are another Zimbabwe in the making, and Obama will be telling people how wonderful it is.

"Save this one for the next election. If the mines are still open they will be shipping all their product to China, perhaps with Chinese managers overseeing them"


Come on ... China has total estimated coal deposits of 4,490 billion tons.

Why would they import from the US?

yes, the old Chrysler New Stanton plant, er, ah I mean the old VW plant, er, ah I mean the old SONY plant. I wouldn’t count on that plant re opening anytime soon with “card check” coming. Any company looking to put a plant anywhere is going to go to a right to work state.

Unions are a basic form of Socialism so they (the UNION) will like an Obama even though he has promised to destroy the industry the supposedly represent.
