The Marxist in Chief on TV now claiming he's going after "all coal mines" strong and hard "using the full force of the justice department."
The guy is a flat out commie.
It couldn’t be any worse than with Jimmah Cahtah.
Man..I hate this guy...
I see he took good notes from his master, the President of China
You thought it couldn’t BUT IT IS!!!
He is shaking them down to fund his thugs, typical Deminazi tactic.
Exactly what caused the explosion, fire & deaths at the coal mine?
This has been part of the plan all along, Comrade! From 2008:
Hidden Audio: Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry
By P.J. Gladnick
November 2, 2008 – 07:26 ET
(Please read update about the San Francisco Chronicle neglecting to mention Obama’s willingness to bankrupt the coal industry at bottom of this blog.)
Imagine if John McCain had whispered somewhere that he was willing to bankrupt a major industry? Would this declaration not immediately be front page news? Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview. The result? Nothing. This audio interview has been hidden from the public…until now. Here is the transcript of Obama’s statement about bankrupting the coal industry (emphasis mine):
“Let me sort of describe my overall policy.
What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.
I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.
That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.
The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.”
It’s just that it will bankrupt them.
Amazing that this statement by Obama about bankrupting the coal industry has been kept under wraps until this time.
UPDATE: NewsBusters’ Tom Blumer has found out that the San Francisco Chronicle story published on January 18 based upon this January 17 interview did not include any mention of Obama’s willingness to bankrupt the coal industry which you can hear on the audio. You can read the story here when you scroll down to the “In His Own Words” section. Way to cover up for The One, SF Chronicle!

LOL! Stupid WV idiots voting for Democrats from birth. They did vote against the marxist muslim. If WV had a Repub Senator he could tell Obama to get the **** out of my state.
Didn’t he say he would do this during his campaign?
I just watched the same thing. Not because I wanted to, because I know I need to pay attention to what comes out of his mouth. I don’t expect a medal for this, but it IS getting increasingly hard to listen to this guy. (I was sick of hearing his “valley girl” speech patterns BEFORE the election.)
Of course, his solution to everything is more and more government, with himself at the helm. And capitalizing on a mining accident in a transparent attempt to puff himself up even further is just plain wrong. Evil, even.
Close the mines, starve the power plants, turn out the lights.
I just called the Pennsylvania Coal Association to give them a heads-up on what the Marxist-in-Chief is up to today. They are aware.
This guy needs to be out of Washington in 2012. Case Closed.
Sounds like Zimbabwe.
Go, Obama, Go!
Kill this once great experiment.
What a guy!
Where has Obama “The Great” been?
We have needed this since “the beginning of time”!!!!
Now, The United States of AmeriKa can shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who needs coal anyway?
Hopefully the little communist sh!tstain will go back to kenya.
He is intentionally destroying this Country.
Exactly...”bankrupt the coal industry”. JUST AS PLANNED!
TIME.....FOR.....CHANGE!!!
Obamao is a thug. I knew the minute he jumped into this that he was up to no good.
I am stealing “valley girl”. Barry’s new name.
Thanks.
