And they intend to kill coal,,,, Ask any railroad man how much business the railroads do hauling coal. He will bankrupt the railroads, and then be forced to nationalize them too! Obama is a radical communist who intends to destroy America.

He must be stopped.

Wasn't there some news article a few months ago about Warren Buffett buying a lot of shares in BNSF? BNSF is a major freight railroad.

Oh yeah, last November, here it is:

Anybody else remember candidate Obama's words about coal fired power plants? "If they build a coal fired power plant, we'll bankrupt them!"

By nationalizing the railroads, the government will be able to take over all intermodal transportation of goods and services throughout the country. The government will be able to decide which states and cities will be able to get which goods and services.

Interestingly enough, "central planning" has been tried throughout the world, and it always fails. We saw it in the Soviet Union. We can see it today in North Korea, Cuba, and Zimbabwe. But of course, the leftists believe that it's not the ideas and policies that are flawed, just the people who tried to implement them... Remember the words of the Great and Powerful O(z):"We are the ones we've been waiting for!"

Maybe the railroads will be safe afterall, the destination of the coal will change from power plants to ports
I heard there are plans to expand exports of coal to Asia.
If we are not willing to use our own coal, other countries will be happy to take it.
Oh and by the way pollution from Asia does reach the US so all we are doing is to hurt our own economy & still suffer the pollution from burning coal.
Except of course their enviromental laws are far more lax than ours
This is so wrong...but November is coming
