This means Obama wants to provide even more grants to some solar cell manufacturing firm funded by Kleiner Perkins (Al Gore is a partner in Kleiner Perkins). Remember the 2.1 billion grant a couple of days back?
I truly think he’s one of those special folks who is so smart he’s stupid.
Asthma attacks can be "triggered" by pollutants, or fresh paint, or new carpets, or spring flowers. But they don't "cause" the asthma itself.
Another interesting thing is that asthma diagnoses have gone up in recent decades as smoking rates have decreased. You'd think the opposite would be true.
Now he is a medical doctor? What a @#$%ing idiot.
Slugs?
Oh, and, feel FRee to add a FR link to your website.
Many Thanks!
Shut your pie hole, Obama. You don’t know WTF you’re talking about.
Coal creates asthma? Now obimbo is a doctor as well as a messiah?
Just think of all the asthmatic kids we are creating in China (sarc)
We are shipping our coal there as fast as it can be hauled
Take a look at this

....”Is more than a dozen cargo ships waiting around near the Bay Bridge a particularly high amount? Not really, he said.
“It really ebbs and flows, depending on the supply and demand,” Scher said. “We might have a period where there’s a whole lot, and we might have a period where we don’t see any.”
A spokesman for CNX didn’t return a call seeking comment, but the demand for coal overseas is soaring. According to the U.S. Energy Administration, the United States exported 13 million tons of coal to Asia during the first nine months of 2010, compared with 3.85 million tons during the same time frame the year earlier.
There have been reports of increased coal train traffic in places like Montana, and industry watchers linked that to rising demand. In the Hampton Roads area of southern Virginia, residents are seeing more coal vessels, according to a February story in the Virginian-Pilot.
Dan Stambaugh, general manager of the Baltimore Maritime Exchange, said he hadn’t gotten many calls from residents about the ships and was surprised that someone else had.
“I would call this normal,” he said. “We have one coal pier, and we’re shipping out a lot of coal from the U.S. to foreign counties.”
What a jackass.
when I was a kid, 40’s and 50’s, we lived in innercity Milwaukee and virtually everyone, in those days, heated with coal. Dad worked for the Wisconsin ice and coal company and he delivered the stuff.....the air, during the winter months, always smelled of coal fire and kind of looked yellow....it’s a wonder it didn’t kill us all!!!!
Let's all send our esteemed Pres**ent a lump of coal for Christmas.
She was much wiser than the Community Agitator in Chief could ever dream of becoming.
How 65 Million Voters ever pulled the handle for this guy is beyond my comprehension.
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
“creating asthma for kids nearby,”
This, second hand smoke” lie closed the local generation plants. Our electric bills doubled. Asthma rates are the same.
Amen
