I think you’re wrong about him. The guy is in his 80’s, give him a break. He’s doing the best he can in very bad circumstances. I think he cares very much about those trapped miners. He has said he himself was a miner and in the mining business for 50 years. And I beg to differ with those who say he’s not that bright. I think the man is exceedingly bright and thorough with his review of what is taking place each day. You aren’t in the mining business for 50 years without being extremely knowledgeable about your subject matter.

Yesterday he was crying at one of the news conferences. He’s getting by on very little sleep. He’s 80 plus. Good thing he’s a big, burly Burl Ives kind of guy, who looks like when younger was strong as a bull. He’s got that thick neck and broad chest. I like the guy. He’s a one of a kind type of guy. As to the seismic activity, others besides him have been calling those bumps “seismic events” which they are. Now, Murray wants to take it further and say the whole original collapse was caused by an earthquake, which may be a stretch. However, the verdict is still out. Regardless, Bob Murray didn’t cause the collapse, mining is dangerous, and you take your chances when you sign up for the job of miner.

The MSM, on the other hand, wants to instantly assign blame. They are like vultures up there right now, waiting to pounce on whomever they can point the finger at. With few exceptions, they make me sick. I’m glad Bob Murray has kept them under control as much as possible. Good for him.

He's also the son of a coal miner. He might have made it big, but I think he remembers "where he came from."

I agree so many today for every one to be polish to fit the image of the 30 sec sound bite kids!

He is dealing with many issues here!

His main concern is the miners but he also knows when this is over it will be another blow for energy source in America, and those who depend on affordable utility energy because the Dems want to shut down any energy source include drilling for oil!

This man in his 80’s plus he don’t need they money nor the headaches many families depend on this for a living.

I think you are quite right about him.

Thanks.
