Obama/Joe Biden "No Coal Plants Here in America"

Obama VP Joe Biden speaking with an activist in Ohio. Tells her he doesn't support clean coal here in the US and that he only  wants coal plants built in China. Send this to your favorite UMWA supporter and open up their eyes.

This story is breaking out all across coal country! Biden is the gift that keeps on giving. There is no better ally for a conservative than a liberal speaking their mind.

[Holicheese]

Somehow Obama’s spokesman will claim this is a huge victory for Americas coal miners and how Republicans want them to all have black lung!

[LS]

Gee, think this might have a little play in . . . Pennsylvania?

"Well they're shutting all the factories down. And they've taken all the coal from the ground." (Billy Joel)

...than a liberal speaking their mind.

Or the lack thereof.

[Deo volente]

Goodbye, West Virginia!

What in the world could have prompted Obama to pick this guy?

[ari-freedom]

No. If you read into what he is saying- he is talking about clean coal technology and the fact that we do have to make that investment before we proceed,"


Yeah.. that's the ticket! Yeah, you betcha!

[Beeman]

He has got to be the biggest idiot ever running for VP. Maybe there is some truth to him getting knocked off the ticket and replaced by Hillary. Can he really be this dumb? Not only will this play in WV, but in northwestern VA and in PA. I have a home just north of Bristol, and there are alot of coal communities there. I see the coal trucks all the time and have gone to coal mining museums in VA.

Conservatives have been praying for a man who would make democrats sweat every time he opens his mouth.

Who knew Obama would give us one as his VP choice?

Stand Up Joe, God Bless ya!

[Hang'emAll]

Tom Vogel, the Obama campaign spokesperson in West Virginia, said Biden is actually saying he is in favor of clean coal technology despite Biden’s words that “we are not supporting clean coal.”....

I see now. Thank you, Tom.

I was confused by Biden’s elitist nuance.

[Red Badger]

We don't need no steenking coal plants!..........

[Right Wing Assault]

Go Joe! OH, PA, WV, etc. don't need no stinkin' coal mines. You tell 'em Joe.

Go to these states and get the word out. Help keep these blue states red!

This one was a genuine honest to gosh spewie. Luckily it was water I was drinking, relatively harmless to the desktop.

great line

“Tom Vogel, the Obama campaign spokesperson in West Virginia, said Biden is actually saying he is in favor of clean coal technology despite Biden’s words that “we are not supporting clean coal.”

So using that logic, when Biden says he loves his grand kids, he really means he HATES his grand kids.

Is it reversey day or something?

So he didn't supported it before he did support it?

Stand up Chuck!

[stockpirate]

What other states produce coal? I need to know so I can color them red!

[thackney]

appears to have been shot in Ohio while Biden was campaigning

86% of Ohio’s Electric Power is generated by coal.

His hairplugs have caused dementia.

[CobraJet]

Imagine that. He voted for a global warming bill even before there was global warming.

Well, sure,... of course. It's... uh... you know... um,... obvious.

Don’t forget the states that depend on coal for most of their electrical power.
