Coal Official in Shock - Same Group (San Fransisco) that Obama Made "Bitter" Comments About

Coal Official in Shock Call Obama Comments ‘Unbelievable’

At least one state coal industry leader said he was shocked by comments Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made earlier this year concerning his plan to aggressively charge polluters for carbon and greenhouse gas emissions, according to West Virginia’s legal journal.

Same Groups Involved: The Infamous “Bitter” Comments

Obama is already on record of putting down townsfolk in the rust-coal belt. In the primaries with Hilary Clinton, he told the same liberal group in San Francisco that small towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania: ”get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

These small towns cling to coal too. Taking coal away would devastate communities and the economies of these small towns, not to mention raising energy prices substantially for all Americans.

Alaska also has a large coal mine near Healy. Usibelli Coal Mine has been operating for many years. Many trains that come through Wasilla are mile-long coal trains. Barack HUSSEIN Obama keeps pissing on Alaska. He's going to mess around and make us mad, here, pretty soon...

One of the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America, Richard? Trumka, is a leader of the AFL-CIO. He has a long record of supporting and/or participating in the old Communist Party USA’s fronts, esp. those related to labor - Labor Research Associates.

Red rats in the mining place. Obama as their leader.
UMW - welcome to the unemployment line. You earned it.

EVERYONE who enjoys the relatively inexpensive miracle of electrial power, delivered to their home and workplace thanks to King Coal, should be utterly outraged at the arrogant Marxist’s statement.

I have been preaching the danger of these radical left anti-coal and anti-nuke envirowhackos for years. Very few ever seem to listen, probably because power generation isn't a sexy subject. Many (even here) have been brainwashed that coal is "dirty".

Coal generating stations are not "dirty" anymore. That is a thing of the past. "Clean Coal" is a ruse to make you think that the present plants are "dirty".

Wake up America!!! Tomorrow may be your last chance to decide that coal (and nuclear) power are our best sources of freedom power. Solar and wind etc are not ready for prime time. Being forced to use renewables and abandoning coal is economic suicide.
