Mike Carey, president of the Ohio Coal Association (OCA), today issued the following statement in response to just-released remarks from Senator Barack Obama about the nation's coal industry. "Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America's coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it.

Not to mention the millions that benefit from the lower electrical bills provided by coal. Coal provides electrical power in 48 states.

I hope they didn’t early vote!

Word can spread like a tsunami in a matter of hours in this day and age.

Too bad some of them have already voted.

I wonder.... too bad this didn’t break on Friday. I know it’s all over Drudge, but who else is covering it?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Okay, the guy hates guns, voted against the infant born alive protection act in Illinois and hates coal. If this is not enough to swing Pa towards McCain/Palin, I don’t know if we’ll ever vote for a republican again.

[Ikemeister]

Obamatons all over the media trying to downplay Obama statements as “old news”.

Old news — yeah right. He said what he said during THIS election cycle.

[hoosiermama]

Excellant article. Hope they can get the word out to the miners not just the owners and suppliers.

[pepperhead]

That is why we should put a end to early voting and have only one "election day".

[Travis T. OJustice]

I really hope this is getting airplay outside of our conservative circle.

"I hope they didn’t early vote!"

I don't know how early voting works, but I'm pretty sure if you voted with an absentee ballot and then vote on election day, the absentee ballot is thrown out. It doesn't matter anyways. I think most of the early voting was rabid Obama supporters so that they have time on election day to go out and intimidate the rest of us. Remember, Barry told them to get in our face.

I just emailed Mr. Carey to voice my appreciation and support. You can, too, if you like at mcarey@ohiocoal.com. I am sure he would appreciate it.
