The overwhelming victory by President-elect Barack Obama (D-Ill.) signals a new day for American coal miners and all working families throughout our nation, United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) International President Cecil E. Roberts said today.
President-elect Obama has been consistent in his support for working families and our issues throughout his career, Roberts said. He has made it clear that as President, he will continue that support and will make our needs his priorities.
He will invest in the future of coal in America, Roberts said

“What would it take to open their eyes???”
Nothing. PA is a lost cause, as is Michigan. That’s what Democrat control does. I think Ohio is going to follow along shortly. The Upper Midwest is history.
“News on the wires is layoffs are now mounting and the market is going down again today.”
Well, people are also going to start taking the penalties and pulling out their 401k’s if the rumor that Congress is going to control them continues to persist.
It’s not just O’s supporters, it’s Dems & Liberals, in general. Go back into the Clinton years and read their words one Hussein & their WMD programs. And look at the videos of Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, et al, insisting that there’s no problem with Fannie Mae.
Time after time after time, they act as if they did not say these things. And time after time after time, squishy, toothless Republicans and their accomplices in the MSM let them get away with it.
We didn’t deserve to lose this election, but timid, moderate Republicans sure did.
If zer0 puts Junior in charge of the EPA, the only use for a lump of coal will be as a doorstop.
Haha! If it wasn’t so tragic, it is going to be amazing to watch all the groups who support Obama slowly realize over the course of his Presidency that he doesn’t have their interests in mind.
Ah, he said he would bankrupt your industry
Well, that’s what happend to a factory close to my home in western PA.
Built with help from Germany to make VW’s
Between the unions and affirmative action the productivty was low and plant closed
Then the Japanese bought it (SONY)- that also failed
I think the Chinese are making something there now- ?
My perpetually underachieving democrat union brother who hasn’t worked steadily since VW left in the 1980’s blames it all on George Bush. He’s one getting a donated goat for Christmas
“So either Hussein was lying to his buddies in San Francisco or he was lying to the coal miners.
Either way, he is a liar.”

Indeed. Clintonesque.
In the end it is the rich hippies in SF who will end up being lied to. Obama will have succeeeded in making a “courageous” and “hip”, radical statement to the clueless California EnviroFasacists, but in the end he will be forced to do the pragmatic thing and leave KingCoal alone.
The ESSENTIAL component on which The Zero can count on for consistent, unwavering support is full LeftMedia cover and justification for his two-faced behavior.
I work in the defense electronics industry. I tell people that the dems want to cut military spending by 25%. Barny Fwank said so. Their jobs are in danger. They still voted for the Zero.......
Apparently, Cecil has died of brain failure. His body just doesn’t realize it.
Turkeys on the farm hail new Mid-November double feedings-finally were getting some respect around here, one says
BINGO! Great analogy to the lib dims nobama voters. Am nominating for best post of 2008.
Nuclear plant!
No, I am saying that these Union thugs should get what they deserve.
They promoted a guy that said he would bankrupt the coal industry. Biden said he was against coal. What more do you need to hear before you stop supporting someone?
Then to put out a press release like that...
People in Western PA were called racists, rednecks, and retards yet they still vote for Murtha and Barack!
You've got one, too?.......;^)
Come on ... China has total estimated coal deposits of 4,490 billion tons.
Why would they import from the US?
Yep .... starting soon you won't have to go to work anymore.
yes, the old Chrysler New Stanton plant, er, ah I mean the old VW plant, er, ah I mean the old SONY plant. I wouldn’t count on that plant re opening anytime soon with “card check” coming. Any company looking to put a plant anywhere is going to go to a right to work state.
Unions are a basic form of Socialism so they (the UNION) will like an Obama even though he has promised to destroy the industry the supposedly represent.
