Fuel and energy costs have gone through the roof as well because of Mr. Obama's intense hatred of fossil fuel (which provides this country with over 90% of our energy) and his resulting anti-energy polices such as shutting down coal production in West Virginia, shutting down coal-fired plants around the nation, refusal to issue permits in the Gulf oil drilling region, refusal to build the Canadian XL pipeline, and his myriad other anti-energy policies.
After all, Mr. Obama stated before his election that "Under my plan ... electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." And they have. Mr. Obama's energy roosters have finally gone home to roost, and Longmont's turkeys have gone too. Just another consequence of Mr. Obama's anti-business, anti-energy, anti-economic and quite frankly, anti-American policies. Elections do have consequences. Remember that if you're inclined to vote for Mr. Obama for four more years in 2012. Our nation won't survive that if he's elected again.
Is this the same Butterball company that is selling ALL their turkeys HALAL (slaughtered in accordance with MOSLEM ‘tradition’?)
This was all over the news recently b/c of Thanksgiving.
If this is the same Butterball, I say good riddance.
Let them relocate their operation to Mecca and sell to their moslem buddies.
Add Butterball’s pride in offering Halal approved birds, to be PC...
Our grain and fuel prices will necessarily skyrocket for the good of AlGore and the promotion of BIG governemt.
The "science" is just an excuse, the goal is to collapse the system so Obama and company can build a Marxist paradise out of the rumble that was once the USA. Meanwhile the DOW sets new all time high as investors flee turkey futures.

Colorado. Might be a bit crazy there.
“Rumors have been rampant at the plant that Butterball isn’t planning on shutting down in Longmont permanently, the men said. Speaking through an interpreter, they said word has gone around since 2008 that Butterball wants to sever ties with the long-term employees at the plant — and the extra vacation time and benefits they have earned for their tenure — and start over with all new workers, non-union workers...”
You knew there would be a union angle in there somewhere, and an immigration angle....
Obama's energy policies have not even been implemented. The rise in fuel has largely been increased world demand, lead by India and China.
It should also be noted that corn prices have fallen back from the highs of several months ago, and commodities are still falling. Obama does have his hands in this though ... his continued support of European bailouts and no end in sight of US over-spending is making the commodity traders very nervous.
But there is no inflation Obama tells us.
Oh wait, they don't count fuel and food in the CPI.
Nevermind.
The piece blames a lot but fails to note the competition in a very competitive business.
Note that the company was sold by con Agra....... it was a loser.
The fact that some managers thought they could change the business does not relieve the competitive pressure. The plant is gone because it was incapable of making a profit. The blame on this and that is just that, failure to admit the reality. The plant could not compete.
It is not alone. Others have failed as well. The large companies will remain, the marginal will fail
