HUSSEIN OBAMA KEEPING HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE (MUST SEE LINK)

Along with these three plants there are three more in eastern Ohio that will close due to the same ruling and rationale. If this continues he will achieve his goal of rolling blackouts across the eastern US, for which he will then blame the eevil greedy energy companies.

[FormerACLUmember]

Democratic Party scumbags putting West Virginians out of work, making electricity more expensive, and destroying the economy.

Obama and his crew must really really hate America.

[ArchAngel1983]

I have two questions (rhetorical, of course!)

How will the MSM spin this into a positive for Obama and how will Obama blame Republicans when people start freezing to death in the winter and suffering heat stroke in the summer?

[GlockThe Vote]

Santorum can reach these people.

[prisoner6]

So how do we recharge our $280,000+ Chevy Volts?

[stockpirate]

Great news, Coal unions voted and supported Obama, let them reap the harvest they have sown.

[Rudder]

...there are three more in eastern Ohio that will close due to the same ruling and rationale.

Folks here in Eastern Ohio would rather Obama fall off the planet...but thanks to Cleveland and other urban slime dwellers, he still prevails.

[reg45]

How much of Washington, DC’s power is provided by these plants? I think that a “blackout” or at least a “brownout” of DC is in order.

FirstEnergy closing 6 coal-fired power plants (Ohio)
http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/ohio-news/firstenergy-closing-6-coal-fired-power-plants-1318908.html

FirstEnergy Corp. said Thursday that new environmental regulations led to a decision to shut down six older, coal-fired power plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland

So...tally is running at 9 so far....Ohio, Pa, Maryland and now WV....

[Despot of the Delta]

I think it’s time for American business to ignore anything coming from the EPA and the federal government and dare them to stop’em.

[EBH]

An Ohio-based utility announced Thursday that it is shutting three Lake Erie coal plants and all but one unit at another, a move that will scrap some of the biggest fish killers along the Great Lakes... http://www.chicagotribune.com/site/newspaper/news/ct-nw-power-plant-shutdowns-20120127,0,3096384.story

That’s how...

Yep. West Virginia voted for an open racist Senator for 50+ years.

They knew what they were getting.

[ArchAngel1983]

" That’s how..."

Yeah, but no one is freezing to death . . . yet. When they start, I doubt too many will be concerned about fish, Global Warming, or any other liberal cause de jour.

[GeronL]

West Virginia will still probably go to the Democrats

[4yearlurker]

Union voters=monumental stupidity.

[Red6]

Obama’s goal is to make the US consume less of the worlds resources since we're to wasteful.

Soon we'll consume water like in Sudan.

We'll use electricity like a North Korean.

We'll consume food like an Ethiopian.

Our CO2 output we'll be much lower and we can be more like the rest of the world.

[SengirV]

United Mine Workers told all their rank and file to vote for Obama as well. How’s that working out for them now?

[BobL]

“Santorum can reach these people.”

I agree, but I was thinking more of the Senate seat and getting this fraud out of there.

[TennTuxedo]

West Virginians are just like Jewish voters, in the pockets of the Democrats.
