I wonder what the coal miners union has to say? Are they proud of backing Obama in 2008?

Election 2008 results in PA: 0bama 55% - McCain 44%

You voted for this Pennsylvania. You better change course in 2012 or you are through, along with the rest of us!

The coal unions will still give 95% of their money to Ohbummer. They could care less about their workers.

Obama told us he intended to get rid of the coal companies before he was elected president. And still they voted for him.

Yep, there were so many here that did.

Senate candidate Tom Smith needs to hammer this home. We need that Senate seat, along with the Presidency.

Yet I still see a lot of 0bamphiles around. Guess you just can’t fix stupid everywhere but lets just pray that it’s been fixed enough.

and with less industrial size coal made, the byproduct of home heating size coal will cost more now hitting those who can least afford the increase...

I hope they remember why they’re out of work and who put them there November 6th.

Looks like “disability” is all they have left. Oh well, Pelosi says they will have more time to learn how to play the guitar, paint pictures of flowers and fruit and write poems.

So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them...

Well, shucks. We thought he was just funnin' us all. We didn't think the Messiah actually meant what he said...

IIRC OB made a statement during the 2008 campaign that he would put coal companies out of business. Anyone have this quote? It was in a TV interview.

I remember that. I just don't remember exactly when or who he said it to - maybe a speach?

I can’t believe OB will campaign in any coal producing state. Might show up in Philly to visit his poll security guys at the Black Panther Hdq.

Until landowners are given legal rights, I hope all coal companies shut down.

Let’s be a little fair to the EPA, (okay maybe not), but I think the natural gas prices are having an effect too.

I loved my coal stove. Wasn’t good at getting it to last all night, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

The quote was made on January 18th, 2008 with the San Francisco Chronicle. It wasn’t made public by the San Francisco Chronicle until November 2, 2008.

Are we surprised they would sit on it that long?

Anyone?

Every company should lay off workers beginning in September. They can all ways make due with fewer workers.

The electorate needs to feel real, deep pain
