WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will deliver the eulogy Sunday for the 29 miners who died in a coal mine explosion earlier this month.

The service, announced today by West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, will be held in Beckley, W.Va., and will include prayers, musical performances, tributes to the miners, and remarks from Mr. Manchin and other dignitaries.

Vice President Joe Biden will join the president to participate in the service, according to a White House news release issued today.

The service will be held at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center, at 200 Armory Drive in Beckley, at 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Seats are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interesting, I wonder if he will elaborate on how his clean renewable energy economy will alleviate the need for all these Coal miners to have to risk their lives digging coal and remind them that HCR will drive a need for more brain surgeons so all of the miners can get jobs doing that instead, right?

Perfect time for more shout outs and to plug cap and trade.

Guaranteed he’ll do it.

Wow. What a great guy.

Let’s try to forget the fact that rather than attend the funeral of a world leader of a nation that is one of our truest allies — OBAMMIE THE COMMIE DECIDED TO PLAY GOLF.

He will only do that which helps him politically or enables him to push his agenda — in this case, IMHO, he will exploit the deaths of these miners to push his agenda of putting the union in every company in America.

Which, by the way, is one of the first steps of Syndicalism, which is the economic/industrial model preferred and implemented by Mussolini.

Too bad that he will be using the deaths of 29 men for political grandstanding.

President Barack Obama will deliver the eulogy Sunday for the 29 miners who died in a coal mine explosion earlier this month...WOW - newfound sympathy for the miners - wonder where it was when he was bragging that he was going to "bankrupt the coal companies" just a year or so ago.......

“It was supposed to be the coal industry that died, not these poor, bitter men whose only sin was clinging to their guns and religion.”

Right...Obama might say if he had his way, there would be no more senseless deaths in coal mines even if he has to bankrupt the coal industry to prevent them.

What about that “separation of church and state” thing?

The absolute worst possibility for a memorial service....having the great enemy of mankind come to speak. If I were a family member I would not go. I’m serious. I would not go. How could anybody sit there in grief and listen to that obnoxious zip wad?

This a$$ has never done an honest day’s work in his life. This is a slap in the face of these hard working men and their families.

Oh yeah, you just watch. He’s going to blame Bush for not enforcing the MINER Act and tougher penalties.

He “inherited” that mine, you know...

Having the President come read canned words from a teleprompter, and call it a eulogy.

Nifty.
