At least one state coal industry leader said he was shocked by comments Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made earlier this year concerning his plan to aggressively charge polluters for carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. "What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there," Obama said in a Jan. 17 interview..

If you want to contact the Pennsylvania media (and others) about BO’s coal comments, here’s a list of Pennsylvania and MSM links. Go to the site for Colorado, Virginia, United Mine Workers

Do you guys think this will actually pull union votes from Zero? I live in an area that isn’t saturated by that BS, so I was wondering what you folks up there think...

To answer your question; YES! My daddy used to say: “Mess with a man’s wife, you might live to tell about it but don’t mess with a man’s job”.

I think that Fox News sign should be changed. But I use the same reference to the three monkeys in my article on the LA Times situation. Rough language here.

Look at the states where the largest coal deposits are. You betcha it could pull union votes from O. That is, if the news gets out there and it’s starting to.

Union bosses will have a tough time exhorting workers to vote Obama with this fresh in their minds.

Let’s see: he doesn’t want coal. He doesn’t want foreign oil. He doesn’t want drilling here for oil or natural gas. He doesn’t want nuclear power. What else is there?
