Obama is going to carbon cap you Kool-Aid drinkers into bankruptcy!
Unions towing the Democrat line.
The Coal Workers Union is nothing more than a political arm of the DNC.
They care nothing at all about the coal workers they represent, or the industry.
They just collect mandatory dues and act as a Howard Dean mouthpiece.
No this dope is however. It is clear from bidens statements as well as his O ness , coal is yesterdays news. Good luck suckers..
Idiots. They deserve what they have comong to them...
This is typical of union thug behavior. The unions do not put their members’ true interests first.
***Unions towing the Democrat line***
The union bosses will always have a job with 0.
They will make the transition to his “civilian protection force.”
They’re working off a deficiency in the Rush/Drudge driven reporting of the tape—which looks at invective about coal companies, instead of Obama’s comments about how everyone’s rates will go up.
Everyone. They are words served on a silver platter. Yet the media types narrow their focus to coal industry “everyone” is not connected to, and ephemeral apologies for plutocrats, capitalism—as if Cap and Trade isn’t “capitalism.”
The Miners’ union is also trying to work in a clean coal argument which is exactly NOT what Obama was talking about. He was talking about Cap and Trade.
Union Bosses, Community Organizers, Is there any difference?
I think the most important quote from that interview applies to everyone...not just coal miners:
“Under my plan, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket.”
Ah yes, union members are union members 1st and have an obligation to vote straight dem party ticket no matter what they have to swallow or give up.
I know this doesn’t exactly qualify as Breaking News but it’s so late in the game it needs to be brought out.
OH PLEASE!!! It is sad how these liberals will actually defend Obama on everything, even though it is obvious what he was saying!
Does this guy read or watch the news?????? Someone send him the tape fast he’s lost his mine!!!!
This guy is truly an idiot.
Of course, if you want to sequester the carbon, you leave the coal in the ground. But that was his intent anyway, never mind the electricity that will not be generated.
My dad was a coal miner for 40 years and he was totally disgusted with the union. The UMWA would cut of it’s nose to spite it’s face. The would go on strike for the dumbest things. Probably the worst thing he told me was that they went on strike because there was no soap in the showers.
He hated the union, but you had to tow the line if you wanted to work. This was back in the 50’s and 60’s. It appears that not much has changed.
