Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) - <em>The Hill </em>Op-ed, 09/20/12 03:18 PM ET</p> <p>President Obama’s war on coal is real. Don’t believe us? Come to Brilliant, Ohio or Clay, West Virginia and we’ll show you coal mines that were closed as a result of <strong>President Obama’s</strong> <strong>assault on hardworking Americans who work in the coal industry</strong>. Coal is a cheap, abundant, and reliable source of power. Almost 90% of Ohio’s power comes from coal and just across the Ohio River in West Virginia, over 95% of its power comes from coal. Needless to say, coal plays a vital role in not only powering the Buckeye and Mountain states, but coal generates nearly half of America’s electricity. <strong>So why would President Obama want to destroy such a vital part of America’s economy?</strong></p> <p>President Obama’s war on coal is nothing new. Even before President Obama took the oath of office, he was pretty clear with his plans for America’s coal industry<strong>. In 2008, then-candidate Obama said to the San Francisco Chronicle, “So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them.”</strong> If there’s one thing we can say about the Obama Administration, when it comes to assaulting the coal industry, its actions match its words.</p> <p>Since taking office, President Obama and his <strong>extreme EPA</strong> have issued new rules and regulations that are crippling the coal industry In the weeks following President Obama’s inauguration, his administration was already in the process of rewriting the Stream Buffer Zone Rule – a rule that took 5 years to codify under the previous administration[....]</p> </blockquote> <p>See, here's an example of the narrative,  how it works when done skillfully, that of  how government kills good paying jobs for <em>hardworking</em> people furnished by private business (those people who were making good pay and paying taxes and can't no more, <em>because of</em> government <em>purposefully </em>killing businesses.) That government regulations kill the economy and the good jobs .It's all cut, dried, and delivered in a very fancy looking package with lots of references to policy, laws, and quotes from Obama. Not just general non-specific ranting like from Mitt . And need I point out that this narrative is conveniently happening in swing states? <img alt="wink" height="20" src="http://dagblog.com/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.gif" title="wink" width="20" /></p> </div></div></div> Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:31:24 +0000 artappraiser comment 164747 at http://dagblog.com I think to really reach http://dagblog.com/comment/164706#comment-164706 <a id="comment-164706"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/164676#comment-164676">Yup, your cousin Eddie is</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">I think to really reach cousin E.
