Well, we KNEW that, he warned us back in 2008 that was his plan....I guess people didn't believe him. That's ONE promise kept, huh?

Coal only provides like 40% of this nation's energy.

WV Democratic Governor Not Backing Obama | CNSNews.com

Quote:
West Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said he is not endorsing President Barack Obama for re-election, saying the president “has apparently made it his mission to drive the backbone of West Virginia’s economy, coal and the energy industry, out of business.”
Here's the gist of obama's problem with his anti-business, anti-coal agenda.

Quote:
Of potential significance is West Virginia’s proximity, bordering three key battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

You read, surely, that he's not backing the other guy either.

Just keeping it fair and balanced.

But, wait, there's more.

XFINITY - W.Va. Gov. Tomblin keeping Obama at arms' length

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin joined U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin on Wednesday in the list of top West Virginia Democratic officeholders keeping their distance from President Barack Obama, saying that neither the Democratic incumbent nor the presumed Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, has earned his vote.

Tomblin faulted Romney for "supporting policies that will end Medicare and Social Security as we know it," echoing a Democratic attack on the former Massachusetts governor.
"His policies will put more burdens on West Virginia families who are simply trying to make ends meet," Tomblin said.

But Tomblin also continued his repeated criticisms of Obama's approach to coal-related issues. West Virginia is the nation's second-biggest producer of this fossil fuel. The administration believes that burning coal is hurting the environment by releasing carbon dioxide and the latest evidence shows that process is linked to climate change. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, meanwhile, has repeatedly sparred with the mining industry Clean Water Act-related permits.

Looks like it's lose-lose for WVA.
