Coal King had enough..calls Obama “righteously mad”!! (enemy, radical, environmentalists)

[J.Thomas]

Robert Murray is no fan of Barack Obama.

Murray, you’re reminded, is the CEO of Murray Energy. Earlier this year, the company laid off 21% of its employees, with the majority of the cuts coming in West Virginia, which was staring down a $195 million budget gap thanks to the slide in coal prices.

Around two months after the job cuts, Murray spoke to Republicans at the Lincoln Day Dinner and let it all out. The 75-year old told lawmakers he was “righteously mad” at the President, who he says is on a "bizarre personal and political" quest to destroy not only the coal industry, but the entire country. “Radical environmentalists, liberal elitists, [and] Hollywood characters" aren’t helping, he added, for good measure.

Who named him "Coal King"?

This struck me as totally ridiculous and in line with that of modern insane liberal judges.

In October, Murray was fined $5,000 by the FEC for violating election spending rules when he spent $22,000 buying signs that read "Fire Obama."



1st amendment anyone?

He wasn't fined for the signs themselves, but for not following the rules related to campaign spending that eveyone else must follow. He was fined for campaign related spending without disclosing who paid for the signs and not filing the spending with the FEC.
