[Hoot Gibson]

I didn't say he agreed with, or even supported Obama. I didn't ask him. But, at least he was honest as to why they were laying off, and sitting on unmined coal.

It does not matter how many times you repeat the fact that companies have coal under permit that has not been mined yet, it will still be irrelevant to Obama's abuse of power in waging war against the coal industry. To read your silly and repetitious posts, one would think that companies should mine everything that they have under permit and then beg the government to issue them another permit. That is not how the system works and that has never been how the system worked. It would be like a factory running through all of its parts and raw materials and then just shutting down its assembly lines while its clerks ordered more parts.
