Your question is what this thread is about.

How can you continue to not understand?

Obama is behind the hold on EPA permits. There is coal to be mined, the companies just don't have the permission to mine the coal because of the permit hold. Coal operations that have mined all the coal from their previous permits have no coal left to mine and are left with mountains of coal ready to be mined, but can't mine it due to ignorance (the permit hold). Therefore, workers have to be laid off in order for the overall company to keep a positive profit.

You have asked time and time again, "What has Obama done?". Obama has done nothing but make the economy worse so far.

I have a good question for you that I would appreciate a straight-forward answer to....

You say that Bush got us into this mess, What has Obama done to get us out??????

It's just been 3 months, you think he can straighten out 8 years of mess in 3 months? If there is a question the EPA has on what's going into the water, I'm for it. Maybe they should clean up their act to where there isn't a question about it. The one guy out in Western KY said they are hiring out there, maybe they are doing it right. I have heard about mines getting inspected for years for shoddy operations, don't act like it's something new.
