Obama's War on Coal gives federal inmate 40 percent of vote

"Affordable Energy Means American Jobs"

I've written many times about President Obama's War on Coal. It's real and West Virginia Democrats know it. Yesterday a federal inmate, Keith Judd, garnered 40 percent of the vote in yesterday's Mountain State primary. The jailbird won nine counties, including Mingo, the heart of West Virginia's coal country.

Four years ago Obama vowed to bankrupt any energy firm who dared to build a coal-powered plant. West Virginia's governor and his predecessor, US Sen. Joe Manchin--both of whom are Democrats--have not said if they will endorse Obama for reelection.

Last week  West Virginia Republican US Rep. David McKinley, wrote a letter to the EPA's inspector general. In response to the infamous crucifixion comments from former EPA senior administrator Al Armendariz, McKinley is "requesting that you investigate the actions by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, her Assistant Administrators, and Regional Administrators against coal, gas and oil companies."

President Obama started the War on Coal--and West Virginians are fighting back.
