I am sure that the fact that many of the major contributors to his campaign threatened to withhold their contributions unless he came out in support of gay marriage had nothing to do with the President&#8217;s change in position. Well, now the President&#8217;s position on coal is evolving. It&#8217;s not about the donations&#8211;it&#8217;s about the results of the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Democratic_Party_%28United_States%29_presidential_primaries\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">Democrat primary<\/a> in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"West Virginia\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=39.0,-80.5&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=39.0,-80.5 (West%20Virginia)&amp;t=h\" rel=\"geolocation\" target=\"_blank\">West Virginia<\/a>.

Since the advent of supposed man-made global warming and the scare tactics that go with the theory, the Obama Administration has declared war on coal. This week, coal declared war on the Obama Administration. Coal-generated power plants are being targeted by the Obama Administration to be shut down&#8211;raising electric rates for everyone because there is as of yet no &#8216;green&#8217; alternative to <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Coal\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coal\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\">coal-fired<\/a> plants.<\/p>\n<p>The article at the Washington Examiner reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The <em>Hill<\/em> reported that he showed a<a href=\"http:\/\/webcache.googleusercontent.com\/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=cache:http:\/\/www.barackobama.com\/energy-info#!\/fuelefficiency\"> screenshot<\/a> of the Obama campaign\u2019s website that noted every other kind of fuel&#8211;but coal&#8211;in their all-of-the-above program.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>By this morning, presto, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barackobama.com\/energy-info#!\/cleancoal\">\u201cclean coal\u201d <\/a>is where \u201cfuel efficiency\u201d used to be. Clean coal refers to technology used to filter emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>West Virginia has maintained stable coal production and has shipped much of its coal to China, where coal-powered electric plants open every week. The people of West Virginia were simply voting according to the best interests of their state. It seems as if the President is now beginning to understand what those interests might be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=d2134d55-7e01-4434-aa9f-0ae8028ea18d\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Washington Examiner\u00a0posted an article on President Obama&#8217;s evolving positions.
