Progressive general Obama's self declared war on coal is using the EPA to effectively destroy the US coal industry.

Actions have consequences.  The war on the US coal industry is also threatening to cost him the election through the loss of the electoral votes of the coal states like Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

As this article states:

  "Unwittingly, the Administration has opened a Pandora’s Box of vehement antagonism by a number of “swing states” that harbor significant coal mining facilities. Although West Virginia is well-known for its dominant coal-mining sector, along with “hard coal” anthracite Eastern Pennsylvania production sites, as well as Montana, Ohio, and even Northwest Virginia have maintained coal mining production for well over 100 years.

An outcry of “indiscriminate” shutting down of the total coal sector by the Administration is being heard louder ever day, as valuable jobs are being lost in areas where coal mining was the one well-paid employee-retaining sector.

Since which Party controls the electoral votes of the aforementioned swing states is favored to win the presidency on November 6, the EPA could well cost President Obama the re-election."

And let's face it, the war on coal is just one part of General Obama's wider war on the US itself.
