Why is Obama in Trouble ? I'll tell you my experience today.
I am a Union Boilermaker. I played the party line last election.

After a very long summer low in work, i finally got called for a job. I decided this morning on the drive in, i would not bring up politics. unlike here ,i have to see these guys every day for the next few months.

I didn't need to bring it up, it was the talk of the day. 15 men and not one for Obama.

All had watched the debate and the statement by Romney about his love of coal won every man. I was Surprised and shocked. We work on power plants and Obama's war on coal has already affected our lives !!

Not one, No one "on the fence" not one.

I won't be on here as much for awhile ( long drive , many hours) but I'll keep you posted.

The Coal Mining Union for the first time has not endorsed the Democrats. When Men are working and providing for their family's honestly a lot don't vote cause their working. Not This Time !!!! Just like me their mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

Thanks for the update, and please do vote. We all really need the change. Coal is the backbone of our power supply in this country, and Obama can only intend to weaken us by destroying that. We're still mining coal now, but we are shipping it to China by boat! China likes our coal enough that they are willing to pay the shipping cost.

Re: Why is Obama in Trouble ? I'll tell you my experience today.
Major pisser for me about Obama & coal too. Those coal mines and coal plants are in some of the most economically depressed areas of our country and the people need the jobs and the electricity. Using EPA regulations to shut them down over some stupid cap and trade carbon tax derivative trading scheme is not only anti-American it lacks common sense. I support Romney, but neo-con rule and Israeli ass kissing makes me sick of both sides.

If everybody votes for Romney, Obama will still win. He is fixing the election. He has a company in sinking Spain that is going to count the votes, and they will report that stinky BO wins not matter how big a landslide Romney wins by. This is why the Associated Press just stated that they will not do exit polls in 19 states. For if they did, the cheating would be obvious. Now, without the exit polls, the votes that Spain counts will show BO as the winner; and there is nothing anybody can do about it but start a civil war. Don't get caught with your panties down. Lock and load. The UN is coming for you and your guns; as the USA slips and slides into communism.

BB, what a great thing to hear about.

This thing about killing the coal industry was the second thing I heard about Obammy that absolutely floored me.

There is no reason to kill it.

I am a union member who stepped outside the union because I can't support anything that supports obama.

Re: Why is Obama in Trouble ? I'll tell you my experience today.
My career is at the other end of the coal fired electrical business. I meter primary and secondary lines for our customers. So thanks for keeping the plants up and running.

The thing that pisses me off about my union (IBEW) is they always promote Democrats and support them with my union dues. If ever there was a war waged against our jobs it is now and by the very people who we are lead to support.

My fellow workers see past the b.s. Thank God.

ETA...My company has been getting rid of people lately. Has a lot to do with the ridiculous EPA standards and the time they gave us to get it done. The technology doesn't even exist yet.

Re: Why is Obama in Trouble ? I'll tell you my experience today.
The only union workers that might have had some gains from Obama are the auto workers. The rest are mostly out of jobs with no jobs in sight.

People need and want full time work and all he talks about are the part time jobs that people have been getting this year. It takes two or even three part time jobs just to provide the bare minimum for a family.

Thanks to his no drilling policies, the price of a gallon of gas is going through the roof along with the price of everything we use that gets trucked in anywhere. So we can all expect the price of all foods and household necessities to rise every week as well.

Don't know if Romney can do better, but at least he does know something about running a business and keeping people employed.
