Just go to my Obama and start reading and scrolling.

"EPA clears the way for mountain blasts; Mining decision disappoints critics, environmentalists" by Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten, Los Angeles Times | May 31, 2009
WASHINGTON - With the election of Barack Obama, environmentalists had expected to see the end of the "Appalachian apocalypse" - their name for exposing coal deposits by blowing the tops off of whole mountains.
But in recent weeks, the administration has quietly made a decision to open the way for at least two dozen more mountaintop removals.....
The industry said the practice of using explosives to blast away a peak is safer and more efficient than traditional shaft mining. But critics say the process scars the landscape and dumps tons of waste - some of it toxic - into streams and valleys.
Aren't we supposed to be getting off coal anyway because of the fart-misters?
Yeah, 'bamer is FOR YOU, Americans -- and remember, THIS was CENSORED from my paper (keep in mind for next article).
The administration's decision is not the final word on the projects or the future of mountaintop removal as a whole. But the letter, coupled with the light it sheds on relations between the mining industry and the Obama White House, has disappointed environmentalists. Some say they feel betrayed....
All I can say is GO to the BACK of the LINE!! Us ANTIWAR FOLK are FIRST!!!!!!
The issue is politically sensitive because environmentalists were an active force behind Obama's election....
Well, he's TUCKING IT to US ALL, soooooo...
And GUESS WHO is BEHIND IT ALL?
Coal advocates have solicited help from officials as high as White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel....
Oh, the Mega Man??
Shortly after his inauguration, Obama won praise from the green lobby for taking a skeptical view of the mining process.... Although environmentalists had expected the new administration to put the brakes on mountaintop removal, mining advocates have pointed out that Obama did not promise to end the practice and was more open to it than his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain of Arizona.
WHAAAAAAATTTT?
Boy, did YOU FART-MISTERS -- whom I AGREE WITH HERE -- really gots TOOK by 'bamer!
And remember, readers, THAT ARTICLE DID NOT APPEAR in my PRINTED PAPER! WTF?!!!
But THIS DID!!!!
"Agencies target mountaintop mining" by Associated Press | June 12, 2009
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration yesterday announced steps to reduce the environmental destruction caused in six states by mountaintop coal mining....
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I am STUNNED -- yes, even this foul-mouthed jaded old fool -- is STUNNED by the DECEPTION and SPIN!
Yup, that's my jewspaper TELLING ME the WHOLE TRUTH!!!
Oh, and here is ONE MORE KICKER for the TRANSPARENT PRESIDENCY!
"Locations of coal ash sites kept secret" by Associated Press | June 13, 2009
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration has decided to keep secret the locations of nearly four dozen coal ash storage sites that pose a threat to people living nearby.
The Environmental Protection Agency classified the 44 sites as potential hazards to communities while investigating storage of coal ash waste after a spill at a Tennessee power plant in December. The classification means the waste sites could cause death and significant property damage if an event such as a storm, a terrorist attack, or a structural failure caused them to spill. The sites have existed for years with little or no federal regulation.
The Army Corps of Engineers in a letter dated June 4 told the EPA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency that the public should not be alerted to the whereabouts of the sites because it would compromise national security....
What, the PEOPLE might KNOW the GOVERNMENT is PUTTING THEM at RISK of being POISONED?!!!!
Yeah, same old, same old, just in a slicker package, 'murka!
