Kentucky GOP Senatorial Candidate Rand Paul had some harsh words for President Obama. Paul claims President Obama cares nothing about Kentucky and has EPA stifling coal mining permits.
Paul claimed Obama “cares nothing about Kentucky and cares even less about Kentucky coal.”
“We have a president who is forcing the EPA down our throats,” Paul said. “Even without changing the rules, the EPA is stifling the permit process and people (are) out of work here because of the president and his policies.
Rand Paul made the comments at a coal appreciation event in Knott County, KY Saturday. Paul is on solid ground in his criticism of President Obama's dislike of the coal industry. Senator Obama told the SF Chronicle, in January of 2008, his Cap and Trade plan would bankrupt anyone who wanted to build a coal-powered plant.
Paul's Democratic opponent, Jack Conway, claims he is also opposed to Cap and Trade. News reports indicate he has previously been a supporter of Obama's plan to destroy the coal industry.
