One way to know if the words out of politician's mouths are sincere, or spin, is to listen to what the affected industry says.
Murray Energy [1], in front of its local NEO corporate offices, has a number of lawn signs which read "Stop the war on Coal - FIRE OBAMA"
This sign - being placed in the public eye by Murray Energy, a 30 million ton a year hi-sulfer bituminous coal producer, is encouraging.
The sign tells me that President Obama is not talking from both sides of his mouth - Mr. Obama is truly disliked by the high sulfer bituminous coal producers.
That's good.
That's confirmation that Obama is not spinning the story between his public constiuents and the corporate coal lobby.
And thank you Murray Energy, and Mr. Robert E. Murray [2]for having the strength of character to put your opinion out on the curb. Although I am negative on coal, I am positive on your honest expression.
