Nick Rahall: How Ironic
Nick Rahall: How Ironic
How ironic that today Nick Rahall will join Obama Administration officials from the National Park Service to open the restored Nuttallburg coal mining town to New River Gorge National River park visitors.
The Obama Administration is actively working to make all West Virginia coal mining towns like Nuttallburg – a thing of the past – and Nick Rahall continues to support Obama.
As you cover Nick Rahall’s attendance at the opening today, and his support for President Obama who is waging an unmitigated war on West Virginia’s energy industry, consider the following quote:
NRCC Comment:“President Obama wants all of West Virginia’s coal industry to become like Nuttallburg – a relic of the past – and Nick Rahall is standing by his side. The President’s war on energy is destroying West Virginia jobs, and Nick Rahall is his biggest cheerleader in the state. – NRCC Spokesman Nat Sillin
REMEMBER: May 2, 2012 Rahall: “I’m supporting Democrats this November, and that includes the Democratic nominee for president.”
