Vice President of the West Virginia Coal Association, calls Obama "unbelievable"
The Vice President of the West Virginia Coal Association, calls Obama "unbelievable" and "a very uninformed voice and perspective to coal specifically and energy generally." Ben Beakes, director of the McCain West Virginia campaign says of the coal-hating Obama/Biden ticket, "This is an attitude and view that, to me, shows their hatred of coal. And therefore, their view would cost West Virginians thousands upon thousands of jobs."
