He did. He declared war on coal. It wiped out jobs all over West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, & Southern Ohio. There was billboards that read: “Obama no job zone” Obama flipped a dyed in the wool democrat state to deep red because of that & gun control. A prison inmate beat Obama who somehow got himself on the presidential ballot for West Virginia. So, yes, Obama takes the most credit for the deep job losses here, & it’s not going to be forgotten soon. Not just me.
The last 2 years has been prenominal for my business. My income has tripled. I’m out of debt, & building homes & selling them. The difference in this area has been like night & day, but hey, let’s hear how coal isn’t coming back, & its dead.
The coal trains are running all the time out of WV into Ohio like before, my brother in law was told the plant he works at that was slated to close is not now, & he will get to work till retirement.
You can make light of it if you like, we know how condescending the left is toward flyover country. We won’t vote for them any more. I once did, no more.
The growth here under Obama was in welfare, food stamps, suicides, & U-Haul. Now it’s real jobs, & higher pay. It was malaise under Obama, & then Hillary came to Ashland Ky., & said she was going to do as Obama, put coal jobs & the coal industry under.
It wasn’t just coal, it was a myriad of support industries, & retail jobs that went away. Entire towns basically went off the map, & it might have not been so badly seen if Obama had even faked like he cared what happened to us here. He was just condescending & arrogant, uncaring, & flippant.
But hey, the democrats is the party who “cares”…
