Manchin: Obama Wrong to Pick Winners and Losers When it Comes to Energy

Manchin grills Energy Secretary Chu on rationale for slashing funding for clean coal technology research when the Administration projects fossil fuels will provide more than 60 percent of our energy for decades to come

You are so full of shit. Manchin is a crook and only has his business buds in his interest. He stole billions from federal workers by freezing their wages for 2 straight years so they didn't get a cost of living increase. Manchin is history and you will see come election time.

This must be an old story...how long has Manchin been a Senator? Longer than since 2/16/2012.

I've been writing him letters of complaint longer than that. Of course he defends his votes but once Obama is reelected and Manchin gets a 6-year term I think he will side with Obama.

manchin is a joke he is a flip flopper who got a free master degree for his daughter but then he got caught

Maybe my letters have done some good as Manchin voted for Obama's "Buffett rule" that would force taxpayers who earn over $1 million a year to pay at least a 30% tax rate. On the other hand, 60% of the American people favor this rule so maybe his polling shows that a majority of West Virginians do also.

Good question.Any way we vote we will have another republician senator.It took west virginians a long time to realize that ole Joe is a DINO,(Democrat in name only).He is totally owned by coal.The G.O.P.should remember that the D.E.P was started under Nixon.They are just doing their job, trying to protect the environment.They are not out to destroy coal.They just want the coal barons to spend a little of their profits on building cleaner plants and mine coal with out destroying the enviornment.Of course spending money is anathema to them.They wont tell you that we exported more coal last year than any time in history.Too bad we can't find a real Democrat to run vs Manchin.

What happened Truth, Joe knock you off your worker's comp gravy train and you still mad about it. Or are you just a pathetic loser who cant stand to see anyone else succeed. Barrack Obama said it himself that he will bankrupt anyone who builds a coal fired power plant and his own head of the dept. of energy wants to eleminate the use of fossil fuels. If you can not see that as a war on coal, then you really are a damn fool. Even that damn lying fool Cecil Roberts said that Lisa Jackson (head of the EPA, figured you were too damn dumb to know who she is) has shot the coal industry. At least Manchin is trying to stand up to Obama and the EPA, while Rahall and Rockefeller have their head so far up Obama's ass that if he farted he would gas both of them to death. Maybe we should send Obama some beans and rid our state of those two pieces of trash. You are beyond stupid.

Pig you are the perfect republican,racist,homophobic,m ysogynistic,hypocrite ignorant hater of the poor.you are probably a fat rich slob that obviosly has nothing to do put spout your hate on this forum by calling people names in language that demonstrates your limited vocabulary.For your info I unlike you have never received workers comp, unemployment,or welfare.

Oh so you are just a bitter person who has never acomplished anything and resent those who have. I knew you had to be one or the other. My limited vocabulary - that is hilarouse; since your vocabulary is only parroting democaratic talking points and dumbass hick attitudes against anyone who tries to better themselves. Like I said before, those of your ilk has held this state back from its very inception.

We the people lost our representation when Sen. Byrd passed away.

OMG, it will take the state of WV 50 years to recover from the damage done by Robert Byrd. He made the whole state believe that we couldnt do anything without the federal government. Not to mention that the man was so egotisitcal that he would not give up his office long after he was unable to do his job.

3.14 =pie mmm pie.Peach cobbler#5.

He is jumping ship after learning about Larry Sinclair?(The Puffer)

Are you satisfied with your new change? In a few years of Obama we will be begging for food just like North Korea.He is running us into the ground. Check on Obamas latest friend (Larry Dinclair). At leat Bill Clinton liked Women.

Larry Sinclair

Truth, I made a typo. kind of funny since you made one in replying to mine. No I am in no way bitter. I just dont suffer fools very well. But now you bore me and i will move on. No, I am not on social security.

Why wasn't Manchin held accountable for the deaths of 29 miners who died on his watch? His administrationn's lack of enforcing safety rules was the causative factor. Now he's suing EPA who wants to protect us from lung diseases. He is a criminal.
