Climate change 'squirrel'? Desperate admin pushes job-killing War on Coal

President Obama is scheduled to deliver a “climate change” address at Georgetown University today. Squirrel shout-out!

I haven't seen anything more pathetic than @BarackObama's desperate effort with this Climate Change speech. Its a squirrel in a wheelchair

The most important issue facing us is Global Topic Change.

Ahead of the speech, the Weekly Standard shared this quote from Daniel P. Schrag, White House climate adviser:

The one thing the president really needs to do now is to begin the process of shutting down the conventional coal plants. Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.

Brilliant messaging!

So, a renewed effort in the War on Coal Jobs is the best “SQUIRREL!” the admin could come up with? Or does Obama just realize this may be his last chance to make energy rates “necessarily skyrocket” before scandals completely cripple his administration? Either way, pathetic.

Oh, and newsflash: Conservatives can push back against the War on Coal and keep up the pressure on amnesty, scandalpalooza and plenty more.

People don't realize how many jobs come from coal energy. Not just mining. It is a huge part of our economy and job creation. #WarOnCoal

War on coal is a war on small businesses and the poor.

Says all you need to know about Obama that he'd rather wage a war on coal than a war on terror. #KineticMilitaryInaction

Dear Obama voters losing your jobs to his War on Coal: the time for everything you're about to say was Nov. 2012.
