A rift has opened between the Obama administration and some of its closest allies - Democratic leaders and environmental organisations - over its refusal to publicly disclose the location of 44 coal ash dumps that have been officially designated as a "high hazard" to local populations.

  1. Gee, I wonder why. I dunno...Could it be those hefty contributions to his campaign from the coal industry?

  2. Jersey Girl, I really and truly cannot believe this. We're talking about preserving the land on this little ball which we all dwell. Coal ash dumps are nothing but poisons that I suppose you can't see from DC.

    And all of those lost sheople who voted for this man because he promised them "change." I hope they understand that denial, it is not a river in Egypt.

    President Obama is nothing more than a smooth operator, who isn't gonna listen to the folks who put him into office. It is time these people awoken from their slumber, and seen what is really occurring to our country. They need to be Cotoized.

    And no disrespect to Sade,
