Roger, Roger, Roger, we just went through this last night. Please tell me what special new powers a new President will have to mandate such a policy. It doesn't work that way, Constitutionally speaking.

Do you, by any chance, remember the newly-inaugurated President Clinton's effort, spear-headed by Hillary in 1993, to implement universal healthcare? He had the advantage of a D House and D Senate, and he totally failed to get that done.

Had he had this magical mandate you keep referring to, it would have been no problem. You also need to remember there are quite a few influential Ds representing the coal producing states.

And please show me the part of the Obama speech where he said he would seek to phase-out coal anywhere in the near-term. You are beginning to sound like CDC.
