Funny How Obama Keeps Creating Those ‘Distinct Impressions’ That Don’t Pan Out

Heh:

DURING THE campaign and after his election, President Obama left environmentalists in coal country with the distinct impression that he was going to do away with mountaintop removal mining in the Appalachians. That’s where coal companies expose coal seams by stripping the dirt and rock covering them or blasting the tops of mountains to bits with dynamite and then, under legally defined conditions, dump the debris into valleys. It’s a particularly destructive practice, but it’s legal. And it will remain so under a memorandum of understanding the Obama administration will announce today.

Come on, editors of the Post. Go ahead, you can say it.

All statements from Barack Obama come with an expiration date. All of them.
