(04-19) 14:54 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --

The White House says President Barack Obama will deliver a eulogy Sunday for the 29 miners killed in a West Virginia coal mine explosion.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will attend a memorial service for the miners in Beckley, W.Va.

The April 5 blast at the Upper Big Branch mine was the nation's worst coal mine disaster since 1970. Obama has ordered a sweeping review of mine safety records and called for stronger mining laws.

Will he quote the Christian bible, or the Koran?

Or just call for a takeover of the mining industry?

It's hilarious that you'll describe posters here as having nothing original for the last how many fucking years but your contribution to this thread, which is in essence a memorial, is this despicable bullshit.

The members of the uber tribe look on the rest of the world especially the ones they depend on the most as freiers.

Liberals look upon dirty coal miners and an unfortunate result of the required big money from labor unions. They don't actually give a damn about them. If they did, well, they've controlled the House and Senate since January of 07...where's the legislation? Oh, sorry, forgot they want to shut down the coal mines via cap and trade, and 'green legislation'.

Can't have those rednecks in WVA making an average of 62,500 per year with full benefits ya know, making money from 'dirty coal'.

Whats really sad is these hypocrites have never seen a mine of any type, and wouldn't associate with a coal miner if you paid them.

Are you saying that liberals have actually been acting like conservatives? Oh my splitting sides.

Actually the average coal miner like the average vet votes democrat. Otherwise Bird would have been voted out long ago.

The legislation to bring non union mines subject to the same standards that union miners enjoyed through their contract negotiations was passed in the mid 70's. This particular mine had been cited numerous times as in violation of the requirements of that law.

Also:

The U.S. House of Representatives passed new mine-safety legislation yesterday aimed at improving dangerous working conditions such as those that may have contributed to the Crandall Canyon Mine collapse that killed six workers and three rescue personnel last year. The bill allows independent investigations when accidents kill more than one miner, grants the Mine Safety and Health Administration subpoena power, creates an office to deal with miners' safety concerns, ups the penalties for safety violations, requires mine operators to monitor coal dust levels, and would add at least some safeguards to the dangerous (but profitable) mining technique called "retreat mining." A similar bill is making its way through the Senate. President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation if it lands on his desk, arguing, among other things, that the new bill doesn't allow for industry input on some safety requirements such as testing for coal dust.
