Obama against Canadian mining; C. McCain against Mothers Against Drunk Driving
The news item tells us that Obama opposes the Cline Mine. I quote: “Barack Obama has joined the list of prominent state and federal officials who oppose a proposed coal mine in the Canadian Flathead Valley. On May 29, Obama’s Montana campaign manager Matt Chandler sent an e-mail to Will Hammerquist of the National Parks Conservation Association announcing the presidential candidate’s opposition to a plan by the Cline Mining Corporation to begin an open-pit coal mine in the headwaters of the Canadian Flathead River drainage.”
Now Obama is on record as opposing NAFTA and Canadian mining. Will Canadians soon be e-mailing their American cousins asking them to support McCain. That will be a hard sell: the weekend Los Angeles Times reports on Cindy McCain and her running of a company that opposes efforts by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Not to speak of her extensive drug use. But I suppose she will be the first lady, not the president, and she will probably not seek the nomination any time soon, so leave her and Mrs. Obama alone. 
What a choice for president? Maybe we can elect McCain and get Cindy to Vancouver to change the way booze is sold in that repressive system. I bought drinkable wine in California for less than $3 a bottle this weekend to drink to drown the sorrow of Cindy. Try doing that in Vancouver; I have to make my own at a neighborhood store to get that price to drink to Canadian mining.

Ok, somebody explain to me what does Obama have to do with the Canadian mining industry? His position is such an obvious attempt to gain the favor (votes!) of environmentalists in the U.S. tha he doesn’t even realize his comments about Canadian mining are not pertinent to your average U.S. voter.
What does a U.S. presidential hopeful have to do with what other countries (albeit in his backyard) do or don’t do?
This is what happens when you don’t vote for Hilary!
