Ted Strickland Calls Hillary Clinton’s Coal Comments ‘Unartful’
[FREEBEACON] Ted Strickland, a U.S. Senate candidate in Ohio, described  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminenceand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another James Baker... ’s recent comments about coal-industry jobs as "unartful" after the former secretary of state received criticism for pledging to put coal miners and companies out of business. While Strickland, a longtime Clinton ally, criticized the Democratic presidential candidate’s phrasing, he argued that she accurately stated that coal-industry jobs are dwindling during an interview with the Washington Free Beacon outside a polling place in Columbus, Ohio, Tuesday. "What Hillary Clinton said, unartfully I believe, is the truth--that coal jobs are being lost, but they’re being lost for a lot of reasons," Strickland said. "They’re being lost because of mechanization, they’re being lost because natural gas is cheap and plentiful and burns cleaner, and so there are lots of reasons why coal jobs are being lost."
