I don't think this administration has really invested much time or energy into Appalachia and its problems. Do you really think the Obama/Biden admin has tried to build bridges with the people of Appalachia? I don't and I have to say its been a major disappointment. Perhaps I expected too much, i.e., a crumb dropped from the table. But there really hasn't been an administration dedicated to helping our region since Lyndon Johnson was in office. But they sure want our votes, yes indeed!
