Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at Digg and at Reddit and in Stumbleupon and Delicious
It’s dead, Jim.
This will also have the desirable effect (to the left) of keeping fuel prices much higher. This is insanity! It should become a major election issue.
“Claim 1: Building the pipeline will increase global emissions and harm the environment.”
Here’s a suggestion for the dork-in-chief. Build the pipeline now, enable jobs creation, lessen our dependance a little more on the ragheads, and possibly see some slight energy cost reduction. When, AND IF, the time finally comes where we can all power our cars from unicorns farting skittles, we can (gasp!) remove the pipeline.
OK, possibly stupid question: Why do they need to build a 1000 mile, plus, pipeline when a refinery can be built near the source of the oil? It’s not like it’s in the middle of nowhere Alaska and the refined product can’t be reasonably transported.
The Left’s goal is to destroy this country as a super power, and eliminating inexpensive, and efficient energy sources is one of the tools the Left is using.
Obama is of the Left, and is doing the job he was funded for POTUS by the Left to accomplish towards their goal of a NWO. A NWO that the United States that was is now incapable of preventing.

Astoung. The energy phobs will hate the 0 for vacillation; the unions will hate him for putting labor on hold while he is clambering for SEIU, “NOW”.
American Petroleum Institute (API), which called the move “deeply disappointing and troubling”. According to API, a recent poll found that nearly 80 percent of Americans favor receiving greater supplies of oil from Canada.
“Whether it will help the president retain his job is unclear, but it will cost thousands of shovel-ready opportunities for American workers,” API President and CEO Jack Gerard noted. “There is no real issue about the environment that requires further investigation, as the president’s own State Department has recently concluded after extensive project reviews that go back more than three years. This is about politics and keeping a radical constituency opposed to any and all oil and gas development in the president’s camp in November 2012.”
