With so much insanity going on in the middle east, it was vital that the Keystone project go forward. But Obama has delayed it and so doing put our national security at risk. This is a MAJOR story but I'm betting the MSM doesn't give it the coverage it deserves. And talk about job killing. This project would have created thousands of new high paying jobs without costing the taxpayer anything. It would have been financed with private capital.

I don't need any more convincing. I knew Obama was a dangerous man back in 2008. But this ought to convince any doubters just what he is. God help us. This man must be defeated in 2012.

I agree with your post and I wish to add a few points.

The enviros argument against Keystone is that increased tar sands oil production will create more pollution. By stopping Keystone they think they will limit tar sands oil production. This is insane reasoning. They are already planning a replacement pipeline to Kitimat, BC. Kitimat has an excellent port that will serve as the transfer point to load tar sands oil on tankers for the PRC. Production will ramp up just as quickly as if Keystone was built, the only difference is that the oil will go to refiners in China, not Texas. Just to let everyone know, Keystone was not going to cost the US taxpayer a dime.

There is another large infrastructure project ready to go in Detroit. The Canadian and Ontario governments are ready to built a new 6 lane bridge over the Detroit River from Windsor to Detroit. The project is being stalled. Canada has offered the state of Michigan a $650 million dollar loan to build the needed infrastructure on the US side. They loan would be paid off with toll revenue. This new bridge will not cost the US taxpayer a dime.

Meanwhile the US spends money on, among other things, courses and studies to help Chinese hookers drink less alcohol.
