Obama has killed a desperately needed pipeline. We lose 25,000 jobs and CHEAPER energy costs, while bitchslapping one of America's greatest allies. Obama needs to be called out.
Where are the Republican warriors on the right? Aren't they more afraid of what Obama and the uber left are doing to destroy this country than they are of the ankle-biting press?
Considering the dire straits this nation is in, this is criminal.
U.S. punts tricky pipeline decision past 2012 election hat tip Van
(Reuters) - The U.S. government on Thursday delayed approval of a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline until after the 2012 U.S. election, bowing to pressure from environmentalists and sparing President Barack Obama a damaging split with liberal voters he may need to win reelection.
The decision to explore a new route for TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL oil pipeline to avoid fragile territory in the Sand Hills of Nebraska dismayed the Canadian government, which had lobbied assiduously for the $7 billion project.
It also drew a harsh reaction from the oil industry and from Republicans in Congress who accused Obama of sacrificing jobs for the sake of his reelection.
Now here is where Congress can play some hardball and say”You want your 400 billion dollar Job stimulus, this pipeline can help pay for it, so we’ll pass your stimulus as long as you don’t veto it when we attach authorization to allow the pipeline project( which will allow 25000 jobs to be created in the private sector ) to begine asap. It will have a no severance clause which means if a court tries to block the pipeline part of the bill related to enviromental issues the whole bill goes kaput!
“Our conversation is probably being recorded, and we are now labeled as traitors.”
Traitors to a traitorous regime?
Just asking.
IMHO
Ever since (or shortly thereafter) the sixties, been there, or thus have been told. (sigh)
Obama-—doing what he does best, destroying American opportunity.
Being cheap is a statement about quality.
Less costly is a statement about price. When PetMeds.com first started running TV ads they used to end the ads by the person exclaiming not only were the meds they offered the same but they were cheaper too. Since then, they always say they cost less.
If, and I believe the odds are highly against it, Obama is re-elected in 2012, I give our GREAT NATION 3 yrs. before we cease to exist as a nation. This man is possessed with the spirit of Anti-Christ and is ushering in the prelude to the “END OF THE AGE”
WHERE IS THE G.O.P. ??? Their silence is absolutely stunning, not just on this issue, but for the past 3 1/2 years.
The guy loves to vote “present”.... doesn’t he folks?
How does this help Obama’s reelection?
It makes the Enviro-whacko’s happy.
Maybe if we agreed to paint the pipeline Green.
Oh Well: It’s more important to go to Indonesia and give our jobs to them than it is to stay here and do the work of America.
I see the Chinese are ‘very’ interested in the oil from this. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2806356/posts
Perhaps the Congress ought to look into whether undue influence and promises of campaign funding went into Obama’s decision making process?

As if we don’t already have pipelines throughout the US. There is also an extensive network of natural gas pipelines.
BO probably doesn’t have a clue.
The network of crude oil pipelines in the U.S. is extensive. There are approximately 55,000 miles of crude oil trunk lines (usually 8 - 24 inches in diameter) in the U.S. that connect regional markets. The map below shows some of the major crude oil trunk lines in the U.S.
Forgot to add: good map at this site.
Those Demonrats don’t want cheaper energy. They are trying to force us to drive econocans so we can live like the Europeans.
