Obama’s Decision to Kill the Keystone Pipeline A Huge Windfall for Buffett
C4P and Human Events ^ | 1/24/2012 | John Hayward and Doug Brady

When President Obama, who is normally a great proponent of “infrastructure” projects, made his bizarre decision to block the Keystone XL pipeline project, I wondered if he might have been induced to create those thousands of American jobs if the oil could be moved by his beloved high-speed rail.

As it turns out, oil is already moved from northern latitudes, such as the booming oil fields of North Dakota, down to the Gulf of Mexico by rail of the old, low-speed variety. Fortunately, as Newt Gingrich pointed out during the Monday night Republican debate in Florida, the oil is on private land, so Obama can’t shut production down.

No telling how much of a killing Buffett’s “secretary” is going make.

No, not exactly. The bit about having sold all that oil to China seems to have been lost in the mix, so there’s no oil to ship by train anyhow.

UNF-NBELIEVABLE

The left are running screwed of Newt because they know Newt has the balls to bring all of this out to obama in a debate.

Buffett and Soros need to be investigated with the MSM after all of this and then charged if needed , plus Holder and his racist crap

****************************************************
Newt needs to challenge Obama to only let Buffets BNSF railroad carry the oil at cost or be investigated upon his innauguration ... The dealing has got to end .. Obama just negotiated a great deal on BAC preferred for Buffet and no doubt guaranteed he wouldn’t let the bankrupt bank fail.

I smell a pay-off for all the money Buffet has already contributed and for the next deposit he will make to the democrats.

remember giving Petrobas 2 billion of our money and then said we want to be your best customer.

Ironic that Soros had bought a load of shares in that company before the 2 billion.

I’m sick and tired of this admin and this MSM which tell us a bunch of crap and think we’re all stupid to be taken in by this.

This admin has waged war against this country, gave guns to the drug lords, used our money for their pals to get rich and get more power etc and the MSM does all of their covering
The GOP the cowards sit there fighting Newt to keep their power and will even put another candidate in if Romney does not win my state.
The cowardly GOP do nothing say nothing on all issues and I’m sick of all of it.
The establishment elitist, the elitist MSM including most of FOX like Hannity Megyn Kelly, the homosexuals who push their agenda onto little kids , this admin, his wife who thinks she is Queen and the RINO’s

I believe the Bakkan oil fields were to be connected to the pipeline as well.
