Billionaire Obama donor Tom Steyer, who is funding and leading the environmentalist campaign against the Keystone XL pipeline, will air an anti-Keystone ad on MSNBC before and after President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday evening. The minute-long ad, entitled "Sucker Punch," claims that Canada may not send its tar sand oil through the pipeline to the U.S., and implies it will send the oil to China instead.

Steyer is Farallon Capital. From their website, among their core investment strategies is

"... non-investment grade debt in leveraged or underperforming companies, as well as companies experiencing a liquidity crisis, defaulting on their debt obligations, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (or its equivalent), undergoing liquidation or undergoing another corporate event, such as a merger, recapitalization, reorganization or restructuring."

"Vulture capitalists"? Can you say Bain? Will we hear of the evils perpetrated by this nemesis of the proletariat?

LOL! Looks like their website is describing the current state of the union.

If the GOP had balls, they’d run 60 seconds of silent video just showing a gas pump rolling over $100 to fill up a car

That should actually be their response to the SOTU - in its entirety. :)

Shows that these folks are not to bright.
Showing a anti-energy, anti cheap energy ad after the POSSOTU address when most of those who will be viewing it are more concerned how cold it is and how much it's costing them to heat their homes and out gas in their cars.
A good percentage of those people have to sacrifice some money on food or necessities to pay for the huge fuel bills that will be coming in a few weeks.

TOM TOM STEYER ! ? Most of the country won’t give a crap about your message of the Keystone project because they are currently freezing in their homes trying to heat their homes that they can barely afford to heat you dope !
