President Obama reveals who he really is -- and this picture isn't pretty
Fox News ^ | 1/23/2012 | By Michael Goodwin

By rejecting the Keystone XL oil pipeline, President Obama did more than just pander to environmentalists. He shredded attempts by his handlers to cast him as a pragmatic and reasonable man who can appeal to independent voters.

Instead, he stands naked as an ideologue willing to sacrifice workers on the altar of special-interest politics.

Thousands of jobs were cast aside with no more thought than yesterday’s socks. Demolished, too, is the promised commitment to energy independence.

The $7 billion pipeline would carry Canadian oil to Gulf Coast ports. Despite three years of study by the State Department, Obama tried to put off the decision until after the election.

But Canada offered to change the route to avoid an aquifer in Nebraska, and unions demanded to know whether he would approve a permit, so Republicans put a 60-day deadline in December’s payroll-tax legislation.

Now we have undeniable proof of the president’s priorities. The man who insisted that “making sure jobs are available is the first thing I think about when I wake up every morning” was just reading empty words from a TelePrompter.

You don’t hear obama talking about confiscating Google’s “excessive” profits. The value of its stock price is six times that of any oil company. They are giving him free campaign advertising. Everyone else pays by the click.

Obama didn’t even have the decency to explain himself, sending out a lame statement that hinted he wasn’t making a decision on the merits, only reacting to the deadline.
I pretty much said the same thing on Saturday.

"It is all about the imposed deadline, not the pipeline."

And Goodwin didn't even mention Shrillary!'s role in all of this. She is just as much to blame.
I've already posted to you my speculations on that.

and Newt was the turning point, by saying that Obama’s decision was stupid.

I heard that call also but did you see Barry in Harlem what's wrong with those whacked out people. I hate that Spike Lee dirbag is it because they in denial that their half black President is a big failure.
