As gasoline prices continue to rise, President Obama on Thursday pushed back on attacks from Republicans that he is blocking the Keystone XL oil pipeline and is against drilling, arguing his administration has added enough new oil-and-gas pipelines to "encircle the Earth and then some."
Obama highlighted his support for the southern leg of the controversial Keystone pipeline, which would carry oil from Cushing, Okla., to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
Appearing before a backdrop of oil pipelines in Cushing, Obama said he was making construction a priority through an executive order issued Thursday that instructs federal agencies to expedite their review of the southern portion of the pipeline.
“Today, I’m directing my administration to cut through the red tape, break through the bureaucratic hurdles and make the project a priority,” said Obama, who earlier this year rejected a GOP bid to force construction on the full pipeline, which would stretch from Alberta to the Gulf Coast.

And he’s spouted enough Bulls**t to cover the planet too.

Obama’s mind is twirling fast enough to encircle the earth. And then some.
You can scoop up some soil in your hand and call it earth.
Peeing down America’s leg and telling us it is raining.
Half the country is standing in the yellow puddle and grinning like Cheshire cats.
When those who suck off the economic teat outnumber those who provide the milk we are doomed and we are damned close.
Last week, during a top of the hour radio news break, some brainiac interview flatly stated that the mild winter weather was a $300 tax break. Not like a tax break. An actual tax break. Apparently, Obama’s government can provide us warm weather during the winter to ease our heating fuel bills, so why shouldn’t he be able to make the sun rise in the morning.

Drill Barry Drill!!
The pipelines he is talking about emanate from the whitehouse and spew lies and misery down on the people!
And the lies just keep on coming.
This guy is freaking insane. The only other thing it can be is that the Democrats are completely convinced their constituents have the IQ of a box of rocks.
The administration did not “lay” ONE FREAKIN’ INCH of pipeline. Private industry did, DESPITE the effort to overcome administrative red tape and the EPA. Take credit for the sun coming up tomorrow, Barry.
