Mitt Romney’s administration on Day One would approve a pipeline that would run from Canada to U.S. refineries in Texas, creating thousands of jobs and pushing America on its way to energy independence, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan said Monday.

Ryan told supporters during his third trip to swing state Ohio in the last two weeks that there are enough energy resources for North America to become energy independent within eight years.

We need to unlock the energy we have in this country to create jobs,” he said.

Ryan blamed President Barack Obama for standing in the way of the Keystone XL pipeline and pushing too many environmental regulations that have cost jobs in the coal industry, a thorny issue for the president in southeast Ohio, where coal has a large footprint. He said similar control by Washington has hampered manufacturing growth throughout the Midwest, including Michigan and his home state of Wisconsin.

Obama earlier this year objected to the Keystone XL pipeline’s proposed 1,179-mile route over environmental concerns,

I sincerely hope Romney exposes the fraud that has been masturvating in the WH as a POTUS that failed to qualified and thus evry single thing Obama did can be erased like a dirty chalkboard.

Every pipeline, every coal mine, every frack job that is denied....sends money to the Middle East. Nothing like sending jobs overseas.

I would much prefer this read:
After firing the current leadership of the EPA and replacing them with people who are friendly to the United States, Romney will approve pipeline on Day One, tells Ohio crowd it will create jobs

It would help a few political campaigns to tell the story of a fleet of repair trucks, refrigeration, HVAC, plumbing, or delivery like bread and beer - what the heck does the increase in gas prices do to hiring when each week the $2.00 difference in gas from 4 years ago is spent to get to customers? Hiring goes down!! This is the result of government pickign winners and making working people losers!!

I also hope on Day One he

1. Tells Israel in private and Iran in public that Iran can expect a day of reckoning.
2. Tells Putin in no uncertain terms that the USA will expect flexibility from Russia
3. Send federal marshalls to arrest Eric Holder and hold him in a cell for violation of the law.
4. Send a detachment of Marines to Sudan and tell them that we dare them to try to stop us from protecting our country’s property and its people.
