COMMENTARY: An Obama-Buffett Connection Could Keep Crude Rolling by Rail

The rumors had been circulating in Washington for weeks, but Bloomberg brought it above the waterline on Thursday: "At closed-door fundraisers held over the past few weeks, the president has been telling Democratic Party donors that he will unveil new climate proposals in July." Just to make certain no one missed her message, the Bloomberg reporter used the word "fundraiser" twice in the article and "donor" five times. She did not make any direct mention of President Obama's personal interest in or commitment to the issue.

Anyone remember Warren Buffett running around carrying Obama's water for him by telling all us that the rich do not pay enough taxes? Here is why, he will make far more money by charging excessive transportation prices and from railcar sales and rentals than he will have to pay for Obama's tax increase.

The Burlington, Northern and Santa Fe Railroad is the only game in town and Obama plans to keep it that way.

John Batchelor had a guy on who said...the oil companies in North Dakota and Montana can make more profit with the railroad by shipping the crude where they can get the best price..Canada needs the Keystone pipeline to get crude to the Gulf

Has Buffett’s outfit, Berkshire-Hathaway, paid the billion dollars in taxes it has owed for the last 10 years?

I liked it better when, as Mark Twain said, "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it."

Maybe we need policy finance reform.

His presidency has become a laughing stock.
OBarky’s “climate proposals” will go nowhere.
