Day by day as he plays around, Canada is making commitments to others. America will pay for his poor strategy in many ways.

And far be it to the tree huggers and environmentalist’s knowledge of or the lack thereof and their ignorance there are actually a few ways to process coal as in gasification to make natural gas or make synthetic fuels out of coal that burns cleanly and there are some who want to build a few plants to do just that but Obama and this administration will have none of that, idiots.
