The Anti-Jobs President (Obama rejects the Keystone XL pipeline and blames Congress)

The central conflict of the Obama Presidency has been between the jobs and growth crisis he inherited and the President's hell-for-leather pursuit of his larger social-policy ambitions. The tragedy is that the economic recovery has been so lackluster because the second impulse keeps winning.

Yesterday came proof positive with the White House's repudiation of the Keystone XL pipeline, TransCanada's $7 billion shovel-ready project that would support tens of thousands of jobs if only it could get the requisite U.S. permits. Those jobs, apparently, can wait.

Unless the President objected, December's payroll tax deal gave TransCanada the go-ahead in February to start building the pipeline, which would travel 1,661 miles from Alberta to interconnections in Oklahoma and then carry Canadian crude to U.S. refiners on the Gulf Coast.

The State Department, which presides over the Keystone XL review because it would cross the 49th parallel, claimed yesterday that the two-month Congressional deadline was too tight "for the President to determine whether the Keystone XL pipeline is in the national interest." The White House also issued a statement denouncing Congress's "rushed and arbitrary deadline," which merely passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

This is, to put it politely, a crock.

If you want an ax to grind find someone else .I will leave you with this. My niece is a fine white mother married to a fine black man and has two young mulatto children. She thinks you are nuts.
PS They both think the mulatto president is a POS also.

Is that right? Did you tell her that her children aren't 'mulatto', but Hybrid Mixed Breeds, like you told me about my kids?

Bet you didn't.

Face the wind and fly away.Hope you enjoy S.A.BTW,the government thinks your kids are hybrid mixed breed.Just stating a fact.

[Windflier]

And still you refuse to answer. My questions too tough or embarrassing for you, professor?

You ashamed of your 'Hybrid Mixed Breed' nieces and nephews? Are you man enough to call them that to their mother and father's face? I highly doubt it.

the government thinks your kids are hybrid mixed breed. Just stating a fact.

Take your demeaning animal designations and stick 'em up your azz, you racist pos.

If was racist, I wouldn’t be the die-hard Steelers fan. Good nite !

Truth hurts doesn’t it ? You are an angry person who IMHO needs an anger management class.

You call slapping an utterly degrading term like "Hybrid Mixed Breed" on living human beings the truth? And I'm "angry" if I dare to point that out?

Pardon me, but that's the sort of dehumanizing thing the Nazis did to people in the 1940s. I can't believe that someone with your racist ideas has lasted so long here.

The Government of The United States of America does not recognize mulatto as a race group.There is not even a box to check for Mulatto on the census. Be angry at them ,not at me .Write your Congressman.Maybe he can change a situation of classification that started in 1930.
