Excerpt: Environmentalist rhetoric has become especially negative-sounding in the last few years as gas prices have generally increased and periodically spiked, new and restricting regulations have gone into effect, more expensive and less desirable “green” technologies have been pushed or mandated, and “green jobs” have been endlessly touted. News of Solyndra and other wasteful and abusive spending (what a shocker!) of “stimulus” dollars have provided additionally legitimate reasons for scorn of the whole environmentalism-gone-wild thing.
The TransCanada project seems a tailor-made solution; it is good old-fashioned oil, evoking images of Jed Clampett (black oil, Texas Tea). It is definitely not a creator of “green” jobs; in fact, such a project seems to involve a lot of brown dirt and black oil smudges on the sweaty foreheads of blue-jean wearing, Big Mac-eating guys with hardhats. And surely, the whole idea of flowing oil satisfies, at least a bit, that growing American urge to “Drill, Baby, Drill!”
I, like every other constitutional conservative would really love to raise my glass in celebratory toast at the idea of a river of good ‘ole oil flowing through a pipe that would provide skads of jobs to my fellow Nebraskans, that would reduce our dependence on foreign oil (oops) “hostile” foreign oil, provide tax revenues from increased economic activity that would result in some tax cuts for Nebraskans (who are taxed, overall, higher than any of our neighbors).
I would also like to raise my glass in a celebratory toast to my elected officials in Nebraska who represented my and my fellow citizens’ interests both at the State Capitol and in Washington, D.C. and for their deliberative contemplation of the issues associated with a large project that affects property owners in a wide path through the state. I would really like to be proud of the honesty, integrity, and principles of my elected officials.
I would like a President who understands his geography to the extent that he knows Canada is not a part of the domestic United States, so when he says we need to develop more domestic oil and gas he is actually talking about the SOVEREIGN NATION that is the United States of America. (You know, the one comprised of 50 states?…I think a map would sort things out…if you don’t own one, I’ve provided a link, Mr. President, just in case, so you can buy one on Amazon: Rand Mcnally Us Wall Map (M Series U.S.A. Wall Maps) 50″x32″.)
There are a lot of things I would like to be true. But I think its more sensible to deal with what is actually true. I am sincerely grieved by the fact that too often, the truth I find is not pleasant.
Short answer; NO!
Not likely.
Dumber than a box of Molted Snake Skins...
No. He can barely read.

Documents on file at Canadian and U.S. government agencies, including filings by TransCanada and Koch Industries, and National Energy Board of Canada decision, several market analyses, federal and state legislative reports, campaign
donation filings, and spending by advocacy groups tell a different story from the dialogue that has prevailed for many months.
The Keystone XL Pipeline would result in increased gas and
diesel prices in fifteen Midwestern states to the detriment
of those states’ citizens and economies. All Canadian oil producers would benefit. Analysts project a $.10-$.20 price
per gallon increase in the Midwest region. According to its
own statements, TransCanada wants to build the line to remove oversupply from the Midwestern market and shift types
of oil, either heavy crude or synthetic, based on market conditions, to avoid the discounts Canadian producers currently receive. Once moved past the Midwest, Canadian products would move into the Gulf Coast area, which in addition to providing a new sales market, also affords access to foreign trade zone ports.
Do fifth graders go to prison for defrauding taxpayers while in the process enriching his financial supporters? And the dems called Dicky Nixon a crook?
Blockbuster: Obama administration pressured Solyndra to delay layoffs for political gain
I would rather have a 5th grader for President. OK,maybe a 7th grader.
Can’t say for sure. Is that 5th grader the offspring of a Welfare Queen Crackhead? If so, I would say, possibly.
If you are talking about a 5th grader that is parented by a conservative family, not a chance in hell.
99% of Fifth graders know that Hawaii is not Asia !( Odumbo doesn’t)
Considering the quality of education offered at government indoctrination centers, maybe.
Yeah, the latest gaff by his excellency. Then again, perhaps it was a fraudian slip and he will now claim to be Asian. Or maybe Kenya is part of Asia too, just a line on a map to Oturd.
5th graders know it is not 2008.
A village in Kenya is missing its idiot.
A definite NO; but due to affirmative action he doesn't have to be.
