PM Harper is standing up to him, you should be happy.
Robert Heinlin once said that you should never attribute to malice that which is more properly attributable to stupidity.
This pipeline decision, as well as a recent ban on uranium mining on federal lands in Arizona, got me to wondering if the Obama regime is malicious or stupid, and I have conluded that they are not mutually exclusive. My only question is whether they are maliciously stupid or stupidly malicious, or merely malicious AND stupid.
I must conclude that all three are true, because the decisions benefit nobody, and hurt a lot of people, not the least of which are those of us who consume petroleum products. The decisions were made on behalf of environmentalists who are also all three, because they do not benefit, either, except in their own delusions.
The media will pimp this but even the union thugs will have a hard time telling their members that the 20,000 initial jobs and the tens of thousands of add on jobs, that will be lost, are Bush's fault.
I'd like to see Obama run on this slogan in 2012" "Hi, I'm Barack Obama, and I've shut down the Keystone pipeline and deprived tens of thousands of Americans of jobs and the country of reliable oil. Please vote for me."
