If anyone needs proof Obama is anti-American, this is it...
The reason Obama opposes the Keystone pipeline is that it would not be a government financed project.
It’s not that HE wouldn’t get credit for it, he would, but so would capitalism, and we simply cannot have that on Obama’s watch.
Remember, he is first and foremost a socialist. This means that the government must be the fount of all good, and the pipeline would be totally financed by the private sector.
Unions? Private sector unions now know where they stand. They shall benefit only if the government can take credit.
Idiots. This would affect our whole balance of trade, and at the same time, drive down the price of crude, which is the main source of income of the Islamists, and would have a wide affect on the price of other commodities. I bet some interests are funding the environmentalists to keep things on their present course. Maybe even some pubbies who have friends in the Middle East.
There are 160,000 miles of pipeline crisscrossing the United States today. The Keystone pipeline is 1,700 miles from the one source of oil outside the US that is secure as our own oil. The Keystone will be built with 2011 technology and will carry oil not only from the Canada oil sands, but from the Bakken oil shale in North Dakota and Montana. The amount of oil flowing through the pipeline would represent 4.5% of our annual usage. Montana Governor is Brian Schweitzer (D
Instead of going after venture capitalists , Newt should be going after Hussein on this issue. Where are the jobs Barry?
Well of course. All construction jobs are temporary. If I hired a construction company to build me a three bedroom house, i'd be pissed if ten years later theyre still working on it.
these guys almost make a case for jobs - we need 30 people at pump stations - then the fail to mention where the heck those pumps might be lcoated. Then mention mnaufactturing jobs but fail to mention tha it takes a fact ____ number of days for all ____ men in the factory and all the supprot staff to pump on 2000 miles of rolled steel and then it take ___ nubmer of trucks and trucker to take the steel pipe to lcoations...they get half way to what the busy public needs and then they shut up. They all must be members of the republcan (stupid party). THEY CAN’T SELL AN IDEA the public supprots.
The pipeline could also carry the increasing amount oil being pumped from the wells in western North Dakota What is wrong with developing American oil using American companies and making jobs for American workers? Obama’s dithering and pandering to environmental whackos will push the Canadians to build their own pipeline to the west coast and sell their oil to China.
In their defense, I must say that environmentalists are all experts in "wildly inflating" outcomes.
Still, completely pathetic. Their position--"Well, it won't create nearly the number of jobs they say it will"--is, in the middle of the worst economy in 80 years, about as close to bankruptcy as an argument gets.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Clean-air agreements signed by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and two Canadian provinces could dramatically slow oil production in the Alberta tar sands...Ontario and British Columbia have agreed to adhere to California's low-carbon fuel standards, which means the provinces will have to curb oil production sources that create high amounts of global-warming emissions...Nine other U.S. northeastern states, plus Illinois, Quebec and Manitoba are all expected to sign on to California's low-carbon fuel standard,...In recent years Canada has overtaken Saudi Arabia as the leading source of U.S. oil imports...The authors of California's new standard say oil companies must adapt or risk losing business.
If this were a “Green” project blessed by the NIMBY’s and Eco-Nuts they would insist that it will create two million jobs and culminate in the “Green Revolution’, as if that was a good thing.
Green = OK to inflate job numbers.
Proven real world tech. = Benefits MUST be minimized and denied.
The left has no problem supporting the proposed pipeline if it is built by and for the Chinese Government. This is the real effort and reason that Obama will not support the pipeline for America, the Chicoms have their nose under the tent as it pertains to the pipeline, they are proposing building a line all the way to the coastline in BC and have it piped directly to their waiting oil tankers. This is not wishful thinking on their behalf, it is in the works and Obama is quietly backing it. The traitorous actions of his administration has hundreds of “deals” they are working on and we will, once again, be unaware until it is signed and delivered to China.
