I checked 'breaking news' because the Senate is set to vote on the amendment today offered by Sen. Hoeven. The Amendment would shift the decision on approval of Keystone Pipeline to an entity that would not require approval by the president. I called Sen. Begich of Alaska and McCaskill of Mo. asking that they support the amendment. Although I do not live in either of those states, Sen. Begich's aide was polite and received my comments. Ms. McCaskill's aide, promptly hung up on me. Contact Tester (Montana); Nelson (Ne); Pryor (Arkansas); McCaskill (Mo) and any other democrat you can think of. Kate

And every single democrat senator will dig in with him - including Manchin and Landrieu.

[Logical me]

If the Democrats in the Senate do not wake up they will be responsible for the up and coming civil war. King Obama is a communists and is destroying Americans by the millions.

I could swear I just saw a dem on Varney and Company say he was pushing dems to approve it.

Is this enough to get ME thugs to drop the price of oil a few months before the election so Obama will look like the hero who brought gasoline prices down.

[tobyhill]

Put them on record!!!

Obama’s already on record for blocking this and wanting higher oil and gas prices.

[Vaquero]

Hey everyone knows that drilling or building pipelines cant lower the price of fuel....right....I mean the POSOTUS told me so....

.....who'd a thunk it.

[Jagdgewehr]

I am to the point of wishing this man ill in the most unspeakable of ways.

[DoughtyOne]

Translation:

Obama wants to lose the White House.

The Dems want to lose the Senate.

This is like nailing your own foot to the floor when a fire breaks out.

[TMA62]

The republicans in the senate need to bring up this amendment up to vote every week now up thru the election. This will be easy to do as gas prices go up every week. Let the jackass dems vote this down every week as gas approaches $5 and unemployment goes up.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Go for it, Barry. Make our day.
The only thing I’d like better than seeing Senate Dems
up in November kill this is seeing you veto it.

Interesting story on Obama thugs wanting Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper gone. Spooky dude Soros involved.

An interesting side note to the battle over the Keystone pipeline is that China is a major partner in the Canadian oil project, the same Chinese off-shore (outside China) oil company owns one third of Chesapeake Energy, the company that the Sierra Club is partnering with.

So, the Sierra Club made themselves partners with the Chinese that are pushing for the Keystone pipeline.

The Keystone XL pipeline would create an estimated 20,000 jobs and, likely, drive down the price of gasoline in the long run. It would seem to be a good move at a time of high unemployment and high gas prices.

but, 0bama is lobbying to raise gas prices and stop job growth!

If you want to know why the Keystone Pipeline has been vetoed, here is the reason.

Venezuela has an enormous deposit of heavy sour crude that is nearly identical to the Alberta tar sands. The US oil refineries are designed especially for this heavy oil because Venezuela is nearby and before Chavez, it was politically stable.

The majority of the worlds oil refineries are designed for Arabian Light, not Venezuelan Heavy.

The Keystone pipeline would have replaced the Venezuelan oil with Canadian oil. Also the Venezuelan oil would be hard to refine and would have to be shipped a long distance if the Canadian oil displaced it and as a result, undesireable.

The veto of the Keystone pipline is to keep Chavez in power.

from http://oilsands.infomine.com/countries/

” Located in eastern Venezuela, north of the Orinoco River, the Orinoco Oil Belt is of a similar geographic extent as that of the Canadian oil sands. The deposits are not bitumen per se but extra-heavy oil. (Natural bitumen and extra-heavy oil are closely related types of petroleum, differing from each other only in the degree by which they have been degraded from the original crude oil by bacteria and erosion.) “
