and America takes another one in the........

Obama does not care about jobs, the pipeline, or energy. All he wants to do is destroy our capitalism and free markets and hurt as many REAL Americans as he can.
He is evil and he is an enemy.
"Look, the very fact that a 'no' could even be said underscores to our country that we must diversify our energy export markets,"IMO, the same concept applies to British Columbia softwood lumber and Alberta beef.
If the amount that Canada has available to export exceeds what we’re willing/able to take then that’s fine.But it *would* benefit both the US *and* Canada if they sent us as much as we can take.Of course if getting the oil to China is easier and/or cheaper than getting it to us (as in Keystone) then we have a much different situation.One cannot blame Canada if she were unwilling to wait forever for approval of Keystone.
Thanks BHO for f-—ing us over, yet again. Now BHO has managed to piss off the Canadians, and they obviously will respond by sending their oil to the highest bidder. Could this guy possibly f-— up relations with our neighbors any worse than he has to date?
Canada joins the chorus:
FUBO
and America takes another one in the........ This is no big deal. Oil is fungible, so this is not that big a deal. This is also why buyer’s boycotts are silly and of no effect. What counts is that the oil gets produced and sold on a market.
The Arabs learned this lesson in the 1970’s when they stopped selling oil to the US, only to find the US importing more oil when the boycott had collapsed than when it was imposed. The oil that the US didn’t buy was bought by the Japanese. The non-OPEC oil that the Japanese didn’t buy was shipped to the US instead. A few cents a gallon premium was all it took to lubricate the exchange.
What is not being said here is that the market price of any oil that Canada ships to China will naturally be a few cents a gallon lower to compensate the buyer for the higher shipping costs. In time, when the US finally approves more pipeline capacity across the Canadian border, that premium will buy a preference to ship to the US.
Memo to Obama: Thanks, a**hole.
Well done President DumbA$$! Your Anti-American Grennie/Marxist ideology has won again. No wonder Oprah wants to keep her distance. I wish We the People could keep ours from your terribly destructive policies. I don’t blame Canada one bit. President DumbA$$ redefined crappy ally.
I can't blame the Canadians for deciding to sell their oil to the Chinese. The oil in their ground is their bounty and they have the right to sell it to whomever will buy it. I respect Harper for his decision on this and recognize that it is being done in the best interest of the Canadian people. I only wish our government made decisions that were in the best interest of the American people.
I can't help but to wonder how the Canadian people feel about having an emerging Marxist nation on their southern border.
