Democrats Backpedal as China Readies $15.1 Billion Canadian Oil Deal

When President Barack Obama blocked the Keystone Pipeline, Republicans said the move would encourage Canada to pursue oil deals with China instead of the United States and cede a massive chunk of North American oil assets to the communist nation.

Now, with China's state-run oil company CNOOC poised to cut a $15.1 billion deal--the largest ever foreign acquisition for a Chinese company--with Canadian oil company Nexen, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) are in full backpedal mode.

The idiocy of the left is on display once again.

Because Democrats are beholden to the Radical Environmentalists, they have blocked Canadian oil from being imported into the US via the Keystone Pipeline.

Now the oil will presumably be exported to China in tankers across the world’s oceans.

And in the end, the oil will be burned, with all of the resulting environmental impacts. Do the environmentalists really believe the Chinese will be more sensitive to these impacts than the US?

As for the economic benefits of this oil, they will accrue to the Chinese economy, rather than that of the US.

Will the Democrats pay for their subscription to this idiocy? Only time, and the election results, will tell.

[dalebert]

aww but I bet they have investments in oil ...so not to worry.

[newzjunkey]

Of course! No one believed Canada except the Republicans.

It pains me to say so but I hope Canada cuts a deal with China and Obama and his party are tarred-and-feathered over this fiasco.

[Williams]

I say look for the bribes from OPEC, and probably now from China as well.

You don’t really think they deprive this country of energy just on “principle”.

[bmwcyle]

If we build the pipeline. why are we shipping all the oil to a Gulf Sea Port? Where is the oil going from there?

[Venturer]

I am pretty sure half of your hope will come true. Canada will make a deal with China.

As for the other half, as long as those entitlements come rolling in there will be no tar and feathers for Obama and his party.

The thing keeping the Dems alive is Unemployment insurance, welfare, affirmative action jobs, Homosexuals, abortion, and the promise of free health care paid for by stealing the wealth of those few still working.

[Truth29]

The Dems and the rest of the left will work furiously to defeat Harper in the next Canadian election. They can't afford to have Canada be more conservative than the formerly free USA.

[nascarnation]

You’re correct.
The Dems are just like a family in 2007 riding a wave of false prosperity provided by credit cards and helocs.

They’re spending $1.40 for every $1 in income, and doling it out for votes.

[ronnie raygun]

We should all e mail text and twitter the word “TREASON”? to all our so called reps. The crickets are deafening and they will all pay a price at the poles guarenteed! We may have to settle with plastic hair hat man to get the ball rolling and oust these commies but when it rolls we MUST stay focused and under pressure for many years to come to beat these cretans back

[yldstrk]

stupid is as stupid does, democrats

[Mike Darancette]

Where is the oil going from there?

That's where the refineries are.

[3Fingas]

The USA may not recover from Obama’s incompetence.
This....What you said.
Either he and the Democrats are destructively stupid or they really want us diminished...
Regardless, these people must be stopped in spite of themselves in the next election. If not, there will be no country left for conservatives and liberals to bicker over and no rich or middle class people to redistribute wealth from.

[Blue Highway]

Was this a metaphor about getting rid of the Democrats? Not sure what this would have to do with a chain gang. Also does salting areas keep weeds from growing? Is this feasable to do on residential property?

[Vaduz]

Democrats just doing what they do best,rewarding China.

[HenpeckedCon]

“And in the end, the oil will be burned, with all of the resulting environmental impacts. Do the environmentalists really believe the Chinese will be more sensitive to these impacts than the US?”

“Environmentalists” don't care about the “environment.” This is all about “fundamentally transforming America.”

[Chode]

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

[tumblindice]

President Soetero called an emergency cabinet meeting to address the matter.

[scottywr]

Well here it comes. The bammer is going to change his mind in the nick of time. He will EVOLVE on this after careful and nuanced consideration of his poll numbers. It will happen shortly, and pelosi and dingy harry will find a way to support it too. it’s coming.
