Canada Ping!
Has he figured out yet that jobs mean tax income for the government AND stimulating the econmy??
There is no pressure.
The election is over. He won.
He now has flexibility and he will do the things he wants to do, and will not do the things he does not want to do. The opinions of others do not matter.
Canada Ping!
He’ll never approve it. He needs to award his buddy Warren Buffet for services rendered. Buffet now uses his rail holdings to ship that oil.
Obama feels no pressure about anything. He is bullet proof and has pigmentation immunity to all complaints or opposition.
I still can’t figure out how the federal government can tell a state they cannot put a pipeline through their State.
Closing the 16 million acres to drilling a day after the election was to reassure his foreign (Arab) donors he is going to be shutting down production of oil and gas in this country. This term can’t be Obama 2 or Carter 3; it has to be Nixon 2— constant probing and investigating the corruption.
Gosh GOP, get the word out there! Tell the people how many jobs this will cost or how much it increases our dependence on a volatile Middle East.
Where the hell are these people? I don’t ever see any arguments in the public eye. Starting to think it’s all one big cabal and there’s truly no hope.
And why is this all up to one man? Where’s checks & balances that one guy can cancel oil leases or not allow the pipeline.
This is truly a dictatorship if we have to rely on one guy for our every need. Get a spine, Congress!
His ONLY goal is to "overwhelm the system."
Once you accept that, you understand everything he does, and can predict what he will do in any given situation.
In other words, there will be no Keystone XL pipeline.
Bottom line.....Obama doesn’t want anything good for the country. He’s running the country into bankruptcy. He hates the idea that we have been #1 for so many years, as he attributes this to our so called taking advantage of third world countries.He wants us to be on an equal basis with the 3rd world.Recall that one of his first things he did when assuming the POTUS was to send back to GB the bust of Winston Churchill. Bam hates Britain for its colonialism especially re. his beloved Kenya.
I work in the pipeline industry as a contract radiographer. The 20k job claim is low balling it. The ancillary jobs created alone could top 10k. Support services from hotels, to surveyors, to welders and scaffold builders (just a few different entities) are what make that 20k guess low. Truly something for every trade and walk of life. Which means the Kenyan Islamic communist will probably deny it. It benefits Big Oil..
