What a complete and utter lie.

I am convinced that he is beholden to Saudis and by extension, OPEC. There’s a lot on news crawls, etc. about the Saudi’s concern for diminishing oil demand. All part of his plan, the rat.

[blackdog]

Bravo Sierra Presidente'.

Isn't the media embarassed over the stupidity of this imported man-child?

[txrefugee]

And he’s keeping XL from being built so that his big donor, Warren Buffet, can keep his oil trains moving. He doesn’t care how dangerous that is.

[Dr. Sivana]

He stated that gas prices would go up in parts of the United States thanks to Keystone XL

I thought he was good with that, as long as it's kinda gradual.

an unhinged f*ck this ahole is

[Servant of the Cross]

I mostly blame the media.

No politician would LIE this brazenly and obviously unless he knew the feckless sycophants wouldn't call him on it.

Obama’s arrogance and intransigence suggest either he feels threatened, or he feels emboldened. Either way, we are entering dangerous times.

It would make more sense for Obama to moderate somewhat to try to gain Dim seats in 2014, and set up for a Dim successor in 2016.

Personally, I think he is up to something. Dims can win the presidency due to demographics, but stand to not gain the house and perhaps lose the senate for the same reason. I think we are headed to massive vote fraud in 2014.

One thing to understand is that it isn't just the XL pipeline. For instance, here in Michigan the Embridge pipeline is being upgraded to carry twice as much crude oil to the Sarnia refinery. Pipelines are already creating jobs on pipelines around the country.

[Cricket24]

How stupid is Obama? Is it going to build itself? My God! This man is....I don’t even have the words. WE cannot stand 4 more years of this asshole!

[high info voter]

What a liar!

[M Kehoe]

Either 0bama is dumb as a box of rocks, or he is lying to placate the environmentalist wackos.

Obama is a pathological serial liar.
And just how utterly stupid and logically incosistant is this guy?
He has said of his War on Coal, "Under my plan energy prices will necessarily skyrocket." Because he wants to deprive us of energy.
And now he's whining (and barefaced lying) that increasing the access of We The People to gas via the Keystone XL will raise gas prices.
Well which is it Obama? Do you want energy prices to necessarily skyrocket or don't you?

Using the most expensive oil is counterproductive.

Bernstein Research estimated that the non-Opec marginal cost of production - the cost of production for the most expensive new fields - rose to $104.50 a barrel in 2012, up more than 250% from $30 a barrel in 2002.
Using very expensive drillings helps oil to remain very expensive and helps OPEC to earn a lot of money.
For every $10 increase per barrel of oil price, OPEC's earnings soar by $100 billion per year.
Instead of using very expensive drillings in order to produce half a dozen million barrels of oil per day, it would be a better idea to save this oil.
Then, we could expect to see oil prices below $70.

[Venturer]

Who does this azzhole think he is that he gets sole say on whether or not a project not being paid for by the Government gets done.

It is up to the States that it affects to give the permits.
It isn’t up to the President of the United States to say what jobs can get done and which cannot.This CS er is not a King

[Alberta's Child]

He's probably right about gasoline prices rising if Keystone XL is built. Right now there is a huge glut of oil in North America, because the industry's capacity to extract it exceeds the capacity of the pipeline network to transport it to refineries. One of the indicators of this is the price of West Texas Intermediate crude, which is trading at a discount compared to Brent (North Sea) crude because of this supply chain problem.

I've said a number of times that completing the Keystone XL project will increase pipeline capacity to the Gulf Coast -- which will effectively allow for more exports of North American oil and eventually restore the historical balance between WTI and Brent crude oil prices.

[Carriage Hill]

Preface to having Dept of State and/or EPA kill it. He’s delayed it 4-years already; it isn’t going thru on his destructive watch.

What a pathetic Satanic ventriloquism act! Lies lies lies, and he never drinks a glass of water while making his puppet talk.

Thank You Satan 1:50sec

[Jeff Winston]

Industry implies 87 or 88% of oil would be used for US market.

I fail to see how an increase in supply, even if it’s less than that, drives up prices.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

How did we ever get to the point where a SINGLE MAN could decide the fate of major PRIVATE energy projects? What a horrible state of affairs.

His remark, on the face of it, is ignorant and just plain stupid. We can debate the number of jobs created by Keystone XL, but it is certainly greater than zero. Building nothing and putting your money in a mattress is what will create zero jobs.

Why does he doe this? 1) Childlike belief in the evils of carbon? 2) Beholden to Buffet? 3) Beholden to Saudis? 4) Hatred of Canadians because of their British connection? 5) Loves to poke sticks in the eyes of Americans? 6) All of the above?

[Gay State Conservative]

Won't create jobs? So that must mean that it would be one of those 2,500 mile pipelines that build themselves.Canadians should understand that Osama Obama is gonna kill this...just because he can...and because Moochelle’s future donors at “Earth First!” demands it.
