What a great time to block the Keystone XL pipeline Barack!!

Any increase in oil price will help vindicate Obama’s push for wind & solar. He can also say “I told you we cannot depend on oil - I was right all along”. So a disruption of oil shipping from the Gulf COULD help him get reelected.

This is all bogus, of course, but many, many ignorant voters will buy this crap. Obama's best asset is his ability to blame others (Bush), & IMO, if the Straits are blocked, it WILL be Bush's fault.

Fortunately, this wont trump long gas lines at $5/gal - 10 gallon limit. That will kill his reelection, for sure. So will a reluctance to reopen the Straits quickly & violently - you know how he likes to postpone difficult decisions.
