Is that the one where he went to Harry Reid last week and told him to get the votes to stop construction? Just checking.
Rush played some of Obama’s comments in OK including the claim that we couldn’t produce enough oil even if we drilled on the White House lawn. It’s been quite a while since I was in OK, but I recall seeing an oil well pumping on the grounds of the State Capital. The locals seemed quite happy with it.
Anybody else see a pattern here:
Government intervention in the energy industry: FAIL
Government intervention in the medical industry: FAIL
Government intervention in agriculture: FAIL
Government intervention in education: FAIL
So now he’s a small government guy?
Will the MSM question his motives? FAIL!
How does the Current Occupant do it? I mean, the fantastic job of ventriloquism, by which he manages to look like his rectal orfice is doing all the talking.
Or maybe it really is doing the talking. But one would expect that organ would have more native good sense.
Well, isn’t that nice of Obummer.
The southern leg doesn’t need Federal Approval like the XL does. It doesn’t cross an international border!
or visa versa.
The is pure hypocrisy as Obama had nothing to do with approving this section of the pipeline. Meanwhile North Dakota oil has to be sent by truck and train to refineries.
Wow, I can't wait to read the transcript of the Q&A Session with the Press after the announcement. I bet he got grilled hard on why he changed his mind so fast.
Right....?

Obama is still at the level of tin-pot chicago activist, looking for favorable headlines on the 5 o’clock local news.
Obama Administration Slams GOP for Forcing Keystone Approval
January 25, 2012
the Obama State Department is bashing House Republicans for forcing Keystone approval.
******
Dave Collyer, president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, said while Obama’s directive is a step in the right direction, it neglects the most vital leg of the pipeline for Canada.
“I think the important thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t help move incremental volume out of Canada so we still need the northern leg of the pipeline to be built or some other alternative,” said Collyer.
Republicans said the moves were little more than a publicity stunt, arguing that it wouldn’t help Canadian company TransCanada build the pipeline any sooner. Construction is expected to begin in June with completion next year.
“The American people can’t afford more half-measures on energy from the president. No matter what he says, the reality is he killed the Keystone pipeline and the energy production and 20,000 jobs that went with it,” said Kirsten Kukowski, a Republican National Committee spokeswoman.
Obama defends handling of Keystone pipeline
CUSHING, Okla. (AP) — President Barack Obama firmly defended his record on oil drilling Thursday, ordering the government to fast-track an Oklahoma pipeline while accusing Congress of playing politics with a larger Canada-to-Gulf Coast project.
Deep in Republican oil country, Obama said lawmakers refused to give his administration enough time review the controversial 1,170-mile Keystone XL pipeline in order to ensure that it wouldn’t compromise the health and safety of people living in surrounding areas.
“Unfortunately, Congress decided they wanted their own timeline,” Obama said. “Not the company, not the experts, but members of Congress who decided this might be a fun political issue decided to try to intervene and make it impossible for us to make an informed decision.”
Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is proving himself to be a blithering idiot.
Obama says what he thinks his audience wants to be true, and then expects us to believe his lie.
