Obama: Keystone benefits for U.S. consumers, workers nominal (More crap sandwich advice)
Reuters ^ | 12/19/14 | Staff

Posted on 12/19/2014 1:34:17 PM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday that construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to transport crude oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast would only nominally benefit American consumers and workers. "There is very little impact - nominal impact - on U.S. gas prices, what the average American consumer cares about," Obama told reporters during an end-of-year press conference. In his strongest comments on the Canada-to-U.S. pipeline to date, Obama picked apart some of the most common arguments proponents have used to urge the president to approve it: that it would create jobs, lower domestic gasoline prices and bolster the U.S. economy.

“There is very little impact - nominal impact - on U.S. gas prices, what the average American consumer cares about,”

So true, so true. Because when supply goes up....prices never go down.

This is from the economic genius that said “Drill Baby Drill” won’t work. I guess I was hallucinating when I saw the 1.99 gas sign at lunch today.

0bama could be the best liar I have ever seen. A consummate professional. Like all pros, he makes it look effortless and easy because it comes to him so naturally.

I knew all along Obama would never go for the pipeline. He would just dangle it in front of people desperate for jobs and relief from high prices, then just say no.

He's not interested in anything that would be economically beneficial. All he wants are reparations for HIS people. And he will do whatever it takes to steal those benefits from the working class and give them to the slacker class.

Liberals say I'm a hater. They're right. I hate this guy's guts.

“”There is very little impact - nominal impact - on U.S. gas prices, what the average American consumer cares about,”

He knows this because he was told that by the same people who told him to say that people would be saving 2600 a year on their health care insurance thanks to obamacare.

What doesn’t this chucklehead understand about oil independence?...He seems to have mental blockage for a strong America! His Muslim oil buddies must be proud.

Obama constantly spews his propaganda because he is driven by his agenda which is false and a lie. He is incapable of recognizing the truth.

Bull$hit, more bull$hit, and additional bull$hit. It’s Obozo’s trademark.
