Great debater, mostly fabulous teleprompter reader. Crappiest. President. Evah. Or at least since Carter.
The Obama administration announced Thursday that the State Department is re-evaluating the route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, a move that will likely delay a final decision on the project until after the 2012 election.
TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline would carry oil sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Texas. The proposed pipeline has set off a firestorm in Washington, with critics raising environmental concerns and proponents arguing the project will boost the economy.
Obama has faced a dilemma between appeasing the unions, who want the pipeline (and for once, the unions are right) and the greenies who want us all living in grass huts burning cow dung to keep warm at night. I guess that video by Julia Louis-Dreyfus sealed the deal for the Bamster. About 20,000 jobs won’t happen now, while the president subverts the US economy and our energy security to the needs of his re-election.
Me Tar-Sands, you refrain.
You’d think someone in the Democrat Party would realize that crushing America in every possible way is not the way to win a second term. And may cost the Left the Senate and again, the House. Is there no one on the Left who will stand up to multiple wars, insane deficits, a ruined economy, jumping into bed with the OWS crime wave, and disastrous poll numbers for their side?
The Obama Jobs Bill: Another 20,000+/- potential jobs lost at minimu, but don’t forget the multiplier effect.
Every 1 manufacturing job creates between 2 and 5 jobs in other sectors, according to most economists. The lowball estimate, therefore, means Obot has negated the creation of 60,000 jobs (20,000 direct jobs, plus 40,000 in other sectors).
If I recall correctly, the union actually estimated the pipeline would create a total of 100,000 jobs.
The State Department, through its spokesperson Tinkerbell, now says that the
indecision was not at all political. Moreover,All who believe in Tinkerbell’s magic should clap their hands, lest
Captain Hookthe nasty Republicans prevail in their wicked ways.
