Fox News just said the decision from the Department of Energy on the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would take oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, will be “No.”
DoE says 60 days is not enough time to complete the environmental impact statements, and therefore the answer is no.
There’s no confirmation yet, but it’s unsurprising: why would the administration ever want to do anything to get us off Middle Eastern oil and create jobs?
Update (Bryan): Ed Henry tweets that the XL will be killed in an announcement this afternoon. If true, this will go down as one of the more foolish decisions this president has made. The science in support of the pipeline’s safety is solid. Nixing the pipeline forces Canada to look for another market for its oil, and China is more than happy to provide that market. The decision unnecessarily harms our relationship with our northern ally and sends the message that the United States still is not serious about reducing its dependency on unstable and hostile sources of the oil that we need to power our economy. The president would rather lose money on boondoggles like Solyndra than make a sound decision to expand our nation’s reliable sources of energy and create stable, high paying jobs.
Since I am criticizing the president, I suppose Andrew Sullivan and Newsweek will call me dumb. So be it. But this foolish president is on the verge of killing thousands of jobs in an election year, harming our relationship with an ally, while doing nothing about our dependence on unreliable sources of oil, all for no good reason.
Update (Bryan): Obama’s own jobs council is more sensible than the Department of Energy, arguing in its report that the US should adopt an “all-in” approach and should increase domestic drilling.
The report does not specifically mention the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but it endorses moving forward quickly with projects that “deliver electricity and fuel,” including pipelines.
“The Council recognizes the important safety and environmental concerns surrounding these types of projects, but now more than ever, the jobs and economic and energy security benefits of these energy projects require us to tackle the issues head-on and to expeditiously, though cautiously, move forward on projects that can support hundreds of thousands of jobs,” the report says.
The report retreats slightly from an interim report released in October that addressed the Keystone XL pipeline directly. The interim report appeared to offer cautious support for Keystone, calling on officials to “balance” environmental protections while realizing what it called the benefits of the pipeline.
Nevermind that a pipeline already exists in the area. Nevermind that the new keystone pipeline would have been designed with multiple redundancies and contingencies in the case of failure. Nevermind that the oil would have flowed -away- from the basin in the minute case of disaster. NEVERMIND that it would have made jobs (union jobs, no less!)
It’s oil which is gross and bad and kills the environment always so it must be stopped.
(and of course, nevermind about all the oil from the middle east, or the fact our economy is still largely an oil based economy.)
And, of course, never mind that this project has been under study for three years. If they can’t finish the review in that time, the gov’t need to stand aside.
The Saudi purchase of the State Department pays off again.
I wonder when we’ll find their receipt for the environmentalists?
If the Saudis had purchased or had even rented DoS we’d have bombed Iran long ago.
I think this will be a useful meme for Mitt if BHO wants to depict him as the “Bain Capital jobs-killer”.
Perhaps they should have designed the pipeline with solar collectors on top?
You don’t think the DoS is owned by the Saudis? And not just DoS, Bush was a Saudi puppet, just like Obama is now. The Sauds have been “investing” in influence in the US for years and it is paying off handsomely. If we get into a totally unnecessary conflict with Iran it will be to protect the Sauds and the rest of the gang of reactionary thugs in the Gulf.
“If we get into a totally unnecessary conflict with Iran it will be to protect the Sauds and the rest of the gang of reactionary thugs in the Gulf.”
Oh right. You mean like we protected the thugs in Egypt and Libya? Obama doesn’t care about that, he’d just rather dump more taxpayer money into ‘Green’
projects that go broke.
There has been some documentation of Saudi financial support of Environmentalist (groups) attacks against the Oil Sands, by Canadian SunTV, Ezra Levant, bloggers Five Feet of Fury(Kathy Shailde who guest blogs on PJMedia sometimes), and her blogger husband Blazing Cat Fur.
This administration is not interested in advancing our energy independence. They are not interested in making oil or gas cheaper.
They are not interested in job creation in the oil, gas, coal industries.
They are interested in thwarting them, in some instances…destroying them.
They will invest in Brazil/Soros energy, but nothing to assist the US economy. In the overthrow of capitalism, any excuse is as good as any other.
Obama only wants enough improvement to gain his second term as Fabian in the White House. Then, the Marxists can apply the coup de grace to the free market.
If Europe collapses before then, it’s not likely to matter much anyway. The leftists have already completed their destruction of that continent. Ours is their next victim.
If he were deliberately trying to destroy America what would he do differently?
wear a leisure suit?
and to expeditiously, though cautiously, move forward on projects that can support hundreds of thousands of jobs
Translation: “We’ll pretend to move forward on pipelines and drilling while actually stalling at the behest of the EPA and envirofascists.”
Works for me, perverse as that may sound. If the Stupid Party grew a brain they would highlight this issue front-and-center as proof positive that Obama is intent on sabotaging the American economy. It won’t matter that “this may not be factually true,” because this is an election year, and the facts on the stalling of the American energy sector afre indisputable.
Let me get this straight. We have spent billions on failed Solor panel company’s, and other alternative energy sources, waited three weeks before addressing a major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico-so the oil had time to reach the coastline-while available standard and innovation technology were refused and denied. We have a “shovel ready” alternative energy source ready for wide expansion- that uses hydrogen in natural gas and make water as a waste product, that we barely acknowledge. We have recently discovered the greatest supply of natural energy resources that can supply home grown energy while we make the shift, and Our President is letting the Department of Energy say No to a work project that would empoly hundreds of thousand of Citizen, strengthen a bond between a neighbor nation. I think its time we look at replacing this King before he is coranated! Obama’s leadership has gone by stupid and has reached insane!
Yep thats it in a nutshell.
The war of the internationalist subversives against America continues.
Didn’t the Grand Exalted potentate say that the only way we’ll get weaned off of fossil fuels is to drive the price of energy through the roof. Bingo! This joker is either the Manchurian candidate or a moron. Either way we’re screwed. With a foreign company counting the votes in November fat chance we’ll get rid of him. Bye bye Miss American Pie…..
The Manchurian candidate is exactly who he is. Surely that is becoming evident to even the most politically ignorant. The things he does have ceased to take my breath away, though he seems to successively top whatever the last act of sabotage he committed is. It seems impossible that he will get re-elected, despite the establishments best efforts. As bad as he is, even Romney may win in a landslide comparable to the Reagan/Carter election.
And we’d get a little less of more-of-the-same, and a likely Repugnicon majority in both houses with a mandate to keep driving for the cliff, if a little more slowly.
It’s about time to hit the brakes and reverse course, don’t you think?
Modern liberals–unlike their pre-environmentalist counterparts like FDR and Truman and LBJ–would gladly sacrifice the jobs of American citizens if necessary to protect the environment.
Hoover Dam, a showpiece of the New Deal, would never be allowed to happen today. Modern liberals, infected with environmentalism, hate dams. In fact, they hate building anything in undeveloped land.
If any liberals disagree with my statement, then let them cite any specific projects in undeveloped land that they actually support.
This is why I laughed when I saw that ridiculous Rachel Maddow commercial where she is sitting in front of the Hoover Dam, talking about how only progressive big government can build something like that.
So, 60 days is not enough time – on top of the 3 years they have already devoted to studying the project. We should all keep in mind that one of the most detailed environmental studies ever done was completed on this project and concluded that there were no environmental risks that would preclude its approval. The major issue here is that the presidential election won’t be concluded in 60 days.
I hope all the people on food stamps appreciate what Baroke has done for them — and all the people about to get food stamps. Hey 1%, work double time, ya know you have 99% to feed and house; oh, and give us all your money. Isn’t working reward enough?
I seem to remember the Institutional Republicans and their supporters engaging in a round of self-congratulation, because instead of making Obama decide right then when the issue was hot and they had leverage; they kicked the can down the road to avoid standing up to him and promised us that they had him right where they wanted him, because he would NEVER be able to say no and take the heat for it.
It is like they don’t want to beat him on any issue at all.
Subotai Bahadur
Yep, its kinda like that. It is all a dog-and-pony show. They think the fix is in. They underestimate us.
I live in Nebraska and would have been OK with the pipeline on its original route, but thought that rerouting the pipeline was the best way. Most people here were not against the pipeline, but a majority wanted the route changed.
What bothers me the most is that we shouldn’t need a new pipeline. We should build refineries right over our own oil and get it ourselves. We wouldn’t need to purchase oil from Canada if we would drill for our own oil.
I am as ardent a supporter of domestic drilling as you are likely to find, however even if we stepped up drilling ten-fold we are unlikely to be able to produce as much oil as we consume.
We do have proven reserves of coal though that could meet a lot of our demand. One thing that baffles me though is at the current cost of a barrel of oil, around $100, why don’t we use the well known Fischer-Tropsch process to convert that coal into synthetic fuel. From the research I have read the F-T process would create fuel at around $60 to $70 per barrel.
We could become totally independent on foreign oil (including Canada) if we would just allow development of tar sand and shale oil formations that are locked up by presidential decree. The eco-nazis in this country have succeeded in large part with pressure on Bill Clinton to lock up those large tracts of public land through presidential orders before leaving office. Bush should have overturned it but failed to do so. Saudi influence once again? Possibly. On both parties.
Who do you think is running this country? It may not be who you think it is. Obama is as much a puppet to his backers as Bush and Clinton were to theirs – Obama is no different – he has his orders. Big money wins the day – this is why Romney is out front.
Oil trade groups: Drilling deregulation could create 190,000 jobs Published: 12:04 AM 07/12/2011| Updated: 2:34 AM 07/12/2011

Gasoline Taxes Vs. Exxon Profit, Per Gallon
http://www.dailymarkets.com/economy/2011/04/27/gasoline-taxes-vs-exxon-profit-per-gallon/
A seldom looked at subject is big oil profits vs US Government taxes raked in vs big oil’s tax ‘welfare’. For doing next to nothing the Fed rakes in huge money from oil and related products yet I’ve never seen or heard a word about the relationship on the alphabet soup news.
Obama has handed the GOP a huge drum that they can bang on right up to the elections. Don’t look for the Idiot Savants – AKA – GOP – to learn drum-banging any time soon.
The issue is as clear as glass. Our advanced industrial society can not survive without burning carbon. Once this was an engineering, and chemistry problem; now it is clearly a nontechnical ideological problem. Technical people can no longer contribute; this is pure politics. The schedule for the environmental impact statement review could easily take centuries. This is the same schedule for the spent fuel storage facility at Yucca Mountain. It was suppose to begin operation in January 1998.
Without such projects, America will be left weak and in dire trouble. The price of energy, fuel, or electricity, will far outstrip your ability to pay. Our nation will regress to the poverty of third world nations. Zimbabwe now uses pine knots for lighting; they once used fluorescent lights. We follow that madness.
Our choices are crystal clear.
Carbon and Life
It is hard to overstate the importance of carbon; its unique capacity for forming multiple bonds and chains at low energies makes life as we know it possible, and justifies an entire major branch of chemistry – organic chemistry – dedicated to its compounds. In fact, most of the compounds known to science are carbon compounds, often called organic compounds because it was in the context of biochemistry that they were first studied in depth.
What makes carbon so special is that every carbon atom is eager to bond with as many as four other atoms. This makes it possible for long chains and rings to be formed out of them, together with other atoms – almost always hydrogen, often oxygen, sometimes nitrogen, sulfur or halides. The study of these is the basis of organic chemistry; the compounds carbon forms with metals are generally considered inorganic.
Chains and rings are fundamental to the way carbon-based life forms – that is, all known life-forms – build themselves. Silicon is capable of forming the same sorts of bonds and structures, but opinion is divided on whether silicon-based life forms are a realistic prospect – in part because it needs higher energies to form them, and in part because whereas carbon dioxide (one of the main by-products of respiration, a process essential to all known life) is a gas and therefore easy to remove from the body, its counterpart silicon dioxide (silica) has an inconveniently high melting point, posing a serious waste disposal problem for any would-be silicon-based life form.
There are no environmental concerns; the project and its environmental impact have been studied for three, yes, three, years.
The issue, for Obama, is, I suggest, Soros and Brazil. Soros wants Obama to purchase Brazilian oil, in which he has a large financial stake, whereas Soros has zilch to do with the Canadian Alberta oil.
After all, Obama has rejected US internal drilling for oil, in favour of Brazilian purchases – and is rejecting the Canadian oil as well. It can’t be for environmental reasons because these issues have already been addressed and settled.
I don’t even think it’s so much for his leftist base; are the environmentalists, who are against oil and energy – [they use broomsticks and magic carpets to get around] – are they that high a ratio among the electorate?
They are vocal – but are they proportionally vital to his re-election?
After all, Obama has only one agenda: his own power and re-election. He has no interest in America or American prosperity.
I think he needs Soros and his money and his union contacts and his network of cronyism.
As for Canada, they have, quite possibly the best leader on this globe at the moment. Stephen Harper is a quiet, unassuming, extremely intelligent strategist (an economist) whose focus is, not on himself, but on the well-being of Canada and Canadians.
Harper warned Obama that he can’t take Canada for granted; Obama’s narcissist reaction would be, to ‘give the finger’ to Canada and Harper for daring to confront and not Bow Before The One. That’s a second reason, the personal psychological reason, for Obama’s rejection of this pipeline. You must never, ever, stand as an equal to The One. Harper did just that.
Harper will start up negotiations with China (he leaves in a few weeks for yet another visit to China) for the pipeline. I’ll bet that he’ll hoping that the GOP win this year – so that a new GOP President will accept that pipeline. But if not, if Obama wins again – the oil will go to China and the jobs to Canada.
High carbon energy prices are a stated goal of the Democrats, in order to promote ‘green’ energy. This policy is imposing the cruelest tax; Inflation. The cost of basics like groceries and energy is way up, and claiming there is no inflation is an obvious lie. How can prices remain flat when it costs a lot more to distribute goods?
The funny thing is Obama believes setting up a bureaucracy to use union labor to insulate a few inner city homes offsets the incalculable damage of high energy costs. The average family is paying $1300 more for gasoline than they did in 2007. This is more than saved with the payroll tax reduction, which does nothing to lower the cost of living.
Is a policy of promoting green energy by using the tactic of making normal energy costs exhorbitantly high – a reasonable policy? Can it be successful?
Only if green energy already exists and is less expensive than normal energy.
The problem is, that green energy does NOT exist in any but the most miniscule amounts and its costs are extraordinarily high, such that only a minimal number of people can afford such usage.
Therefore, what is the function of reducing the economic robustness and viability of the American economy – by depriving it of the energy required to run that economy – what is the purpose of such an action?
Or is Obama living in a mythic imaginary realm, wherein he considers that green energy DOES exist, and all that is required is to punish those who reject it?
Or, is Obama embedded in a corrupt cronyism, where he is guided by such people as Soros, who is reducing the ability of the US to produce its own oil and gas energy – in favor of America having to purchase that oil from the Soros empire in Brazil?
Which agenda is it?
ETAB,
Those agendas are NOT mutually exclusive
Kevin – you are absolutely right. Thanks.
The pipeline would have passed through (and created construction jobs in) a group of states each of which voted for McCain in 2008 (collectively by wide margin.) Nearly 900,000 votes of that pro-McCain margin were from Texas which would have benefited the most from the project.It is unlikely that any of those states would have voted for Obama in 2012 in any event. Labor has no place else to go and public employees and unskilled labor dominate the labor movement nowadays anyway. National security is not a major concern of BHO’s. That made it an easy decision despite the minuscule (or perhaps non-existent) number of voters who would have voted for the Republican candidate, or not voted at all, on account of this issue. It is simply a pain free (for BHO) opportunity to punish his political opponents.
– Canadian Natural will make me rich, provided the mandarins on the other end of the re-routed pipeline let me keep it.
Hmmm. Stuck between the greens and the unions, he chose the greens. Give the guy credit for having cajones!
I think they should just start building, let the videos of Obama’s jack-booted thugs armed with automatic weapons swarming in and shutting them down hit the evening news.
Since I am criticizing the president, I suppose Andrew Sullivan and Newsweek will call me dumb.
No – he’ll probably call you racist. I think that page is still in use with progressives. Its under the ‘Illogical but useful Metaphors’ section in the Progressive Handbook. Since a metaphor is so often an intangible no further explanation is required (in their minds).
“all for no good reason.” – Mr.Richardson I beg to disagree.
On the way to a Utopian vision of society, all hard-working people and especially the innovative individuals of the current society that make it work; must be destroyed in order to be replaced with the “fundamentally changed” version of which Obama and his fellow travelers dream, and one which only Obama and his fellow travelers can rule. The only problem is … they don’t know what that Utopian society is … so it’s constantly changing direction like a ship without a rudder.
As crazy as it sounds, I say the reason that this administration is nixing the Keystone is simply that it doesn’t belong in their imaginary pristine Utopia. They don’t care about the fallout; it’s all heading in the right direction which is a society of their making and one where they call the shots. That, is a very “good reason” to squelch the Keystone Pipeline … in fundamentally changing America, the Constitution is regarded the same exact way – as an obstacle to the ‘progress’ towards Utopia.
Two comments from the Canadian government:
1) This is from the Minister for Natural Resources:
“99% of our oil exports currently flow to theUnited States. Today’s decision by the Obama Administration underlines the importance of diversifying and expanding our markets, including the growing Asian market, to help ensure the financial security of Canadians and families for decades to come.”
That’s pretty clear. The Minister said that Canadian energy production is vital to the Canadian economy and that Canada is not going to disable its economy to the political whims of ‘the Obama Administration’. [Note that he did not say, ‘President Obama’s Administration’; he left off the dignity of the title’.
2) And Prime Minister Harper said:
“But just because certain people in the United States would like to see Canada be one giant national park for the northern half of North America, I don’t think that’s part of what our review process (for the Northern Gateway) is all about.” (CBC News, Jan. 16, 2012).
That is, the focus isn’t on the environment as a national park – and remember, this pipeline went through three years of reviews – but on the value – fiscal, economic and envtal – of such a pipeline.
Canada is not going to be a partner in Obama’s election campaign. But again, my view is that this has less to do with the environment, for the ratio of such radicals isn’t enough to win the election for Obama. The decision has more to do with MONEY. George Soros’s money – which is invested in Brazil. He wants the US to get its oil from Brazil – and Obama needs Soros’ money and networks for his election. That’s what it’s all about. Money for Obama’s political election. Not jobs-for-Americans. Or lowered energy costs. Or green energy. Phooey to all of that. It’s about Obama.
Everyone interested in this should fly from Seattle to Alaska on a rare clear day and when ATC routes the flights inland rather than out over the Pacific. When you pull out of SEA and swing around to the north and west overland, you fly over pristine, roadless wilderness in Western Washington. There are a few little towns a road or two, you’re usually east of I-5, and other than that, it is mountains, a few snow-capped, and a few glaciers left in the highest places, and the uninterrupted green of spruce, hemlock, and fir trees. Logging in Western Washington is so long gone that the roads, railroads, and those awful, awful clearcuts are all gone; you really have to know what you’re looking for to see any evidence of a once very, very rich logging industry.
Then you cross the Canadian Border! The lefties like to say that borders are just lines on a map, not on the Earth, but you can By God see that border! The logging roads and clear-cuts begin right at the Border and go on into Northern British Columbia; unlike the US, the Canadians understand and appreciate the value of their resources and they USE THEM. We sometimes snidely look down at our decidedly more liberal on some issues Canadian neighbors, God knows we in Alaska do, especially about guns, but they haven’t turned their resource development and environmental policies over to a bunch of communists intent on destroying the Country, as have we.
I’ve flown all the way from Seattle, WA to Barrow, AK, the northern-most point in the US, numerous times (you can’t do it in one flight; SEA-ANC, ANC-FAI, FAI-BRW – it’s about six hours of flight time in a B-737). You can see economic activity, roads, logging, paper mills, mines, even from 40,000 feet, the altitude Alaska’s B-737 – 700s make the SEA-ANC or SEA-JNU trip at – only the military goes higher and you can begin to see the curvature of the Earth at that altitude (or that might be the curvature of my bifocals, but it is real high). In WA or Alaska you really have to know where and when to look to see the slightest sign that man has ever set foot there. At night if it’s clear, rarely, you might see the lights of Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wrangell, Sitka, Juneau, Yakutat, Cordova, Valdez and the Valdez oil terminal, Whittier, and then Anchorage is a big light blob by the time you get past Valdez. I used to love hearing greenies and tourists carrying on about the huge “old growth forests” around Juneau; a hundred years ago at the height of gold mining, there wasn’t a tree within twenty miles of Juneau, they were all cut for firewood, dimension lumber, mine timbers, or pilings. From ANC, once you leave Sarah Palin territory, the ANC northeastern suburbs, it is pretty much solid black, a house here and there, a small town here and there, for an hour to Fairbanks, a town of 40K, then it is the kind of jet black that you can’t imagine unless you’ve been there for the hour or so until you begin to see Barrow or Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay). In daytime, unless you know what you’re looking for and where to look you will not see the Prudhoe Bay and its satellites oil fields, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline or the Haul-Road of Ice Road Truckers fame. For most of the ANC to BRW trip, other than the plane you’re on the only sign of man you’re likely to see is the contrails of a big freighter or intercontinental flight coming to or from the US or Europe to The Orient. When I first came to Alaska in the mid-70s, the one thing you’d never see in ANC was contrails; any airplane in this part of the World was going to stop in ANC to refuel and probably change crews. ANC billed itself the “Crossroads of the Air World” and it was a major part of our economy. We built a beautiful international terminal with oil money in the ’80s and companies put up some really nice hotels (and a few strip joints) to cater to Orientals going to and from the US and Europe who would stop over in Alaska. Then, Boeing built the B-747 SP that could fly passengers non-stop from the US or Europe to The Orient. Our multi-million dollar terminal sat empty for years, lots of hotels and other businesses went broke. But, the air freighter had a choice of hauling paying freight or non-revenue fuel, and we kept jet fuel prices competitively low, so they’d haul more freight and refuel here and ANC became one of the largest air cargo ports in the World. About three in the afternoon, you’ll see a steady stream of B-747s and such taking a slight right turn over the ANC marker on their way to the Orient with passengers and you’ll see a steady stream of B-747s, MD-11s, and such taking off from Anchorage International having been refueled and serviced for the rest of their trip to the Orient, Europe, or the continental US. But, unless you were within 50 miles of Anchorage, you’d never see or know about any of that.
I do not see this as fortunate choice. Even if new energy technologies appeared tomorrow, the period of practical changeover from the old to the new would almost certainly be longer than the breakeven period for the pipeline. Of course, besides nuclear fission, no new practical energy breakthrough technologies, of the scale necessary to make replacement of oil practical in the next 20 years, are on the near short-term horizon that I am aware of—or if there are they are not publically known (and to use insider information for public policy decisions would be a lamentable thing, if the government knew something was about to break that would dramtically change economic decision making and used the information but did not let the public know so that the average investor could also make the same kind of savvy investment decisions in time to avoid putting his money in ventures about to be less certain/renumerative)
Therefore, this delay is most likely all about punishing enemies one does not like, even if that enemy’s only crime was to be something the decision maker did not like, and is attempting to basically de facto ban. In this case, fossil fuels. Tomorrow it will be something else.
How much money did the Chinese give to Obama’s re-election campaign?
Hmmmn. Three years and they still haven’t finished their homework assignment, err, analysis. Shouldn’t somebody somewhere get flunked? Booted? Kicked out? Fired?
It’s the downer vibes that the Obamacrats are sending out with this decision that will turn out to be the real prosperity killer.
“Measured in dollars, the nation is on pace this year to ship more gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel than any other single export, according to U.S. Census data going back to 1990. It will also be the first year in more than 60 that America has been a net exporter of these fuels.”

It’s ‘interesting’ 60 days, though let’s face it this pipeline has been in the works for YEARS is ‘not enough time’ to make a decision.
Though 3 days was ‘ample’ time for a 2,700 page behemoth mandated health insurance bill the CiC admitted to not reading became law.
Though Uhbama said in ’11 no decisions on the pipeline will be made until ’13. You know, after the election. For committing to something is so darn, oh I don’t know, ‘leadership-like’ for Mr. ‘Present’.
As Uhbama tries to fly the wings off AF1 this election year and blames ALL besides himself for our country’s economic, foreign policy, employment, border, energy/fuel cost woes remember that.
If 60 days is not long enough for the administration to arrive at a sound and sensible decision, how the hell would they cope with another Pearl Harbour?
And now we know who benefits…BN/Santa Fe a Berkshire / Buffet company will be transporting oil from ND. Obama has cronies in the “old” economy too, who knew?
What? 30 days isnt enough time Mr.President?How about the previous three years?Just what did americans spend their money on for those assessments?More enviro gobbledy gook and questionable science?
The Dems are going to get hammered this year because of this issue.After all it was the Left that said this “Its about the economy stupid!”
So we are making it about the economy…stupid!
