Somebody Gets It

Alwaleed warns of US shale danger…

Fracking Is Threat To Kingdom…

Do the Americans know? Not likely!!! SNORE … who will tell them, they will never figure it out for themselves, as Obama’s no drill policy cripples our economy.

The lies he is telling about the Keystone XL pipeline are getting side splitting funny. The Saudi’s are not laughing … Just think if we had no Obama …

Them Americans they are likely to really do it … As soon as they get rid of the rock in their way. When?

As He Desperately tries to Bail His Administration’s Sinking Ship

But will it work, or have enough people caught on? Mr. Obama don’t you know the New York Times is not to be trusted on anything, anymore?

Note he always goes to a friendly venue to try and get HIS (Lies) story out…

Interview With President Obama (by The New York Times):

MR. OBAMA: …And one of the interesting things that we don’t talk about enough is the contrast between what’s happened in the United States and what’s happened in a lot of other developing countries, Europe in particular.

SNIP…

MR. OBAMA: (Keystone pipeline) Well, first of all, Michael, Republicans have said that this would be a big jobs generator. There is no evidence that that’s true. And my hope would be that any reporter who is looking at the facts would take the time to confirm that the most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline — which might take a year or two — and then after that we’re talking about somewhere between 50 and 100 [chuckles] jobs in a economy of 150 million working people.

SNIP…

MR. OBAMA: Jackie, if you heard me on stage today, what I said was that I will seize any opportunity I can find to work with Congress to strengthen the middle class, improve their prospects, improve their security –

NYT: No, but specifically –

MR. OBAMA: — but where Congress is unwilling to act, I will take whatever administrative steps that I can in order to do right by the American people.

And if Congress thinks that what I’ve done is inappropriate or wrong in some fashion, they’re free to make that case. But there’s not an action that I take that you don’t have some folks in Congress who say that I’m usurping my authority. Some of those folks think I usurp my authority by having the gall to win the presidency. And I don’t think that’s a secret. But ultimately, I’m not concerned about their opinions — very few of them, by the way, are lawyers, much less constitutional lawyers.

Barry…. You are a constitutional “ lecturer” not a lawyer…..

As they say, where are your “ bona fides” to prove your claim of superiority in that regard.

No Longer Afraid To Critize: TransCanada Says Keystone XL Will Create Many Jobs, Despite Obama Comments

You cannot Hide the truth.

As the worm turns, it’s no longer a critism free zone, at least it the UK : TransCanada Corp. stands by its forecast that its controversial Keystone XL pipeline project will be a major job creator after U.S. president Barack Obama derided the claim in a weekend interview.

Not clear when our slumbering USA press will awake from their “Obama stupor”. Probably not until their death, will that ever happen. Much as the former Soviet press did …

Obama on Keystone XL pipeline, ‘the fix is in’

Americans overwhelmingly support building the pipeline : Well, the State Department has already found that Keystone XL will have no impact on the climate because Canada will still develop its oil sands.

Canada is going to process the oil sands, pipeline or not. If it has to, Canada will turn to China for oil processing which will likely increase the CO2, as if that is a real problem, and not an Obama ginned up hoax to try and get you to pay more taxes to Big Government …. The globe is going to melt!!!

So what about all those new African coal fired power plants you sir, just granted? What will those coal fired power plants, do to the globe, huh??? Global Warming WAK, WAK WeeHoo … chicken little Obama squawks…

We fiddle around with windmills, which obviously don’t work when the wind don’t blow and you blow billions on African coal power plants. WHY?

Canadian Minister: Put Up Or Shut Up On Keystone XL

Energy:

As the EPA snipes at the State Department’s approval, Canada’s natural resource minister says failure to approve the pipeline would seriously jeopardize our energy relationship and do nothing to save the earth.

Joe Oliver, not amused by the continued delays in perhaps the most shovel-ready project since the pyramids, said Wednesday that rejection by the U.S. of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline “would represent a serious reversal in our long-standing energy relationship.”

This critical energy infrastructure project is also perhaps the most studied and approved. After a reroute at the behest of environmentalists allegedly concerned about the sensitive Ogallala Aquifer, it received approval from the state of Nebraska.

The U.S. State Department, which must approve or deny the project because it crosses an international boundary, recently released its second Keystone XL supplemental environmental impact statement, which represents the project’s fourth environmental review.

It found the pipeline would not accelerate global greenhouse gas emissions or significantly harm natural habitat along its route.

Almost immediately, the Environmental Protection Agency, the sock puppet of the environmental movement, objected to the State Department’s draft review, saying it included “insufficient information on environmental issues.” The EPA said State used an outdated “energy-economic modeling effort” in its analysis that concluded tar sands oil would find its way to market without Keystone.

Of course, considering the economic impact of mindless environmentalism is completely foreign to the EPA. But it is not a concept foreign to Joe Oliver.

Poll: Majority Of American Say Keystone Pipeline More Important Than Climate Change By More Than 2 To 1…

And yet Obama is still defying the American people by refusing to green light the project.

Via Yahoo! News:

A new poll released this week by Nik Nanos, a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, revealed that the majority of Americans and Canadians feel that the energy security that could be provided by the Keystone XL pipeline is more important than concerns over climate change.

* According to the poll, 63 percent of Americans think that having North America free from importing oil from outside the continent is more important than reducing greenhouse gases. Thirty percent of respondents felt that reducing greenhouse gases was the priority of the two issues.

* In Canada, 55 percent selected freeing North America for imported oil as more important, while 38 percent chose addressing greenhouse gases.

* Seventy percent of Americans and 60 percent of Canadians are favorable to the idea of the Keystone pipeline, Nanos’ poll revealed, with 74 and 68 percent respectively stating that they support or somewhat support proceeding with the project.

* Seventy-six percent of Americans and 66 percent of Canadians feel that a continental energy strategy should be pursued, and most of those polled from each country felt that there should be common environmental standards.

* When asked about the importance of reducing greenhouse gases separately from the issue of the Keystone XL pipeline, a majority of both Americans and Canadians felt that the issue was important.

* Eighty-eight percent of Americans feel that ensuring a stable energy supply is important, but that number drops to 60 percent in Canada.

* Eleven percent of Americans and 14 percent of Canadians expressed that reducing greenhouse gases is unimportant.

Keystone Pipeline Comes Out On Top With American People

Majority Say Pipeline More Important Than Climate Change – Yahoo! News

According to the poll, 63 percent of Americans think that having North America free from importing oil from outside the continent is more important than reducing greenhouse gases. Thirty percent of respondents felt that reducing greenhouse gases was the priority of the two issues.

The climate change hoax is losing badly. As it should, a lie is a lie.

Approve The Pipeline Dummy!!!

 In another rebuke to the Obama Administration, 17 Senate Democrats joined their Republican amendment to pass an amendment directing the Obama Administration to immediately approve the proposed Keystone Pipeline.

The defections came even as Sen. Barbara Boxer argued aggressively against the amendment. While this amendment is also non-bidding, it shows that support for building the pipeline is enough to overcome any future filibuster on the issue. It too is another sign that many of the Democrats’ political fortunes are separate from Obama’s agenda.

Proof we have Proof.

Barbara  Boxer(lunatic - CA) is the last of the carbon takers and wealth transfer VIA hoaxing the public into believing the snow outside their window is proof of global warming. As well as the Al Gore snowman standing stoically on the white snow covered lawn.

 

Obama: Meh, the Keystone Pipeline Won’t Really Create Jobs, You Know

Well yeah sure … I assume he was planing who would build it, he didn’t say.

House Republicans’ big meeting with President Obama on the Hill yesterday didn’t yield any sudden changes of heart on reaching some kind of big deficit bargain (shocking, considering howpure and straightforward I’m sure the president’s motives were, ahem hem), but the president also kept his cards close to the vest on energy and how his administration is going to play the Keystone pipeline when Republicans pushed him on it. The White House insists that he didn’t provide any clues as to which way internal deliberations are leaning, but he did take a moment to rag on the economic benefits the pipeline’s construction could provide.

The AP reports:

Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., said Obama appeared “conflicted” on the pipeline, saying that many of the promised jobs would be temporary and that much of the oil produced likely would be exported.

But Terry said Obama also indicated that dire environmental consequences predicted by pipeline opponents were exaggerated.

“He said there were no permanent jobs, and that the oil will be put on ships and exported and that the only ones who are going to get wealthy are the Canadians,” Terry said. …

Obama said the pipeline “is not going to create as many jobs as you (Republicans) hope,” Scalise said. …

On at least one aspect of the pipeline, Obama is “flat-out-wrong,” Terry said. While some oil is likely to be exported, the total is far less than a majority, Terry said. “That was disturbing to me,” he said.

Okay, President Obama — let’s accept for a moment the premise that the Keystone pipeline will not create all of the direct jobs its proponents have claimed. That’s still not a reason not to build it, especially considering your own State Department has finally conceded its impact will be environmentally neutral. We’re talking about allowing free trade and the free market to function as it should, with both Canada and private companies investing in a fixture in the United States that would move oil to markets and grow the economy — and simply allowing that economic freedom, instead of shutting it down, does create jobs, and a heck of a lot more efficiently than all of the failed stimulus and government spending your administration has enacted to keep us stuck in the Longest. Recovery. Ever. Time to try something different, maybe?

One Chart Answers The Keystone Pipeline Mystery

Still confused why crony capitalist #1, the “rustic” Octogenarian of Omaha, and Obama tax advisor #1, Warren Buffett has been aggressively attempting to corner the railroad market, while the administration relentlessly refuses to allow assorted new, and very much competing petroleum pipelines from America’s neighbor to the north to cross through the US (in gratitude for the former’s generous “tax advice” and pedigree by association)?

Hint: it’s not concern about the environment. The answer is the chart below…

Rail car Petroleum Loadings

See crony capitalism at work … But the trains and their owner do the work, and get the cash. It’s not that oil is not going to the Gulf Coast refineries, it’s who gets the cash for getting it their.

Pipelines are so much cheaper!!!

Democrats are so much looking out for the folks, aren’t they? Imagine that Obama donors get the cash. You pay their bills.
