I’ve had to re-write this post twice.
Luckily, by now, I’ve managed to calm down. If 210/190 is calm.
Mr Obama has killed the Keystone XL pipeline proposal and, in perfect political form, blamed his rejection on the Republicans instead of his warped ideologies. And they are indeed warped.
Through the years I’ve attempted to be somewhat civil in my writings about Mr Obama. That said I’ve never, you may have noticed, placed the word “president” adjacent the name of Mr Obama, because I didn’t believe then nor believe now that he deserves to have those two words immediately linked.
But I digress; for those unaware, the Keystone XL pipeline is a project wherein the company TransCanada proposes to build a 1,700-mile pipeline from Canada proper down into Texas and to Gulf Coast refineries. This $7 billion dollar enterprise portends, at minimum, some 10,000+ American jobs and is endorsed by many unions, the states involved, and Congress — in some rather unusual bipartisan support.
Mr Obama also had until February 21st to decide. It was he who decided to make the early announcement — absent further investigation — a full month earlier than required. A further month that could have been utilized to “review” the issue.
From NationalJournal.com:
In a decision that quickly re-ignited a fierce energy debate, the Obama administration on Wednesday rejected the controversial Keystone XL pipeline because the 60-day deadline imposed by Republicans did not allow adequate time to review an alternate route through an ecologically sensitive area in Nebraska.
And that, on its face, is a bald LIE. Not a prevarication, not a mistake, not a misstatement — it is a naked LIE.
The Keystone XL project has been under examination and the most severe scrutiny for the past three years. As you can see by the graphic, due to this scrutiny, the proposed pipeline has already been moved in order to accommodate various “aquifer concerns.”
Luckily, Republican reaction was quick:
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, decried the news. “President Obama is about to destroy tens of thousands of American jobs and sell American energy security to the Chinese,” said Brendan Buck. “The president won’t stand up to his political base even to create American jobs. This is not the end of this fight.”
I should care to point out: make no mistake. This is not the move of a man who is clueless and uninformed; oh no. This is the very calculated and arrogant move of a man who operates under an anti-Capitalist, anti-American, anti-Corporate, anti-Constitutionalist aegis and who was schooled and swears allegiance to Alinsky. His associates, endorsements, friends and acquaintances bespeak volumes: Reverend Wright, Reverend Pfleger, ACORN, Blagojevich, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Saul Alinsky but to name a few. He truly believes that Cloward-Piven must be enacted in order to bring this nation into global sway.
Canada won’t wait forever. It is already our Number One supplier of crude. And its government is quite disappointed that we didn’t jump at this deal. And a deal it is.
Mexico is our Number Two supplier of crude. Of all places, Venezuela is Number Three. Imagine that.
Canada would rather deal with its southern neighbor but — make no mistake — deal it will. If not with the United States, then China is certainly waiting in the wings and will most certainly take advantage of a situation where it would “get over” on the US in three ways:
- 1. By taking the oil from our very own back yard, and
- 2. By ensuring the oil will be utilized to create a larger, more powerful and militaristic China
- 3. To be used against us.
The only bright point:
Presidential representatives must also submit within 15 days a report to Congress detailing why the permit was rejected.
Obama also said that Keystone won’t produce jobs.
Wrong.
House Republicans have called Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify as early as next week on the Obama administration’s decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline.
Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton formally sent a request to Clinton to come and testify at a hearing as early as next Wednesday, the day after President Barack Obama gives his State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress.
This is, as I am wont to say, an “abortion on toast.”
Mr Obama jeopardizes our national security and sovereignty. And wants to spend and spend.
Does this place Mr Obama into the category of a “traitor“?

P.S.
And here’s a Reality Check: gas and petroleum already flows in massive quantities, through live pipelines, alongside the various rights-of-way of numerous railroads criss-crossing the entire nation. And, on those selfsame rights-of-way, optic cable has also been laid years ago.
Part of the plan, and the plan is unfolding perfectly.
Like you BZ I’m now investing in ammo.
Cabela’s has a deal right now on 12 ga. shells…
175/ 00 buck shells with a military ammo can- $130.00.
I’m still praying I won’t need this stored ammo, but it’s looking more and more like it’ll be worth more than its weight in gold.
And the “Bitter Black Woman” says, “Let them eat non fattening cake”.
Greybeard, you write the truth.
WSF: because, after all, our Political Elite “have theirs.”
What will happen, do you think, when people really DO pay a minimum of $5 for a gallon of gas later this year?

Emperor 0boondoggle strikes out again! BZ, I feel your livid rage, my fellow moonbat slayer! Even Hilary Clinton supported the pipeline! And you and I both agreed with Hilary, of all people, for once. It’s going to be nice when Urkel leaves the White House!
And then…..there’s this!
Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set up a “Reasonable Profits Board” to control gas profits.
The Democrats, worried about higher gas prices, want to set up a board that would apply a “windfall profit tax” as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation. The bill provides no specific guidance for how the board would determine what constitutes a reasonable profit.
The Gas Price Spike Act, H.R. 3784, would apply a windfall tax on the sale of oil and gas that ranges from 50 percent to 100 percent on all surplus earnings exceeding “a reasonable profit.” It would set up a Reasonable Profits Board made up of three presidential nominees that will serve three-year terms. Unlike other bills setting up advisory boards, the Reasonable Profits Board would not be made up of any nominees from Congress. …
According to the bill, a windfall tax of 50 percent would be applied when the sale of oil or gas leads to a profit of between 100 percent and 102 percent of a reasonable profit. The windfall tax would jump to 75 percent when the profit is between 102 and 105 percent of a reasonable profit, and above that, the windfall tax would be 100 percent. The bill also specifies that the oil-and-gas companies, as the seller, would have to pay this tax.
That son of a Bitch president should be tarred and feathered and run out of Washington on a rail.
Outrage, I say outrage!!!

OBAMA TAKES a little NEW BORN innocent child. BORN. ALIVE sTabS it iN the head and SUCKs ITS BRAINS OUT.
This is just too wrong and horrible. Please stand for Loving Children and the USA.
Respectfully and Thankfully Thank you ALL for your Time.
Hopefully you aren’t afraid to post this because you and your readers are mistaken on more than a few accounts. Seeing as their are only comments from those who feel Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to the country I am leaning towards the side of you being a redneck pussy and not posting this, but who knows, I may be wrong.
First, you say the words “sublimate trolls” before the comment section. I know what you meant due to your tone of writing, but you used the word sublimate wrong, or maybe you meant to in order to sound educated. I am not sure either way. I just thought I should let you know.
Second, reXteryalizer, either you need serious counseling or you just thought it would be funny to combine many random thoughts(not rational ones by the way) in an unorganized way.
Now, on to my main points. When writing a supposed scathing review of a political behavior and you proceed to refer to a White House statement as a lie you should support that with a fact of some sort. For example,if the whitehouse stating that 60 days was not enough time and you think that is a lie, then provide objective reasoning as to why you think it is a lie. Be sure not to write something stupid like ” everyone knows he didnt need 60 days, he just didn’t want to do it” because you see those comments have no basis besides your opinion which has not been supported by fact.
so in closing, you numbnuts wrote the dumbest thoughts i’ve read in months. doesn’t surprise me though lol
Daniel Cline: apparently you have no grasp of irony; sublimate, as from SUBLIME, as from high moral, intrinsic or intellectual worth. The concept of irony seems to escape you.
Second, coming to my blog and calling me a “redneck pussy” isn’t quite what I’d quantify as higher discussion. I wouldn’t do that to you on your blog with clearly high hit numbers since 2007 and 30 profile views.
Third, please allow me to let you in on a little secret when you indicate I fail to provide evidence. You see NATIONALJOURNAL.COM highlighted in blue? That’s called a LINK. If you deign to click on that, you’ll see a reference to my point.
Finally: “didnt” requires an apostrophe between the n and the t.
Your final sentence is an english teacher’s worst nightmare:
“so in closing, you numbnuts wrote the dumbest thoughts i’ve read in months. doesn’t surprise me though lol”
Try capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. You either missed the “r” after “you” and before the word “numbnuts” or you failed to recognize the subject of “you”. The I in “i’ve” requires capitalization — the D in “doesn’t” as well.
A period after “though” would help.
I can see you’re the product of a recent public school education. Your writing makes that quite clear.
LOL.
