OBAMA, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT KEYSTONE PIPELINE???

hello america!!! the 'keystone pipeline' from canada to the gulf of mexico has been under study for 3 years & it seems obama & company are just not interested in the american jobs it would create nor are they interested in 'weaning' us off of our foreign oil dependency. in fact, obama has flat-out rejected it & yet, he has said his energy policy for america is an 'all of the above' one. he also said he was going to do something about our foreign oil dependency---he did; he promised brazil our oil dollars. he's also done nothing to increase our own oil production on the lands that he actually has a say-so on...

well, the crap is about to hit the fan...because obama is taking too long to approve the american portion of the pipeline, canada has looked elsewhere &, they are close to working out a deal with china...see here...

obama has been extremely quiet on the subject however, repubs have passed several house of rep bills in their attempt (along with some house dems) to get the pipeline up & running however, the dem controlled senate keeps shooting the bills down or they just sit there & collect dust. now, china enters the fray & the dems rise up in arms. why? they had a chance to vote on the bills & did nothing positive. see here...http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/240665-schumer-to-geithner-block-chinese-oil-bid-absent-tangible-us-access

now, i must be honest with you:::i have no idea what a million barrels of oil looks like nor do i know to what extent that would actually help our own oil dependency. while i'm at it, i also don't know what would happen to the 20,000 people employed to build the pipeline upon its completion. you see, i never attended harvard or columbia however, i do know that we would need a million barrels per day less from overseas &, 20,000 temporary jobs, by far, outweighs no jobs at all.

it's been said that obama would not approve the pipeline until after the november elections so as not to lose those 'enviornmentally concerned' voters. i've said from the beginning that obama is not good for our country & his actions on the pipeline just strengthens that knowledge. so, instead of paying canada, we'll be paying china-----good job obama, good job.
