Keystone XL Pipeline Delay a Political Move That Hurts Jobs

[Locutus]

Economy, Energy Supply

While most out-of-work people simply want the opportunity for a job, Washington seems to have turned a deaf ear to those pleas.


The Obama administration’s recent decision to indefinitely delay approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline reeks of politics, a lack of common sense, and misses a tremendous opportunity to provide thousands of jobs and help boost a sagging economy.

I was encouraged by the Florida Legislature’s resolution that encourages those in power in Washington to approve construction of the pipeline. Also encouraging is the bipartisan support this project seems to have, despite the president’s political games that delay a sorely needed project. At least some in Florida recognize that a more stable energy supply not only boosts the nation’s economy, but provides national security benefits.

Poll: More Keystone delays may hurt Senate Dems

If President Obama delays a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline again, a number of voters in five states would be less likely to vote for Senate Democrats, according to a new poll.


The poll conducted for Consumer Energy Alliance, an energy consumer advocate and known backer of the controversial oil-sands pipeline, surveyed voters in Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana and New Hampshire on how much Keystone XL would sway their vote.
Over half of the voters in all five states said that politics played a role in the Obama administration’s latest delay in the Keystone XL permitting process.


And if the administration were to delay the decision again, the poll states, voters may be less likely to vote for a Democrat.

Farrah was pinned right next to the poster of the Ferrari GTs 308.

It is a politial move alright. As with Canadian Dippers the Dems have factions. Also like Canada the traditional workers parties have been taken over by the extreeme left that has no interest in workers earning a good living. The workers really have much more in common with business that recognize a well paid workforce is also a good market for their products.
