Obama: Keystone XL Won't Create Jobs, Will Raise Gas Prices

[gopher]

And still no banking regulations......tsk, tsk.

Banking laws are written by Congress just in case you didn't know.

Keep drinking that Kool Aid Gopher, corporate profits won't help the people out of work all over the United States.

Sad thing is, you sound like a hard line Republican.

Left? Right? The zealots on both sides don't give a tinkers damn as long as their Rock Star is in power.

If your heroes in the Republican party, Tea Baggers, and other right wingers would only change the tax laws to end all overseas tax shelters as I have repeatedly suggested there would be some change. But to blame Obama for Congress's failure to change the law is absurd and is nothing more than a broken record.

Apparently he can repeat the phrase "Hope and Change", over and over and over again

I don't have any heroes in the Republican Party, but thanks for making my point with a great big exclamation.

Have a freedom fry with some of that Kool Aid.

First of all I am happy he is not happy I wanted that stopped from the start.
Canadian oil will be shipped south to be refined or stored in another country
and we don't benefit from the job market ourselves.
And the oil going south is not for American domestic use it will be primarily for
export. If it is exported and we are short of fuel the price goes up.
In addition if we supply the increasing demand for oil in Asia the price will really
go up.

Works even better if we build our own XL pipeline to Montreal, replacing all that Chavez JR.crude tankering into Eastern Canada.
Who's giving you the redmark??

When Bush snapped his fingers everyone in Congress obeyed him and funded his destructive agenda. If they obeyed Obama his more intelligent agenda would make things would be a lot better in the USA today.

Sorry - no can do. I ain't no Repukeblican nor a wannabe

Wait, what? How is not allowing a Candian company to build a pipeline in the United States an issue of Canadian sovereignty?

THIS should be good. . .

“There is no evidence that that’s true.” He then blamed Canada for not “doing more” to prevent carbon emissions from oil sands. Obama continued, “I meant what I said; I’m going to evaluate this based on whether or not this is going to significantly contribute to carbon in our atmosphere. And there is no doubt that Canada at the source in those tar sands could potentially be doing more to mitigate carbon release.”

So, making a statement about Canada is "interfering with Canadian sovereignty?" If that's the standard, Canadians on this board interfere with U.S. sovereignty a couple hundred times a day.

Yup Obama's track record on Green initiatives is not that great, so why does anyone listen to this clown.

In the long run, he did us a big favor. Keystone XL was a badly flawed concept.

I agree. Allowing the private sector to create jobs is bad because fewer people will be reliant on the gubmint for their livelihood.

Too bad the private sector can't create jobs without relying on the gubmint for tax breaks.

Ayn Rand am cry.

Tenskwatawa,

Barack Obama doesn't work at Burger King or post at Canadian Content. Rather, he's the most powerful person in the world with the ability to directly impact Canadian economic well being. Check this out:

“And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution,” the president said.

Someone in the CPC best be getting some scientific studies underway to prove the cause is just.

Oh yea, I forgot.. Harper labelled scientists as one of his enemies.

Pipelines aren't going to stop the necessity of industry's need to be greased which can't be done with hemp oil and rainbows.

A better response would have been to show how pipelines are safer than trucks/trains or whatever.. it would still be a red herring, but a marginally better red herring than 'hey look - hippies!'

 

[petros]

It's too obvious.

Yea, you prefer the subtler approach for sure, lol

As subtle as a train wreck.

Prez O. is telling us, really nicely, that they don't need more heavy crude at Henry hub.

and shipping Heavy crude to Gulf tidewater to compete with Heavy Orinoco crude coming in by SUPERTANKER is, well, dumb.
