Obama clearly wants to dictate internal Canadian energy policy. That is a thumb in the eye of all Canadians. I wonder what the Canadian leftists think about the American president trying to override Canadian sovereignty?

Question to mods/admin = why aren't all these Obama hating threads merged into one????

WOrks for me. I would rather build Northern Gateway anyway. Yankees can pay through the nose for unstable supply from the muddle east while we can sell to the highest bidder for our oil. Prosperity for all.

"you look upset"

Guess again. Your heroes in Breitbart wrote about the economy "crashing". Nowhere in the NY Times is it indicated that this is happening or if Obama is causing this myth to happen.

Try again.

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.

What a bunch of divide and conquer BS. Obama is just a mouth piece for the ruling elite. His opinions are fed to him by his puppet masters, just like every president before him. These statement are designed to pit various groups against each other, have them at each others throats. In the end, the ruling elite will do whatever the hell they please and your opinion is worth squat. Meanwhile important issues that adversely afect your life are slid under the table without a peep from those who too busy getting themselves all in a lather over crap they really have no influence in.

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. . .

Ouch.

Republicans must be extra salty now, especially after declining Obamer's offer to cut corporate taxes.

Do you think Enbridge will bend to Obama's pipeline piracy of wanting more than 1 in 10 bbls to be Bakken oil? If Enbridge doesn't US companies will have to build their own and how will that look for Ohbummer?

Frankly, petros.........I don't think he gives a damn. He's a lame duck Pres now........still tryin' to push his hope and change agenda. His speech that centered on climate change was yet another attempt to push it. I can't see the Republicans sitting idly by as they lose the chance to get the line...............but I could be wrong.

It's all about egg on the face at this point. It has never and never will be about environment. That card was played out ages ago and now Obama is forced to back peddle. it's all about who gets dibs on the content capacity of the line. No matter what, an American line will have to go in sooner or later.

Highest corporate profits in USA since the year 1900 just in case you forgot.

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.
