Pipeline

What are your thoughts on President Obama's decision to not sign the current proposal for the Canada-Texas oil pipeline?

Post a comment

Hmmmm, where does one start by commenting on the current administrations attitude toward fossil fuels?

The policies from the Obama Administration continue to adversely affect the welfare of American workers. From the West Virginia Coal Miners to the Roughnecks drilling for oil - no one is exempt from the "green axe".

Someone will benefit from the oil in Canada, but unfortunately Obama will not allow the U.S. to partake in the effort.

The benefits of such an effort would be...

- Lessen our dependence on Iran and other Middle East countries that hate us.

- Provide employment for thousands of Americans.

- Provide an additional 100+ years of oil.

I hope each of you remember this in November!

My bad, should read:

Way to go Obama, you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on jobs for American workers desperately seeking employment.

He did a very good job tonight in his SOTU address about the pipeline he will not let be built and the 20,000 well paying jobs that will not be filled, by never uttering a single word about it.

So looks now that Canada will be building the pipeline to the West Coast and sign long term contracts to supply the oil to China.

Way to go Obama, you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on jobs for American workers

desperately seeking employment.
