Hey Hoser Keep Your Oil Eh !

Don't people ever get tired of spewing their side's talking points? This is all such bullshit.

Obama didn't want to deal with Keystone right now, largely for political reasons. He wanted to wait until after the election.

Republicans in Congress gave him a bullshit deadline, so he rejected it.

All this means is it'll be dealt with on the President's timeline. That's it. Congress gave him the deadline so he would reject it and they could scream "Obama hates jobs!"

It's all politics, on both sides. I don't get why people jump up and down and think they're scoring points. It's political theater for the dumb. Just ignore it.

"An act of national insanity." Jesus Christ.

 

So politics as usual is more of that "Change" the Messiah campaigned on in 2008?

 

At least when it's dealt with after the next election, a different president will be doing the dealing.

 

Hysterical.

 

They won't build it until 2017?

 

Other people with different opinions disagree.

From NYT editorial:
"They made no mention of the risks inherent in the project: harm to the Canadian boreal forests and threats to water supplies in the Midwest."

Clearly Canada cares more about money than the environment. Obama made the right decision to protect Canada from themselves.

 

I sincerely care about that water table, because that is the one thing I want to make sure we protect. As a nutjob armageddonist, my only concerns are what will be left when it all falls apart, and right now I would rather have that water table intact without the chance of it being sullied. I can drink water, I can't (healthily) drink oil. If you can get that oil to the gulf without messing with the water table or refine it closer to where it is without messing with that supply, then let's do this thing, but you get that pipe near that water and I am not to happy about it.

 

If he really wants to protect us, he should unilaterally cancel NAFTA.

 

Of all the people to believe in this, the oil companies have the least credibility of all. Anything they say I consider an out-and-out calculated lie.

 

Make sure your 401K doesn't have any money invested in the oil companies. That'll show 'em.

 

And that changes the fact that oil companies are serial liars exactly how?

And the fact they don't have this pipeline (which the GOP governor of Nebraska, a noted socialist/left-winger/eco-terrorist, I bet, was also against) hasn'ty seemed to hurt any oil company's bottom line one little bit. They just keep selling domestic oil overseas at a huge markup, helping to keep the prices here high as well.
