We must be in the twilight zone.After Obama and his State Department said no go on the Keystone Pipeline,he is now apparently going to tell the oil and gas companies to ramp up oil and gas production.WHAT!! Is that a misprint?Did the Whitehouse leak something that isn't true?Last week the President said he wouldn't approve of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline,all the while blaming it on the Congressional Republicans.This is nothing but a political move, a bone for the environmental extremists. He has gone on TV many times and told the Congressional Republicans not to play politics with whatever policy he is pushing at the time.Then,lo and behold,he clearly is making a political decision not to go ahead with the pipeline.
Obama told us that the deadline that Congress set in February of this year,was not enough time to study the effect of the pipeline on the environment.This,this after the State Department has completed two environmental studies that has taken three years.They also were ready to sign off on the building of the pipeline.But the politics came into play, as usual with this administration.They even stated that it would take at least another year to come to a decision.Well,well,well, what happens this November?That's correct, a presidential election.Shut your mouth! Politics had nothing to do with his decision,so says Jay Carney.Obama's press secretary.This pipeline would create thousands of good paying jobs,not to mention what it would do for the economies for the many cities and states.This project is over 1600 miles long.We would also be getting more than 800,000 barrels of oil a day form our North American partner. That is 33,600,000 gallons of oil per day.Just by announcing the building of the pipeline would lower oil prices and in return fuel prices.We are now a net importer of fuel.A lot of people who don't care one way or another,will change their minds when the price of gasoline goes to $4 or $5 dollars a gallon this summer.Build the pipeline now,Mr.President.As you have often told us,WE CAN'T WAIT!!!
