Breaking: Obama Said He Supported Higher Gas Prices – Now He KILLS KEYSTONE

Barack Obama: Killing Jobs – Playing Golf
With gas prices at record highs – The Obama State Department today announced that they WILL NOT approve the Keystone Pipeline from Canada.

The Keystone Pipeline project was expected to create tens of thousands of high paying jobs in the oil industry. The project itself would create 20,000 construction jobs.

But it was just a big pipe dream.

Barack Obama refused to approve the project in 2011 despite the fact that gas prices hit a record high last year under his failed leadership.

The New York Post reported:

The US State Department is expected to announce that it will not approve the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project, FOX News Channel reported, citing an industry source.

Sources told Politico the announcement will be made Wednesday afternoon by the State Department, which has the final say in the pipeline’s approval because it crosses international borders.

The pipeline, which would run from Canada to Texas, was a major sticking point in the debate in Congress last month over the extension of the payroll tax holiday. The ultimate agreement on the extension included a provision forcing the Obama administration to make a quicker decision on whether to approve the pipeline.

The administration had until Feb. 21 to make its decision.

This decision comes one day after the Saudi regime announced they would keep oil prices above $100 per barrel.

But, remember… This was all part of Obama’s plan.
He told us that he supported high gas prices if they are gradually hiked.
