The Cheese Stands Alone… Only 18% of Americans Agree With Obama’s Irresponsible Keystone Position

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. And the pipeline would bring oil from Canada and North Dakota to refineries in the United States.

But it was just a big pipe dream. Obama rejected the plan.

(Bob McCarty)

So this should come as no surprise…
Once again, Barack Obama stands alone, outside the gates of common sense.
Only 18% of Americans agree with Obama that the US should not approve the Keystone Pipeline.
The Washington Post reported, via Energy Tomorrow:

How does he do it? In issue after issue Barack Obama is able to consistently isolate himself from the majority of Americans. The man has that special touch.

The most important thing is that disconnect “disconnects” him from the White House in November. Otherwise we are “disconnected” from what used to be America. Marxism wins!

Can’t let that happen…

He stands opposed to the views of the majority of Americans but too many Americans don’t grasp that.

Energy policy will be a President Obama’s key vulnerability in November. His goal has always been to encourage alternative fuels by raising conventional energy prices. Alternative energy may poll well, but the average voter who fills his tank with $4+ gas on the way to the ballot box will certainly “Hope for Change”.

Thefunniest/saddest part is that the dear leader and company like to claim that “the American people want to move on” and that the debate is settled”. Yep. Build the damn thing and stop whining.

Recession Imminent? U.S. Manufacturing Plunges

This coming Friday, jobs numbers for the month of June will be released and early signs do not look promising. On Thursday, we learned that the GDP had plunged from 3.0% in the previous quarter to 1.9%. Initial unemployment claims have also creeped back towards the dreaded 400,000 mark. 386,000 last week, 392,000 the week prior.

But there is even worse news for the economy…

The upholding of ObamaCare by our Supreme Court means that America’s second-to-the-last chance to kill this extraordinary drag on our economy off resulted in a big miss last week. Our last chance is this November. Job creators understand this and up till now have already felt uncertain about adding on new employees. Now they’re absolutely certain that new hires are a bad idea given the burdensome regulations, costs, taxes, and fines headed their way regardless — but even more so which each new hire.

New hires can not only put job creators in a new circle of beauracratic pain, but God only knows what nasty surprises await in the 2600 page monstrosity.

re: another “pipeline”

THE WAR AGAINST THE SAUDIS

[TWO CAN PLAY

A very interesting comment, that last: what are these “competing projects”? This is none other than the Transcaucasian “Silk Road” pipeline project, slated to extend from the Caspian Sea oilfields to Turkey, and perhaps down through Afghanistan to the Indian Ocean. This project has long been on the drawing boards, and the Clinton administration took it up with alacrity, even going so far as to set up a special department to facilitate its creation. If the foreign oil companies were going to try to go around them, said the Prince in so many words, then two could play that game:

Q: “Your Royal Highness what about Saudi Aramco? Will it assume
a new role following the formation of the council and the invitation
of the international oil companies?”

A: “We are proud of Aramco’s achievements through the years and our
dealings with foreign companies will never be at the expense of Aramco.
I believe the presence of these companies will strengthen Aramco and
sharpen its competitive edge. Aramco, has, I believe, the administrative
and technical expertise and know-how that enable it to compete
effectively with these companies.”

bman,

It’s only the media and their pollster tools who tell us Ovomit is sensationally popular. The same idiots keep repeating Obozo has charisma, a great intellect, public speaking abilities, ad nauseam thinking the public is as dumb as the media idiots are.
The media peddled the same propaganda about Carter and the polls through election day said Carter would win. The media has been relentlessly campaigning for democrats since Thomas Jeffersonbefore 1800.

Remember Obama is a jerk who threw away 5.2 Trillion to no effect; wouldn’t even allow people to put out deterrents in the water to stave off oil from reaching the shore after the big spill in the Gulf; terminated the U.S. Space Program; sent U.S. troops into Libya without Congressional approval; helped arm the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya; gave almost a billion, probably more to the Palestinians/A.K.A. Hamas; didn’t do a thing when the Iranian people rose up against their Islamic regime; is dismantling the U.S. nuclear program and nukes; gave Russia military secrets; abandoned Poland; is allowing Russian troops on American soil; Russia/U.S. joint military exercises on land and sea; allowing illegals the right to stay in America, despite Congress saying they can’t……….on and on and on and on.

The problem isn’t Obama – anyone with eyes and half a brain knows exactly what he is doing – you can’t miss it. The problem is with the complacency of the American people as a whole and the stupidity of the other half. There will be no excuse once the next election comes around. If Obama manages to hold onto power one way or another, the American people best be ready to kiss the America as they knew it good-bye or do something about it.

What fools and nitwits you folks are. It does not matter where that oil shale goes to. Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, wherever. All of is will be on the World Spot Market for oil. 85% to 90% of what is processed into gas, kerosene, whatever will be sold and shipped to other parts of the world. You know who is LARGEST exporter of refined gasoline is? The good old USA.

Hey, Joanne, how much did the illegal invasion of Iraq cost? Other than more than 4,000 lives of American men and women? Trillions. And we have never gotten a drop of Iraqi oil. Gee thanks, Duh bya (our retarded president).

People, get some information on your own rather than listening to this moron.
