Remember all those jobs you promised? Have you forgotten already? Please Sir,approve this Pipeline right now. Americans are waiting to get back to work. Do it for your country. Whata ya say?
Not 3 years ago, Obama approved the Alberta Clipper pipeline.
From the U.S. Department of State website:
After considerable review and evaluation, on August 20, 2009, the Department issued a Presidential Permit to Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership for the Alberta Clipper pipeline. In evaluating the Enbridge application, the Department worked in consultation with all relevant agencies and parties and with extensive public and stakeholder participation and outreach.
The Department found that the addition of crude oil pipeline capacity between Canada and the United States will advance a number of strategic interests of the United States. These included increasing the diversity of available supplies among the United States worldwide crude oil sources in a time of considerable political tension in other major oil producing countries and regions; shortening the transportation pathway for crude oil supplies; and increasing crude oil supplies from a major non-Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries producer. Canada is a stable and reliable ally and trading partner of the United States, with which we have free trade agreements which augment the security of this energy supply.
Approval of the permit sends a positive economic signal, in a difficult economic period, about the future reliability and availability of a portion of United States energy imports, and in the immediate term, this shovel-ready project will provide construction jobs for workers in the United States.

So, exactly what happened since 2009? Why was this approved but the XL project is on the ropes?

Clearly, Obama is trying to enlarge the dependant class in America. Listen to Paulitician here.....he is surely correct in thinking that Obama is using this issue as a way to deprive the GOP of the ability to lay claim to job growth. It is so transparent! there is no way that the GOP wants to saddle the Democratic party with blame for killing the payroll tax cut by attching this pipeline to it. That would NEVER happen.
For sure! The GOP is clearly the party for jobs! They have done nothing but promote jobs programs and make attempt after attempt to boost the economy........to stimulate it......only to be shot down by the liberals in DC and the leftwing media! refusing to go along with this pipeline will be proof positive that the Democrats are anti-job......anti-American and pro Muslim extremist!
Oh my gosh! Why in the world would Obama block this pipeline and the jobs? It makes no sense! he's a fucking job killer! Surely.....every one of those 20,00o people and the union thugs who support them will become ardent Obama supporters after they are forced to take government handouts and become dependent on the liberals to keep the handouts coming! It is all a great conspiracy!

Because there is strong evidence that the pipeline will kill more jobs than it will create. The Canadian portion of the pipeline has already proven to be a needless endeavor and has invaded the cost of doing business for oil refineries. That's going to be offset by higher pump prices which will in turn increase the cost of doing business for other businesses. Which will likely lead to layoffs. Currently there is no need for increased pipeline demand. Analysts predict that if the line is extended into the US, pipelines between Canada and here will operate at 50% capacity. Low capacity causes tolls per barrel to rise in order to cover construction and maintenance costs for the entire infrastructure.
Remember all those jobs you promised? Have you forgotten already? Please Sir,approve the Keystone XL Pipeline right now. Americans are waiting to get back to work. Do it for your country. This is just a humble plea from a humble citizen and voter. So wadda ya say?
