That damn Keystone pipeline and our Great Obstructionist President!

The Keystone pipeline that has now been reviewed to death by every major department and which has been given the green light by all is still ‘on hold’. Why? President Obama perhaps better known as Mr. Obstructionist wants to ‘think about it’ for another year or so.

This pipeline which now has bipartisan support and which has met all of the Presidents objections languishes and languishes and… Even hard line environmentalists, when inform by the EPA that its construction will actually save green house gases are questioning the President’s actions (or in-actions). On hold, too, are the estimated ten thousand jobs (many of them union jobs) that could help put a dent in the US unemployment figures. So what’s going on here?

Obama is dragging his feet on this project for one simple reason. He feels strongly that fossil fuels are inherently evil and that we should find a way to power our economy with…windmills. What! And, oh yes, we could also use solar power to possibly take up whatever slack is generated.

God, I hope that once this great Republic collapses (and it will), that everyone will remember who was responsible. In the meantime, can we please get that project started?
