Obama: Tens Of Thousands Of High Paying Jobs For Americans And A Secure Source Of Energy? No Thanks, We're Good

He's going to officially reject the Keystone XL Pipeline this afternoon.

I'm sure that when Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper visits China next month, the Chinese will say no thank you as well.

"I'm very serious about selling our oil off this continent, selling our energy products to Asia," he [Harper] told CTV television in an interview last month.

The easiest way to boost oil exports to China would be through Enbridge Inc's (ENB.TO) proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry tar sands-derived oil from Alberta to the Pacific Coast. There it would be loaded on to tankers and shipped to Pacific Rim markets.

Obama is simply siding with his environmentalist base (you know those Hollywood types that write all those checks to his campaign) over unions and workers and the national security of the United States. Priorities.

People wonder if Obama is doing damage to America out of incompetence or hate. It doesn't really matter, he's simply doing a tremendous amount of damage and has to go.
