Disgusted With Obama Administration.

    You're barking up a dead tree, Boatshoes would rather have us pay half of our non-useful government employees to dig ditches and the other half to fill them up.....and for some unknown reason doesn't see why this an issue (I along with other people have brought this to his attention numerous times). The idea that we can super-inflate or monetize our debt just to keep a favored class of employees employed is ludicrous. It isn't just economic insanity, it is the ultimate of crony "capitalism". What makes a postal worker more special than the Cisco employee that got laid off last year? Insanity.

    Um....One is far more likely to vote Democrat than the other? ;)

    Obama has announced today that he will accept the Democrat party nomination at Bank of America stadium in Charlotte at the party's convention later this year.

    I wonder if there will be an outcry from his liberal base about the President accepting the nomination at a Wall Street sponsored venue when he will most certainly have the OWS crowd out agitating chaos.

    I wonder if they will trot the Greek columns back out, or if they will build a new monstrosity for the Dear Leader?

    I like though how he needs to the 75,000 seat stadiums for his coronation because the boring old 18,000 seat arenas that are traditionally used are beneath him.

    Given that socialist Greece is crumbling, I bet he -socialist activist himself - opts not to use Greek columns this time around.

    What is Venezuela known for?

    Obama is a puppet owned by Wall Street. Printing money is a windfall for the bankers at the expense of everyone else, so anyone who wants to continue running up deficits and printing money is just a puppet. That includes Barack and Mitt and Newt and Frothy and Perry.

    And it wouldn't take long for Saint Paul to follow suit. Money talks. Seriously, Ron Paul is a politician. He talks a good game and he has all of you Paulists lapping up the Kool Aid like there's no tomorrow, but in the end, he'd be just as susceptible to the same realities of governance as any other POTUS.

    So he stayed away from their money for 76 years just get his hands on it at the end of his life?
  • Cleveland Buck
    Do you even know how many millions they would have paid him to keep his mouth shut all of these years instead of blowing the lid off of their entire crony government?

    C'mon CB. Paul didn't become a U.S. Congressman by being entirely squeaky clean. Somewhere, somehow he had his hands in the unclean cookie jar. It's the nature of the beast. In the end, Pontiff Paul will be found wanting in the fallibility department. And certainly no person to become POTUS ever got there without a little wink wink money.

    Again, don't get me wrong. Would I be a happy man if Ron Paul - by some political miracle - became POTUS? Sure. But it just isn't gonna happen.

    Many people insist there is no difference between repubs and dems, but this is just one of many examples of the stark differences between the radicals in the obama administration and the sensible repubs in congress:

    [h=3]White House Press Secretary: Expedited Review Leaves Obama "Little Choice" But To Reject Keystone.[/h]In the "E2 Wire" blog in The Hill (1/18) Andrew Restuccia and Ben Geman write, "White House press secretary Jay Carney stressed Tuesday that the Obama Administration will have little choice but to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline under an expedited schedule included in the payroll tax cut package," because the State Department is currently "reviewing an alternate pipeline route" to skirt a part of Nebraska deemed "environmentally sensitive." Carney said "it is a fallacy to suggest that the president should sign into law something when there isn't even an alternate route identified in Nebraska and when ... there was an attempt to short-circuit the review process in a way that does not allow the kind of careful consideration of all the competing criteria here that needs to be done."
    House Republicans Discussing Options If Obama Rejects Keystone Pipeline. In the "E2 Wire" blog in The Hill (1/18) Ben Geman writes, "Top House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans, bracing for White House rejection of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, mulled plans to force approval of the controversial project at a meeting Tuesday." Representative Ed Whitfield (R-KY), head of the Energy and Power Subcommittee, said options would "include Representative Lee Terry's (R-NE) bill that would place the permit decision in the hands of independent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), taking it away from the State Department." Meanwhile, both Terry and Whitfield said Senator John Hoeven's (R-ND) bill "that would put the final decision on Keystone in the hands of Congress" was another consideration.
    In the "Floor Action" blog in The Hill (1/18) Pete Kasperowicz writes, "House Republicans returned to work Tuesday evening with a sharp message for President Obama that there is no reason for delaying the Keystone XL pipeline, with one member arguing that the Obama Administration's reasons for delay so far are 'bull.'" On Tuesday night Terry said "this is all politics," adding "stop playing politics, Mr. President, and put us on a road that we can be energy independent."
    Canadian Prime Minister: Iranian Threats Make Keystone More Necessary. In the "E2 Wire" blog in The Hill (1/18) Ben Geman writes, "Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, joining Capitol Hill Republicans and business groups, said Iran's threat to block a major oil shipping lane builds the case for US approval of the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline." According to Harper, "when you look at the Iranians threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz, I think that just illustrates how critical it is that supply for the United States be North American." Harper and other Canadian government officials have urged Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline "to bring oil sands crude from Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries."



    Why on earth would we not want more good domestic jobs, greater energy independence, less reliance on the middle east, and better relations with a friendly Canada. Can't the Marxists parading as radical environmentalists be silenced for once?

    Looks like Tax-Cheat Timmy learned well from John Corzine, MF Global, and a little from Bernie Madoff - http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/17/us-usa-debt-treasury-idUSTRE80G20R20120117

    Nothing like raiding federal pensions in order to subsidize pork barrel spending, stimulus, funding the Solyndras of the country, subsidizing the Chevy Volt at $250,000/car, and $10 million/night vacations to the islands. I remember reading on the SB5 thread that it isn't the government's money anymore since it is in private retirement accounts for their employees. Yeah...right. And you Ronulans want this guy to lead us for 4 more years.

    Oh wait...someone will post on here that they'll pay it back as soon as they get the money. Just like Bernie told his flock.

    I agree. Delaying this makes us less safe as a country and deepens our unwelcome involvement in the Middle East. The pipeline, with today's standards and specs with building materials, could be virtually rupture free. We have enough oil to last at a bare minimum of 40 years. By that time, Thomas Edison's great, great, great, great, great, great grandson will figure out a way to use solar energy at a cheaper cost.

    Sorry but I done the math and so have other I will provide a link
    At present US usage we have oil for 110 years plus .. if we as America can invent somethng better in 110 year we are just not American Note: presently I know because I'm developing a product for this but diesel fuel have produced a car UK that can go 70 mile per gallon or better at 70 miles per hour


    Sorry I was wrong it 200 years

  • Cleveland Buck
    The government has no right to seize private property to benefit any private company, let alone a foreign private company. If they can't run the pipeline through lands they have permission to use, then it should be shut down. That isn't why Barack did it, but the result is fine.
  • QuakerOats
    Affordable, accessible energy is inherently important for our economic interests and national security. The pipeline is for the benefit of the American people. This president, and the radicals in his administration don't give a sh!t about America, and thus you have what we have.

    What a GD disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • IggyPride00
    The pipeline is for the benefit of the American people.
    Actually, if I am not mistaken it was supposed to make it easier for energy companies to export the stuff from the Gulf region, not to make energy cheaper for Americans.

    We are a net exporter of energy now even though prices are high because there are other countries willing to pay more for it.

    There is no such thing as "American" energy, unless we want BHO opening drilling and refining companies.

    As we speak in fact there is aggressive lobbying going on by the energy industry to increase the amount of energy they can export even if it means we will be paying even higher prices at home because the feeling is that they should be able to ship as much as they want to the Chicoms if they are willing to pay more for it than we are.

    I would have let the pipeline happen, but it has nothing to do with American energy security, since one of the main goals is to export alot of the stuff that comes out of the tar sands.
  • QuakerOats
    Actually we are only a net exporter of a few gas products, and that occurred for the first time last year. We are indeed an importer of oil, the majority of which comes from Canada and Mexico, and 10% from the middle east. This pipeline was a golden opportunity to increase our oil from friendly Canada, but instead they can now ship it to China (and export some increased worldwide pollution). It is a massive fail on the part of obama, all for the sake of political expediency. And his continued resistance to all things related to our energy independence and economic freedom is readily apparent. He is a complete loser.
  • HitsRus
    From the article:
    Obama said TransCanada's [TRP 41.23 -0.18 (-0.43%) ] application for the 1,700-mile pipeline was denied because the State Department did not have enough time to complete the review process.
    This is a complete lie and the administration should be exposed for it. The permit has been under review at the State Dept. for nearly 3 years, and by it's own file and report dated August 26, 2011,....

    http://www.keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov/clientsite/keystonexl.nsf/Fact%20Sheet.pdf?OpenFileResource
    stated that the final determination would be done by the end of the year. The Obama administration wanted the determination pushed back until after the election....almost a full year from the Dept. of State stated goal of the end of 2011. Senate Republicans gave the administaration an extra 2 months on this needed project. This project would have created several thousand AMERICAN jobs and represented a $7 billion investment by a Canadian company.

    Reps to Quaker for posting on Keystone and pointing out "the difference" between Republicans and damnocrats.
