As Steven Goddard notes, “he spent 6 years telling us it was about global warming”.
Obama: “I’m happy to look at how we can increase pipeline production for U.S. oil, but Keystone is for Canadian oil." http://t.co/UltOITVdXk

“Part of the reason North Dakota has done so well is that we have been very much promoting domestic, U.S. energies,†the president said in response to Kealy asking why he vetoed the Keystone bill. “I’ve already said I’m happy to look at how we can increase pipeline production for U.S. oil, but Keystone is for Canadian oil to send that down to the Gulf.
“It bypasses the United States and is estimated to create a little over 250, maybe 300 permanent jobs,†Obama continued. “We should be focusing more broadly on American infrastructure for American jobs and American producers, and that’s something that we very much support.â€
North Dakota is doing well despite Obama’s policies. As for the permanent jobs, Obama’s entire infrastructure part of the Stimulus created a number approaching zero of permanent jobs, as they were all temporary. In case he also missed it, those jobs would be in the U.S., and the money from the pipeline would spread through the economy. Of course, what would we expect from a community organizer with virtually no experience in the private sector?
He apparently forgets all the products that are imported from other nations to the U.S.
BTW, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with importing Mexicans.
