URGENT…BREAKING NEWS!!!

The word is, Obama’s energy department, spurred on by the EPA, will say NO to the Keystone Pipeline!

In a move that will anger unions and be met gleefully by environmentalists, Obama will NOT allow the Canadian oil pipeline travel through the United States.

This is a job KILLER of a move.

To try and get back in the good graces of the unions, look for Obama, in the coming months before the election, to strengthen other union positions.

The Keystone pipeline would have provided roughly 20,000jobs right off the bat and quite possibly more down the road. One of the, if not THE hang up, was environmentalist concerns where the pipeline would have crossed Nebraska. While officials IN Nebraska were more than willing to reroute, it seems they will not be allowed the opportunity to satisfy those with concerns.

In fact, Nebraska lawmakers, back in November 2011, voted to reroute the pipeline away from areas considered sensitive. Nebraska Governor, Dave Heineman signed that measure AND another bill which would have funded new environmental studies for the newly proposed route.

NOW, the Obama administration is claiming there just isn’t time to complete a new study and therefore, the pipeline will NOT be built.

One must look for bright spots where one can find them and while difficult in this case, there might be ONE.

As gas prices continue to rise, with crude selling over $100.00 per barrel again, and proposed EPA regulations adding more to the pump cost as we head toward spring and summer, people WILL take this into account during the 2012 election and THAT does not bode well for Obama.

ADD to the existing gas price issues, the problems with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and the near future isn’t rosie. OPEC can and probably WILL add to their production if the Iran issue flares up but, no doubt, they will do it at a price.

Meanwhile, in OUR OWN yard, no plans are on the table for drilling, fracking is being blocked at every turn and now, a pipeling through the U.S. from Canada is being squashed.

Canada will not allow themselves to lose out on this deal and who can blame them.

China has already expressed interest in the Canadian oil and Canada has said, should the U.S. NOT be interested, they would sell to China.

Once again, the special interests and environmental yahoos, have cut our national interest throats.

While it will most likely be too late to save the Keystone Pipeline, this reported move by the Obama administration, to BLOCK that pipeline, should be an even greater incentive to get out and vote republican in November.

With a majority in both the House AND the Senate, and a republican in the White House, drilling and tapping our OWN sources of energy shouldn’t be far behind.

Energy independence IS a national security issue and one that MUST be addressed.

Obama and his administration are hell bent on being someone ELSE’S best oil customer and that dog just don’t hunt.

Rather than pouring money into energy sources which are PROVEN and AVAILABLE, Obama has instead been FLUSHING taxpayer money down the green toilet.

Solyndra? The Chevy Volt? Now Beacon?

One by one, Obama’s plans for alternative energy is proving to be a debacle. Solyndra FOLDED and took %535 MILLION taxpayer dollars with them. The Volt has sold only 7000 units ALL of which are now under recall because they CATCH FIRE and Beacon, another solar company, after getting around $40 million taxpayer dollars has filed for bankruptcy.

At least with an influx of Canadian oil, China will be able to pump out more of those mercury filled CFL bulbs that environmentalists are INSISTING we buy.

SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THIS NOVEMBER THAT WE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW SPECIAL INTERESTS TO OVERRIDE OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS AND LAY WASTE TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY. MAKE NOVEMBER 6^TH OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!
