Once again Mr. President?!?

The Keystone Pipeline was, once again, turned down. Citing environmental concerns, the Obama administration stopped construction that would have created (at minimum) 6500 jobs.

During the BP oil spill, the Obama administration wanted to halt all off-shore drilling and work on all off-shore drilling rigs.

Isn't this further proof, the Obama administration doesn't want to create jobs and help out of work americans?

    Obama says one thing then turn the screw (KNIFE) in to the USA's future. Has he or the environmentalist shown documents showing pipelines have caused significant damage in Alaska?

    Is there some reason we cant just add on to the existing one? or build the new one next to it then extend it to the gulf?

    "If you guys are going to make stuff up, you probably should consider synching up the stories so it sounds somewhat believable."

    Yea we suggested that back when all the saved or created jobs numbers started coming out. Dont think you have much room to criticize here.

    If we count it like the current administration it would be around a million, since you would need to consider the actual jobs then things like gas station workers needed to service 6000 workers, convenience stores to service them, the clothing store that they purchased work clothes from, the places they spend their paychecks at, the new jobs from issuing the checks, the paper makers that supply the paper that the checks are printed on, the mfg for the MICR ink, the ppl that make soap so that the workers can wash their hands after work, the well manufacturer that make the parts that put in the well so that workers could wash their hands, paper towel mfg additional jobs, etc that the 6000 new ppl going to work are going to employ.

    No, it's not. It is proof that the GOP wants to make this an election issue and tried to force Obama's hand before the environmental impact studies were complete.

    And, when Keystone first became a campaign issue it was 100,000 jobs. Then it was 20,000. Now it's 6500? If you guys are going to make stuff up, you probably should consider synching up the stories so it sounds somewhat believable.

    definite you're real, and he also uncovered them for basically what they're; human beings offered and paid for by potential of the rich who do not care in any respect about the best of the yankee human beings. Obama is a extremely smart guy.

    Treason? Yes.

    Impeachment? Yes.

    Actually it means they took the environment into account before a few jobs.

    It means he wisely refused long-term damage and risks to the many over meager short-term gains for the few..
