Delay after delay has kept the Obama administration from giving a final go ahead for construction of the Keystone pipeline and the upwards to 42,100 jobs it would create.
Now the State Department is saying the decision will be pushed off again–this time until 2014.
This newest hurdle was put in place with a demand by environmentalists that the government investigate a supposed conflict of interest with the contractor that was hired to write a report on the pros and cons of the pipeline project. The review rated the project favorably.
The State Department’s Office of Inspector General announced on August 23 that the results of the investigation into whether or not Environmental Resources Management has ties to pipeline builder TransCanada Corp. won't be ready until January.
This late release of the results of the investigation almost assures that the government won't begin making any decisions until 2014.
The President has done everything he can to distance himself from having to make this final decision. He's demurred many times to definitively say where he stands on the project and has even diminished the number of jobs the pipeline will create, characterizing the whole project as inconsequential.
Earlier in the year, Obama said that the pipeline would only create 2,000 jobs and that the whole project was just a "blip" in the big jobs picture. This is a claim even the left-leaning PolitiFact.com called false.
Not long after that, the President absurdly downgraded his estimate even further, claiming that only 50 jobs would be created by the project.
Still, even Democrat backers of the project say they are "optimistic" that the whole thing will be approved eventually.
After a recent visit to the Canadian oil sands, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) said she believes the pipeline will eventually get the green light.

My understanding is this has been investigated more than the scandals of democrats in congress by Pelosi. The truth is Obama is trying to cripple America.
Environmental studies, i.e. code word for stall stall stall.

I think everything King Obama does is about keeping the Democrats in power and living the high life. He doesn't give a crap about the country in general, it's people or the constitution. He also has to keep a lot of his financial backers happy and "owing" him, for when this gig is over.

More leading from behind.

This is a combination of pandering to the base while at the same time not playing into the hands of the GOP who rightly would have claimed he is increasing out dependence on ME oil, but doing little to nothing to develop sources at home.
Bottom line, this is a mess of his own making, and at some point he's going to have to OWN IT.
-
Obama downplays the jobs generated by the pipeline as temporary and not what is needed, then turns around and pushes for bridge and road construction. Those are the very definition of temporary jobs. However, the pipeline would also generate permanent jobs, which he completely ignores.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
:whatever:
I didn't know what particular excuse they would use, but I was absolutely certain the Maladministration would play this game. If I was running Canada, I'd tell him "So **** you, knob, enough of this shit, eh? We're building west to Vancouver, starting tonight."

Where there will be Chinese tankers waiting to take all of that oil back to the Motherland.

I say he'll do it after the 2014 election when he no longer has to appease the environazis.

I don't think so. China would love to have access to Canada's oil and they'll get it if the Keystone pipeline isn't built.

He'll never pass it.

Nope...not even then. Once we're past the 2014 mid terms he'll delay them again until 2016 or 2017 so he never gets blamed for the crap he's done and someone else will be left to clean up the mess.

I'm with txradioguy on that one...as soon as the 2014 election is out of the way, it'll be the 2016 election dynamics that paralyze everything; the safest time for a lame duck Leftie Prez to approve something as irritating to moonbats as a pipeline is actually in the last midterm election of his Presidency, since any fallout from it will be a distant memory before his party needs all that moonbat money, fanaticism, and turnout for the next Presidential election. If he isn't doing it by the 2014 election, I think he'll decide to keep stalling until after the 2016 one as well. He and his advisers may not actually think that's what they're going to do now, but once 2014 is out of the way and they start thinking about 2016, they'll realize 2014 was actually their best window for it, and any desire to proceed will evaporate.

I agree. It won't allow the phony green energy scandal to continue. Follow the money.

Yep. But it's even more fundamental then that. Barry hates America, utterly. The following sums up what I've always known to be true about him: http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/08/what_animates_barack_hussein_obama.html
Toplansky is spot on, sums up this aspect of the Messianic One's shoe shine perfectly.

Mike, I just have to ask.
I think that for the most part your situation here is pretty much beyond being rehabilitated. What is it that brings you back?
You have a blog right? Does it have a message board? Why not tend to your own "readership" instead of come here to draw fire? I guess I sort of understand the concept of an Internet troll, you know, bad attention is better then no attention at all and all that.
Really, what do you figure you gain here?

The poser has lots of reasons for coming back.
Ego. Arrogant pride. The sheer joy of refusing to cooperate.
These are the things that despots are made of. You know, the Idi Amins, the Moammar Gaddafis, and even the Saddam Husseins.
Except that the above-cited despots actually were successful in displaying tyranny and their despotism.
The only thing that Rawlings is good at is displaying his ass crack.

Let's be clear. Obama is doing everything he can to block this proposal.
The entire agenda for energy policy by the Obama administration can be found in answering this question.
"Does this energy proposal advance or hinder the progressive movement?"
ALL traditional energy industries, such as gas, oil, nuclear, and coal, HINDER the progressive movement.
ALL newfangled energy industries, such as wind, solar, and battery, HELP the progressive movement.
In this fashion, note how the current advanced state of progressive (socialist) politics have moved beyond the point where PRIVATE unions - or unions that have no subsidization controlled by the Federal government - are being thrown under the bus, as their unions give more productive "bang for the buck."
Back a few years ago, the private unions had more sway with progressive policies than did environmentalists. But because the progressive state has advanced (re: become more socialist), it is now politically advantageous for the progressives to throw private unions under the bus. Remember the argument (pre-Supreme Court ruling for Obamacare) that pitted the environmentalists against the unions with regard to Keystone? Well, since Obamacare is currently "law of the land," Obama threw the private unions down with his grandma.
This can most easily be seen by looking at how Obamacare is affecting the health policies of private unions, who are now coming out AGAINST it.

Posin’
Posin’ got their lies all set. Real winners all, just like ol’ Shovel man
Keep posin’, just ‘bout all the time, posers just keep on creepin’ on.
All those posers now shuckin’ and jivin’ on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s always this lame bleat:
“I was SF or a SEAL or Force Recon – a hero!
Just look right here! I’m wearing all of my bling!â€
Dullard, with those SF lies; Phildo, with the fake SEAL claims;
Spooky 8 claims he was CIA; but they’re all bogus and lame we know.
Most of the posers you meet on the streets speak of war time,
Most of the time they were safe on a base or at home.
But that doesn’t stop them from claimin’ they did stuff heroic
Right in the ear every one of them needs to get boned.
Posin’, like the bunny man. Ranger, sniper, claims to beat the band
Even when he never trained a day – what a lying clown, all show
Sometimes their lies start gettin’ to me;
So damn bad I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me
On their faces I’d like to pee.
What in the world ever became of Ms. Weebles?
She lost her gut, but she still is just the same tool
Now ridin’ a bike but still lyin’ ‘bout what she really did,
All we can say is – “She’s a damn fool!â€
Disgusted, went down to the coast. Saw a fake SEAL dancin’ with no clothes!
Claims that he “caught the PTS†– though he never heard a shot fired, no.
Sittin’ and starin’ again at some more fake docs
Claimin’ Purple Hearts that happened before they went in
In his case Karma the Bitch she came a callin
Wasn’t him that got hurt his wife’s the one that got nailed
Busted, did it to his self, Lied for free stuff and it boomeranged
But damn it, it get’s to wearin’ thin. They just won’t shut their yaps, oh no.
We’re sick of all of the posin’ and we’d like to screw ya
That’s why this site exists – just to put it to ya.
It will expose your ass if you’re valor stealin’
So go get a life, quit lyin’ and you we won’t pound.
Sometimes their lies start gettin’ to me;
So damn bad I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me
Posers all in jail I’d love to see.
Another has their lies exposed. Whoa whoa baby, now his life it blows,
Back home, feels good down in my bones, another poser now exposed.
Yet another poser now exposed.
