Thread: Did President Obama kill thousands of jobs?

Seems like this one was a no brainer, but one has to remember the current occupier of the Oval Office like his occupier bretheren has no brain.

Over the last several months, radical environmentalists along with Hollywood celebrity activists descended on the White House in protest, urging President Barack Obama to block the construction of the $7 billion pipeline that would bring in more than 700,000 barrels of oil per day from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf coast. Last week, they got their wish.

The Obama Administration on Thursday announced that it would delay a decision on the pipeline until after the 2012 election. In siding with his leftist environmentalist, big Hollywood base, President Obama’s ambition is nakedly apparent, as is his total disregard for the 14 million unemployed Americans sitting on the sidelines, waiting for Washington to get out of the way so they can get back to work. And it also shows that for him, politics is more important than achieving true energy independence for the United States.

Excellent OP.

However, wasn't the decision to stop the pipeline due to the outcry in Nebraska? Wheres some folks did not want it sitting right on top of the aquifer they used to irrigate?

Not sure how you can blame the president for that.

They had alternative routes to avoid sensitive areas as stated in the article you cited. It is an oil pipeline, I don't know why people seem to think it is gonna leak oil all over the place. Silly reason to stop this job creating venture. Now the Canadians will just sell the oil to the Chinese, and the pipeline will probably never get built.

So Obama killed the only job in America?

You make it sound like there is no other work to be done other than this pipeline.

We don't need the pipeline. But we do need to rebuild our bridges, dams and other infrastructure. Why aren't doing that?

Is it because the only worthwhile jobs are those that put money in the connected pockets?
