Let’s go over the facts again. The XL was studied for more than three years and found to be environmentally sound, with some question about routing it around a Nebraska aquifer. President Obama, answering to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and other Hollywood liberals and the Luddite green meanies, tried kicking the approval out past the 2012 election to keep from having to decide between the unions, which support the pipeline because of the jobs it would create, and the Luddite left, which doesn’t support it because they don’t want us using any fuel of which they disapprove, anytime, anywhere. That decision to delay the decision effectively killed the pipeline right there. But the Republicans tried to force Obama’s hand by packing a 60-day deadline into another bill. And then Obama’s State Department scuttled the pipeline outright, and Canada promptly made a deal with China. To all that history, which is recent and can be Googled, Carney thumbs his nose and claims a set of facts which, in fact, don’t exist. That’s what they call a “lie,” and not even a particularly good one.Gas prices jumped again in our locale, yesterday. Can the President immediately make gas prices decline? Probably not. But, having an administration that is hostile to the petroleum industry certainly doesn't help. Lying about it doesn't help either. Our President could either have approved the pipeline, or not. He chose not. Lots of jobs lost, lots of Canadian oil heading to China. It's his fault, plain and simple.
The sooner we get this pretender out of office, the better off we'll all be.
