Tactical error
Obama doesn't make political mistakes often, but he's pulled a real self-sabotaging boner this time. Tripped over his own feet.
Nonsense. They didn't force the decision, your brand-D base forced the decision.
Before this, Obama could accurately point to the hugely increased oil and gas drilling in America, and the fact that we import less than half of our oil for the first time in 40 years. He could accurately call himself the Drill Baby Drill President, thus trumping the empty rhetoric by sissy-ass bitch-ass fairy-ass Repooflicans who never actually increased drilling.
Now he's blown his chance to make that point. Now he's no better than Bush.
Worse, he's just sent the new Canadian oil directly to China. Canada would have preferred to sell it to us, but if we're too fucking stupid to use it, Canada will happily pipe it westward to China and Japan. So the lunatic excuse about "Carbon Emissions" doesn't work; the oil will still be produced, and the actual consequences of the production will be exactly the same.
The only difference is that China will refine and burn the oil in ways that produce vastly more REAL POLLUTION, while America would refine and burn in relatively clean ways. However, this is all okay by the mass-murdering genocidal Gaian wackos, because Chinese Carbon and Chinese Sulfur Pollution and Chinese Nitrate Pollution are Holy Prayer Sacraments Offered Up To The Planet Goddess. Every molecule of Sanctified Chinese Prayer Carbon magically cancels out one molecule of Satanic American Sin Carbon.
By stopping the pipeline, Obama has not only lost support from unpartied voters who want America to start protecting its own fucking interests. He's also lost a lot of union men who would have been with him otherwise. ¶ 3:04 AM
Obama blocked the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline on Wednesday, at least temporarily, but Republicans signaled their intention to again to force the issue.
"This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people," Obama said in a written statement. "I'm disappointed that Republicans in Congress forced this decision."
