This is the problem with America, He just blocked the bill to build the pipe-line that would have made more jobs and lower the gas prices in america yet hes partying in Hawaii or some other exotic place while we all suffer! B.S.

If the gas prices go higher than $4 he should get impeached


Lol

You need to stop drinking the GoP coolaid...

it's funny how everyone always blame government for gas prices...

So what have you done recently to lower your gas useage ?

Being that oil pipelines are less likely to have a leak than an oil tanker, the typical leak from an oil pipeline is 1% to 10% as much oil as a tanker spill, oil spills on land are far easier to clean up than those in water, and the oil produced in Canada would offset oil from unstable and insecure countries that fund terrorism can you explain how the decision to block the Keystone oil pipeline was a good decision?

Are you aware that the United States is once again a net exporter of petroleum products ?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203441704577068670488306242.html

So that oil that would come from the pipeline would most likely not stay in the US...

... and the United States could not use more jobs focusing on exports?

You're acting like that pipeline is the only way to create jobs.. And the number of jobs advanced by the builders and supporters are deeply flawed ( they say they will create 10 000 jobs, but most of those are only for the construction of the pipeline, most of those jobs will be gone once the pipeline is built)

if you want to create jobs there are ways to do it without pushing for fossil oil consumption ( like wind farms for example).

Guess who is pushing like crazy for green energy while people are still arguing over here whether the planet is warming up or not ?

China, they are now the number one producer of wind energy in the world....

it certainly isnt democrats or "environmentalists". those are the people that are always against and strike down projects, like solar fields and wind farms. every time one is proposed they basically say "NIMBY" Solar field in the middle of the desert: NO. Wind farm miles of the coast. NO

its always conservatives that push every form of energy, and they dont believe currently non sustainable and non profitable and non practicle energy sources should be propped up by the government (see: Selyndra). they believe the market should choose the energy.

and anything that creates jobs would be great, and something new for Obama
