Prez Obama Tells Canada To Shove It's Oil Pipeline

[Shol'va]

Personally I think this is a bad decision, especially the next time the mideast decides to cut off our oil flow from them. And besides I rather our money go to our friends and neighbors to the north rather than hostile countries hell bent on our destruction.

This is a tactic to not piss off his base before elections, nothing more. He's trying to delay reality for a bit.

[Coolhand5599]

Obama SUCKS.. It's all political, the tree huggers told him they will not campaign for him if he put this through. He is putting his own personal gain ahead of the best intrest of America. Some leader we have

Funny............he didnt want the American flag on Air Force One or on his jacket, he's a muslim, & now when presented with an opportunity 2 cut ties 2 the muslim countries we get our oil from...................he turns it down. I swear this worthless piece of SH!T, money hungry cock smoker & his ghetto, hood rat wife, r anti American. Just in it 4 the $400K a yr & 2 do his part in bringing down the U.S.A.

[Coolhand5599]

It is overwhelming how many people I talk to and on all the forums I am on hate this guy. And yet the SOB will probably get a second term. It makes me sick that it's all about who has the most money wins. What ever happened to people running for office because they wanted to make he country better

[gixxerboy1]

He probably will win again but look who he may run against. I dont blame people for voting for him

[DanB]

so here in ireland there is no confidence in our government and im guessing its a mutual feeling in the states, am i right? and if so, why?
im interested as we dont hear much if anything about it over here

[Shol'va]

That is our problem in America. No one who can do the country good and has the best interests of our nation in mind, can afford or will run for office. Only scandel ridden self interest greedy scumbags apply. After all when it costs 1 billion dollars to run for president of the US and the job itself only pays 400 grand a year who else will run for the office except rich greedy scumbags. The poor need not apply. Something is severely wrong with our political system when these ultra wealthy men spend 1 billion to be elected to a 400 thousand dollar a year job but leave office even wealthier than they started. So we end up trying to choose from the lesser of two evils. Obama has made some bad choices but he also has made some good ones. For instance Osama Bin Hiding is no longer Hiding and we still have our social security and our American Auto Industry. But I really think this was an extremely bad move on his part to turn down our much needed oil pipeline from our Canadian friends to the north. Besides, KP and Cal could have used the work...lol

[zaggahamma]

the ppl voting for him dont have computers/internet/have knowledge and thats the ppl he wants to reach out to and keep the votes and the ignorance and the entitlements

i dont know obamas background but i doubt he funded his campaign himself and if it costs anything near the region you stated then im guessing he must owe some serious favours when he gets into office to repay for his campaign so im thinking corruption at highest level am i wrong?

[Standby]

yay more oil for me

[Spears88]

I can tell you one thing Obama did was make a change....by trillions in debt crap ton of welfare on the Obama care that we all hard working people pay for. But Oh well

[Spears88]

And another thing about Mideast oil I say we sell them a bushel Of corn for 80 dollars because they can't grow stuff there

[gixxerboy1]

I can tell you one thing Obama did was make a change....by trillions in debt crap ton of welfare on the Obama care that we all hard working people pay for. But Oh well

im no Obama fan but what do you expect about the welfare and food stamps. The market crashed just as he was elected

I wish you were wrong. But our politicians are very corrupt

This is the case for both parties who gain office. They owe campaign favors after being elected, whether they be to big business or the pharmaceutical companies or whomever and is a big reason why a lot of loopholes in the system never get fixed because if it is a loophole that will hurt any of those campaign contributors then that loophole never gets closed and the average American taxpayer suffers for it by ending up with the cost. The estimated cost of this presidential election of 2012 to get elected is 1 billion dollars. This is the sad part of our politics.

Ok your right but I'm talking about the welfare people that go to Walmart spend close to 2,000 on food with stamps dressed nice new everything then get outside and get into there hummer kinda taking advantage this was two nights ago

recent irish president was elected on a 2 million euro campaign lol but irish president has virtually no input, they just sign off on new legislations with are proposed by our cabinet, who i think are your equivalent of senators? but our last two taoiseachs (real people who run country, like prime minister in uk) were kicked out of office along with entire government for corruption, favours for friends, corporations,massive expense accounts and dodgy tax affairs etc so looks like we are actually very similar countries be it on a much smaller scale

[Shol'va]

Yeah he was handed a mess when he took office. I don't hate the guy I just disagree with some of his moves such as this one. It just doesn't make sense to me not to make a deal with our neighbors to the north to gain a steady flow of oil from a friendly country next door to us instead of having it shipped from halfway around the world from hostile nations.....

I dont know enough to have a real opinion. I've heard sound bites for both sides. Yes i think we need the pipe line but seems like there are some legitimate concerns about its pla***ent and drinking water.

[jimmyinkedup]

A government of the special interests , by the special interests, and for the special interests.
Just like our founding fathers intended.

[Vettester]

This is really too bad! I'm in an industry that would see quite a bit of benefit from this project. Change and hope??? We got duped!

Oh, I love how he blames the GOP on this ... Those wascally wepublicans. I have yet to see just one time where this guy, and his administration take any responsibility for any of the problems we have in the US. This pipeline deal is a no brainer! Obama has been talking about jobs for America ever since he got elected. I have heard that this project would create 20,000 new jobs, not to mention the surge of stimulation to so many other sectors. Not even Carter would have passed on this deal.

Don't feel bad..... I work in an industry thats going to get fvcked six ways from sunday with this obamacare shit.....

According to the docs and the higher ups worldwide in my company..... it's going to ruin our industry in america. There's a lot I still don't know about it.... the specifics on how it's going to affect us..... but I do know it's going to hurt us in the pockets thats for sure.

Plain and f**king simple bro.....He plans to have Medicare slash reimbursements by another 20%+. The problem is, everytime Medicare reduces reimbursements, so do all the private insurers who pay higher rates. They are no dummies, they figure, if we are willing to accept lower reimbursements, why should THEY keep paying more, when they can cut their bottomline, and show bigger returns for their shareholders.

[Times Roman]

I’m not in agreement with the president on this one

[JD250]

I dont know enough to have a real opinion. I've heard sound bites for both sides. Yes i think we need the pipe line but seems like there are some legitimate concerns about its pla***ent and drinking water.

This isn't true Gix........the aquifer in question is literally in my back yard.....google that shit and look at how many pipelines run above the aquifer now. It's been proven that the risk is minimal.

Also, we gotta stop blaming our economy on Bush, yes he was handed a mess but what is important to pay attention to is how he responded to the mess. Look at it like this.....what if something happened in your life that caused a financial hardship.......would you go spend up all your credit cards fixing shit that didn't need fixed and give a bunch of money to family and friends and go buy a new car and house and buy one for your friends too...........**** NO....you would cut back spending!! Not spend more!! You would invest what money you had in the most profitable areas not give it away with reckless abandon. You can't hang this shit on anyone but Obama, he makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius. I also won't give him credit for finding Osama.....he just happened to be in office when it happened and took credit for it. This idiot hasn't done ONE good thing for this country, I will vote for whoever IS NOT OBAMA!!!

[paulzane]

America .... Land of "Democracy and Freedom" ...... Oh really??????

[wmaousley]

I guess he doesnt care about creating jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RaginCajun]

I guess he doesnt care about creating jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the biggest problem i have. that pipepline would have created numerous jobs in numerous states.

[gixxerboy1]

!

I'll check it out. Like i sadi i just heard sound bites so i didnt know how accurate anything i heard was.

I also heard it would only create 6000 jobs and they would be temporary. That seems like a really low number

[SlimmerMe]

When has any other President constantly blamed the previous one. Or EVER for that matter.

Boo hoo hoo......

[Vettester]

I guess he doesnt care about creating jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right on! The proof is in the pudding. Well, he does want to create more jobs, but he wants those to be Government based jobs, not private sector.

Even Carter would have known that passing this pipeline project would have probably been the catalyst to get him re-elected. Obama has this untouchable, arrogant mindset about himself, and he obviously feels that he is the chosen one no matter what decisions he makes.

[Vettester]

Here's one way to look at this president. It's like having a job where you really don't like your boss, and you think things are rock bottom. Then you get a new boss and realize that things can actually get a lot worse. For those who thought Clinton or Bush was a bad deal, I would gladly take either one of them back in a heartbeat. Bill Clinton had the smarts to know when it was necessary to work with the Senate and the House, and that definitely helped his cause for a 2nd term. Obama has no intention with working with anyone! YES, he will just blame everyone else. The pipeline deal is no exception ... He blames the GOP for rushing him to make a decision. This has been on the table for a long time. And just how much time did he give everyone to review his stimulus bill when he got elected? If I remember right, thousands of pages were jammed through some midnight meetings, and nobody got a chance to look at it. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt!

MOTHER FVCKING BINGO!

It's sad to say..... he'll get re-elected based on lak of a better candidate..... not because he's the right man for the job. Regarding the hand he was dealt..... he PROMISED change. He knew the economy was tanking when he took office..... the term is 4 YEARS. So far what has he done in these years to fix it? Has it gotten better? Don't make promises you can't keep...... ofcoarse thats the politician way though. Now we're gunna hear "It takes longer than four years to fix a broken economy so you'll need to re-elect me for the next four....." He wont get shit done durring the election year either.....

~Haz~

[JD250]

DEAR GOD!!!!!! What do you guys mean when you say he'll get re-elected for lack of a better candidate.......Name ANY candidate or hopeful from the last 30 years and they would be better!!

As far as jobs go......take a closer look at what kind of hope and change this man has brought us......he has created 10s if not 100s of thousands of jobs, 20 some thousand IRS agents 20 some thousand OSHA agents (residential construction) the list of Govt employment goes on and on......If anyone has a problem seeing the issue with this, they shouldn't be allowed to vote on grounds of stupidity, you can't fix stupid.

Small businesses can't take another 4 years of this commie bastard, NO business can!!! If you think he screwed things up this time......just wait, he doesn't have anything to lose in the next 4 years.

We live in a screwed up country and I believe this man recieved a huge amount of votes because it made people feel warm and fuzzy to make history, he had no qualifications whatsoever and no experience yet people voted for him.

Soooooooo..... you're gonna lay the blame on him for something bad that happened before he took office and you aren't gonna give him credit for something good that happened while he was in office?

[zaggahamma]

who we gonna give solyndra the credit to

[JD250]

Soooooooo..... you're gonna lay the blame on him for something bad that happened before he took office and you aren't gonna give him credit for something good that happened while he was in office?

I beg to differ......the economy was bad but captain dipshit spent TRILLIONS count em TRILLIONS of dollars in giveaway funds that anyone understands WHERE that money comes from, if you're in a ton of debt, can you get out of debt by spending more or by loaning yourself money? NO you can't yet he does it time after time, just the other day he proposed raising the debt cieling by TRILLIONS....sheeeeesh......this is obamas doing period!

What exactly did Obama do to help with finding Osama, he merely ALLOWED an ongoing pursuit started by Bush, to keep going, not exactly a ******* effort more of an apathetic coincidence.

[HitIt]

i'd vote for a shoe over obama...president shoe...sounds good to me
