… it just promised
In April, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper revealed disheartening consequences for America’s energy policy at a think-tank event in Washington. Asked about President Obama’s decision to put off a decision on the construction of the cross-border Keystone XL pipeline, Harper explained that it would permanently alter Canadian energy policy. […]
Harper went on to say that the alternative to a pipeline south into the Gulf region of the United States was a pipeline west to reach the markets of Asia. Now fast forward a couple months, and the New York Times is reporting this:
While Joe Oliver, Canada’s minister of natural resources, said in an interview that the United States would remain Canada’s “most important customer,” billions of barrels of oil that would have been refined and used in the United States are now poised to head elsewhere. Expansion of Canada’s fast-growing oil-sands industry will be restricted by the lack of pipeline capacity before the decade’s end, he said, which “adds to the urgency of building them so that the resources will not be stranded.”
Three new pipeline network proposals — two that call for heading west and the other east — have been put forward.
Heckava job, Barry! Four more years!! Forward!
No, I had never understood President Obama’s economic policies. Until now. At the Netroots Conference in Rhode Island this past weekend, a gathering of President Obama’s most fervent core supporters discussed the concept of economic growth. One such Obama supporter, featured panelist Colin Mulcher, shed light on the subject: “I think currently the goal seems to be, like, the unstated assumption is that the goal is growth, for the sake of growth. It’s like, we have to grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow. Why? I don’t know, we just have to grow. The only thing that I know about [where] the definition is out-of-control growth, is cancer. Like, literally … the definition of out-of-control growth is cancer.”

Must have missed this one too on the “all of the above” list.
this would be more enraging if Team R hadn’t nominated Meghan’s coward slut daddy a scant 4 years ago
Colin Mulcher: Too fuckin’ STUPID for politics.
So Obama is like totally chemo therapy for the United States? Sure he makes your hair and teeth fall out, and your bones get brittle and you throw up a lot but that’s just another reason to legalize pot right? This is like medical shit dude. Obama is like a Doctor for fucked up crypto-fascist racist wasp countries that need to be put up against the wall and shot so those corporate fat-cat pigs get that they deserve dig? No not GE or NBC. Or Ben and Jerry’s. God you sound like one of those extremist faith based 1 percentards or something. Jeez. Your brain needs like a Palinectomy.
– This comment by Mulcher is key to understanding the anti-human race attitudes of the Left across the board. They are sincere in their beliefs that humankind is an evil blight on mother Gia. Mankind (except them of course) is a parasite, destroying the natural goodness of the planet.
– They conflate the need for common sense and effective planning when it comes to growyj into a shrill anto-growth clamor that leaves no room for anything that can be managed properly, no exceptions.
– Such an extreme agenda represents an over reactive suicide pact which we must fight back against as agressively as anything else we have to deal with.
– Obama’s decision to nix the pipeline, in itself probably not a huge deal in the overall scheme of things but hugely important when you’re looking for anything to spur a recovery, may turn out to be the straw for even the faithful, because as asocial as they all act, when Dems need to eat they’re just like anyone else.
– RT – Apparently some of the Democratic press weasles were less than thrilled with Bubbleheads speech in Ohio today.
Their heroes are “Native” Americans: Stone age hunter-gatherers. Ric Locke pointed out years ago that this is the basis for their whole economic world view: they think like hunter gatherers rather than wealth producers. Everything evolves except man.
Somebody tell this dipshit that “energy independence” doesn’t mean “independence from energy”.
You guys keep talking like this and I will never get my 2000lb brick.
So Barry unilaterally waves his magic President wand in the other direction, south, toward Mexico, and grants what he wants. Hey, Mexican children! Whatever he can give you by fiat he can take away by fiat. Welcome to just another tyranny, niños.
Who says the growth is out-of-control?
Ooohhh. It’s out of their control.
Got it.
