The Keystone Pipeline is just a massive welfare project to build a giant hunk of metal that we don't need, that will be obsolete in 20 years, and that will steer America away from a sustainable future. It's a simple as that.

Unemploy American farmers or add a few temp jobs to build a pipeline that cuts through our heartland, you decide.

[SpigaloProductions]

Great! A huge win for Midwest American farmers, national parks and wildlife. Aside from a pipe leak destroying the largest aquefir that feeds our farmland tarsands create nearly twice as much pollution.

I 'am still numb from Obama's stupidity!! This guy needs to jump on a plane back home to Kenya!!......but remember he said that "America uses too much oil"....AND......"energy costs will necessarily rise under my Dictatorship"........so he has no interest is massive amount of friendly job creating oil coming into the country!!!!

[MiddleClassHomeless]

Obama is a Liar! He must be voted out in 2012 or the United States is doomed. I am the Middle Class Homeless, and I am mad as hell! Watch me totally go off on Obama in my videos. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

@hint0122 Man Obama is fucking up...I'm Canadian and I thought we were buddies. I mean 20,000 jobs gone.

[BErectus]

The irony is that the "environment stewardship" that this idiot Obama claims is his reason for shutting down the most efficient means for getting oil to market, will actually suffer because the oil will go to China, which is a much riskier route to market and, once there, will be used in much more environmentally risky ways. This idiot Obama and his base are fools that absolutely MUST be kicked out of office ASAP.

[hint0122]

and now the oil will go to china. thanks obama for fucking this country over
