Fox News has claimed that TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline would create somewhere between 50,000 and a million jobs. In fact, even TransCanada acknowledges that the total jobs created would be far fewer, and an independent report has found that the project could actually destroy more jobs than it creates through higher fuel costs and environmental damage.

Like all those construction jobs on the XL pipeline the GOP obstructed?

Right, but why in hell isn't Romney beating him over the head with it?

If he is I haven't seen it. And he should be -- it is a blunder that ought to play well in swing states. Of course, I'm not in one so maybe he is and I don't know it.
