>> President Obama has that pipeline exactly right, it's to move Canadian oil through our country to sell on world markets. Totally irrelevant. Only an idiot would suggest this matters. What does matter is that it is a hell of a lot easier to guarantee access to Canadian oil flowing through your country than it is to OPEC oil from the other side of the world. While the supply currently, right this moment, is looking good for the US, it would be stupid to discount the possibility we can't end up where we were 15 years ago. This is just stupidity on the president's part. And, of course, yours. There is literally no cogent argument in favor of this stonewalling. Anyone could rebut it in 30 seconds.

That oil is going to be extracted whether that pipeline exists or not. Either it's going to go to refineries in the U.S. or it's going to be piped to the coast of Canada and either refined there in NEW refineries employing Canadians or it will be loaded on ships and sent to foreign countries so THEY can refine it. You may not know this but refineries ACTUALLY provide jobs and lots of them. And they are high paying jobs. If you think ALL that oil coming from Canada would not add MANY thousands of jobs then I think you are mistaken. So, either we give those many thousands of jobs to another country or we keep them here in the U.S. BTW......I DESPISE the Koch Brothers, so don't think this has anything to do with those creeps.
