Keystone Pipeline IS About Ideology Not Security

How does the president explain why he thinks it's a good idea to stop the flow of oil, stop the creation of thousands of jobs and communities from getting millions in new tax dollars. Not only jobs and money, we get a secure source of energy to feed our homes and industry.

Oh wait, it's not really about all this stuff just mentioned, it's about bringing the country to heal position. It's about leveling the playing field so everyone in this country doesn't have more than anyone else, except the president and his progressive socialist left associates of course. Hey someone has to have more then others, right?

Can this really be the reasons for not approving the pipeline? Can Mr. Obama really believe we all deserve to live in cardboard boxes and eat roots as what's best for America? You decide.

While Iran threatens to block oil shipments from the Persian Gulf, the White House has 60 days to decide whether to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The 1,700-mile pipeline would transport crude oil from Canada to oil refining centers in Texas.

Apart from strengthening America’s energy security by increasing the supply of reliable oil, the Keystone pipeline will create about 20,000 jobs and lead to about $20 billion in private sector investment at no cost to taxpayers.

According to estimates, the pipeline will generate more than $585 million in new taxes along the pipeline route, as well as $5.2 billion in property taxes during the lifetime of the pipeline. President Obama has 60 days to decide whether to issue a permit for the pipeline. If he doesn't issue a permit, the President is required to explain why the pipeline is not in the national interest.
