In this 30 second ad, Obama justifies killing the Keystone XL pipeline and portrays himself as the clean energy President. As an added bonus, he gets to demonize entrepreneurial businessmen who earned their money and their success. It’s the height of propaganda, and it’s not true.
The President lauds the fact that we are importing less oil and it’s all thanks to him. We don’t need Keystone, we have Obama and his plan for America.
In his ad, Obama failed to mention that the main reason for our reduced reliance on foreign oil is because we are CONSUMING LESS. We are consuming less because we CAN’T AFFORD TO GO ANYWHERE and our economy is sinking further and further into the tank!!!
Thank you President Obama for impoverishing us. Four more years of this and we won’t be able to leave our homes and our reliance will be even less – wow, thanks, whoopee!!!
The President who claims to be a man of the people is the most political, divisive leader this country has known.
If you want to know why Keystone was killed, it wasn’t because it would eventually employ 300,000 people and it wasn’t because it would reduce our reliance on foreign oil, which is what it would have done. It was because Obama’s potential environmental loon donors were anti-Keystone. When his donors were polled, that was one of their biggest concerns.
Let’s not forget that the Koch brothers, who are the oil billionaires referenced at the beginning of this ad, are to Obama what Soros is to a conservative. Obama, the 1%er who luxuriates in splendor while the rest of us struggle, hates rich people who make their money on gas and oil. He loves rich people who donate to him and make their money on corrupt solar companies.
In this ad, Obama wasn’t exactly honest about his solar successes like Solyndra and the other 11 failed enterprises that devoured taxpayer dollars as they sunk into bankruptcy and finally, oblivion. Read here 12 failed Obama solar ventures and Solyndra dump
Obama really knows his clean energy when it comes to cars. Look at how he pushed the Volt. Oh, I forgot that’s a dirty car that couldn’t even meet California emissions standards.
Obama tries to portray himself as the ethics czar on this issue. The not-exactly-conservative politifact said the following -
…The Obama ad that quickly slips in claims that slickly appear to be the result of Obama’s policies, though the ad does not directly make that claim—a reference to 2.7 million clean-energy jobs, a note that for the first time in 13 years foreign oil imports are below 50 percent.
Those figures are correct, but they are also not tethered to anything Obama has done. The report that mentioned the 2.7 million jobs simply said that is how many potentially exist. Meanwhile, the Energy Department cited a host of reasons why foreign oil imports have declined, noting the main reason was “a significant contraction in consumption” because of the poor economy and changes in efficiency that began “two years before the 2008 crisis”—ie, before Obama took office.
Then, in bold type, the ad proclaims: President Obama “kept a campaign promise to toughen ethics rules” and it cites: “PolitiFact, 1/21/09.”
Politifact did write that on Jan. 21, 2009, but then it almost immediately changed its ruling as Obama began granting waivers to his ethics policy. (Editor’s Note: Obama LIED!!!)
Just two days later, on Jan. 23, Politifact moved its ruling to “compromise” when Obama gave a waiver to William J. Lynn III, the nominee for deputy defense secretary. By March 17, PolitiFact called it a “promise broken” because so many waivers had been granted.
“After examining the administration’s actions for the past two months, we have concluded that Obama has broken this promise,” Politifact said. In fact, this is listed as one of the “top promises” that he has broken…







Hope and change we can believe in…..
Well to be fair one must give credit where credit is due. In this case yes we must give credit to the “O” for indeed he has helped reduce our usage. No longer is it $1.70 a gallon to heat your home it is but $4.00 a gallon. Fuel to get to work for those that still have a job $3.75 a gallon.So by his backdoor ideology of punishing abusing and taxing the hell out of the users, he has indeed reduced
usage.
I know it’s great. If he keeps it up, we won’t have anyone on the roads and we’ll save a lot of fuel. We will also be much safer because there will be fewer car accidents.
Employ 300000 people? HAAAAH! You sir, are a riot. Hell the highest number that came up was one from a statistics company in bed with those making the pipeline, and that was 20000, then other independent surveys state as low as 500 permanent jobs.
Once a pipelines established it doesn’t take many people to oversee and maintain it.
Keep watching Fox News and pretend to get facts.
“…The pipeline proposed by Calgary-based TransCanada, which would move 700,000 barrels of crude a day, would secure market access for oil companies such as Suncor Energy Inc. (SU) and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNQ), also based in Calgary, and sustain an investment boom in Canada’s energy sector. Toronto-based Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce estimates cumulative investments in Alberta’s oil sands may rise to C$180 billion ($171 billion) and create 300,000 jobs by the end of this decade.
The pipeline will generate $20.9 billion in new spending in the U.S. and more than $585 million in state and local taxes along the pipeline route, according to a study from the Waco, Texas-based Perryman Group, a financial analysis firm commissioned by TransCanada…”Read here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-24/harper-sees-keystone-pipeline-prevailing-with-jobs-over-nebraska.html
The unions wanted the pipeline as well.
