The administration should “hug a jobless, construction worker” instead of “hugging a tree,” Terry O’Sullivan, president of the Laborers Union International, said in an e- mailed statement. “Blue collar construction workers across the U.S. will not forget this.”

The GOP killed the pipeline

quote:

President Obama halted the Keystone pipeline Thursday, citing its potential harm to underground aquifers in Nebraska. He said he's a committed environmentalist. Barack Obama is so committed to recycling that he's promising hope and change in his next term.

Warren Buffett was revealed to own the railroad that'll transport Canadian oil to Texas now that Obama's canceled the Keystone pipeline. It's all clear now. President Obama will only say it's really unfair that the railroad engineer has to pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett.

"The one person who deserves no credit for this [oil and gas] boom is Barack Obama. In fact, this Administration has bent over backwards to make oil and gas production and exploration as difficult as possible.

According to the Institute for Energy Research (IER), the Obama Administration has been issuing BLM oil and gas leases at the lowest pace of any president in the last 30 years – in fact at half the rate of the Clinton White House and 80% slower than in the Reagan era, dragging their feet to please the environmental lobby (see top chart above).

By comparing oil and gas production on Federal vs. state and private lands, we can get a true read on this Administration’s energy policy. Since Obama took office, according to the Institute for Energy Research, oil production has fallen precipitously on Federal onshore and offshore leases, while it has increased by an even larger amount on state and private lands largely outside of this Administration’s reach.

The only reason total oil [and gas] production has increased since Obama took office is because private companies on state and private lands have increased production enough to offset the large drop that has occurred in Obama-controlled producing regions. Obama’s taking credit for the current oil and gas boom ranks up there in the pantheon of great political whoppers right next to Al Gore’s invention of the Internet."

MP: The bottom chart above shows that the share of total natural gas production taking place on federally administered land fell to 20% in 2010, the lowest share in at least 35 years.
