Eight of the 18 non-incumbent Democrats running for Senate surveyed by The Hill either steadfastly support the pipeline or oppose it outright, breaking with Obama’s decision to reserve judgment on the project until federal regulators conduct a full review. – The Hill

“President Obama’s rhetoric is matched with a policy record that is aggressively anti-energy and continues to stifle economic growth in Oklahoma and throughout the nation.” Gov. Fallin said Obama should “reexamine his polices, not deliver more speeches taking credit for the accomplishments of others.”

The “Obama Energy Gap” — the glaring discrepancy between the president’s rhetorical support for Republicans’ ‘all-of-the-above’ energy policy, and his failed energy record that has driven up gas prices and cost American jobs is highlighted by speaker Boehner. As President Obama visits Cushing, Oklahoma today in a desperate attempt to claim credit for expediting the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline, Speaker Boehner noted that President Obama has rejected and personally lobbied against the pipeline, and that there’s only one permit requiring his approval — the one he is currently blocking to facilitate the flow of Canadian and American energy to U.S. refineries. Boehner uses a graphic illustration so even Democrat socialists can understand.

Obama had the audacity to pressure Democrat senators to block approval of the Keystone XL pipeline which would provide millions of barrels of Canadian oil to the US and create thousands of real jobs. Obama seems to be doing everything he can to kill jobs and drive up gas prices. Not surprising when you remember his anti-energy secretary is infamous for saying the US needs to find a way to have higher gas prices like those in Europe. Obama himself warned in 2008 that under his plans energy rates would “necessarily skyrocket.” Look at what they do not what they say.

83% higher gas prices since Obama took office. Obama has said he is ok with higher gas prices as long as its a gradual increase. His anti-energy secretary Chu is famous for having said the US needs to have higher gas prices like in Europe.

Frustrated with Obama’s job destroying decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline Rep. Kristi Noem (R-SD) talks with Neil Cavuto about a House bill to override the president and allow the pipeline. She knows there is no hope of such a bill passing in the senate. It probably would blocked from a vote by Harry Reid.

“Well, we fought and won World War II in less time than it’s taken so far to evaluate this project,” Barton said. “I mean, with all due respect, it is an insult to the American people to say that you need more time.”

Obama picks Marxist dictator Chavez’s oil instead of ethical Canadian oil choosing Hollywood celebs over middle class workers. What a hypocrite.

Oil and natural gas production on federal lands is down by more than 40 percent compared to 10 years ago. Under the Obama administration, 2010 had the lowest number of onshore leases issued since 1984. The Obama administration held only one offshore lease sale in 2011.

Obama’s answer was always no on the pipeline. Congress just forced him to say it before the election. We have a president who promised a plan that would ‘skyrocket’ electricity rates, an EPA that bases its illegal and tyrannical power grab on fraudulent data and suppressed any dissent, and an administration that is collectively working to ruin the oil, steel, coal, and cement industries.
