That's The Best He Could Do?

"They rushed me!"

That's the best reason Obama could come up with for choking off yet another source of North American (aka non-terrorism affiliated) oil? This is the same guy that had to "sleep on it" on whether not to implement a planned raid to kill bin laden.

Fresh off his taking a year to listen to his generals on Afghanistan (only to go against their advice) and appointing committee after committee to propose reforms to get the economy going (only to ignore their advice), Obama now claims that he had to stop an oil pipeline and the thousands of jobs associated with getting some North American fuel flowing in our system.

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

President Obama announced Wednesday that he will deny a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, blaming Republicans for imposing a "rushed and arbitrary deadline" which he said did not give officials enough time...

For three years, the State Department has been reviewing the initial proposal to run a pipeline from Canada down to Texas through a sensitive Nebraska aquifer -- authority it has because of the transnational path the route takes.

King of failing to **it or get off the pot.

Mind you, this is the same jerk running around screaming about how he has to ignore Congress and the Constitution because JOBS JOBS JOBS WE CAN'T WAIT!!!! JOBS JOBS JOBS!
