We have long espoused the idea that the people rule the government. After all, we elected them, so they should do as we bid. By that, of course, we meant the MAJORITY of the people. Not a bunch of Jughead environmentalists on your doorstep...
I case you missed it, the Obama Administration decided to 'table' it's decision to allow the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada to the refineries in Texas until 2013. This was pretty much a reversal from it's expected choice just a month or two ago. Why? Well, we can only think they tabled their balls - along with the decision.
First off on the Pipeline. It's getting done. Canada is full bore ready to do this. Someone else will get the oil if we don't want it. Canada is a country that is far more environmental than we are, but even they know they have to use SOME of their natural resources to sustain an economy. In short, they are realists. American, OTOH, are hypocrites... We protest the use of any use of fuel...then we hop into the Prius - WHICH USES GAS - and go home to our McMansion THAT RUNS ON ELECTRICITY - and we think we're 'Being Green'. Unless all of those morons filled the bus up with Wesson Oil, they go there on the power of some type of fossil fuel...
Now, did the Obama Administration decide that the pipeline is bad? Nope, not at all. If they did, then they would have scrapped the plan altogether... and we would give them some credit for having the balls to do so, even if it is wrong. But, they are pushing the decision to 2013 - after the election. It's simple - it's politics...
Obama's core is still the far left environmental wing. They're not happy with him for not being environmentally conscious enough (re: for being realistic), so they camped out in front of the White House.... and Obama caved it. Stupid in our minds. They will still be there for him next year. Who else are they going to vote for?
Obama's move will cost him next year. Not with the 50 green freaks eating Granola on Pennsylvania Avenue, but with the millions of people who he told that Jobs were his sole focus. That We Can't Wait for Jobs. Apparently, they CAN wait, and the jobs he was talking about were his, and Joe Biden's , etc..... Until then, we'll see if that Solyndra Solar Panel can hook onto the top of my car and get me to work. I Can't Wait.

Yes it is about jobs, about rent a protest in front of the White House or Das kapital building with real pros that pay SEIU extortion, er dues and have either nice union printed signs or have nice union hand lettered signs.
