President continues push to wreck US economy

Many months ago I wondered in this blog, "What would it be like to have a president who liked the United States."

Apparently we won't know until we dump the Comrade.

Canadian oil sands have been in the news for a time. It's actually oil in heavy sand deposits, and there's plenty of it. I believe we even have some of it in the US. Well, anyway, Canada is mining it, and was hoping to get the US to buy it and refine it. We'd have to build a pipeline extension from central Canada to refineries located around Kansas City (it looks like) and in Texas.

This project would replace a part of the oil we buy from the Middle East and probably South America -- people who generally hate the US and only want to exploit us, the US being an endlessly wealthy fat cat, you know. The project would also create thousands of good-paying jobs, and for that reason, the labors unions have been promoting it.

But the environmentalists are appalled. Involving the US in this project would infinitely delay our migration into residential tree houses in the redwood forest. Or something like that. Who the hell knows what the environmentalists are after? Some kind of anti-tchnology Ted Kazinski scenario.

So Comrade Blockhead in the White House, being torn between sucking up to the unions or to the environmentalists, has "decided" not to decide anything about this. He says he'll made a decision about it -- after the next election.

Well, Canada isn't waiting. Canada has a couple billion dollars (or loonies, in Canada) sunk into developing the oil sands, and they have offers from other nations, like Red China.

Believe it was Senator John McCain who noted that the Comrade voted "present" on this project, just as the Comrade regularly voted present on just about everything while he was in the Illinois State Assembly. After all, you don't want to leave a record.

But, Comrade Butthead, copping out is also a decision, and a very bad one. We won't forget.

Save the Republic.
