Who knows how many potential jobs President Obama killed yesterday when he bowed to hard-core environmental activists and put an indefinite hold on the mammoth Keystone XL oil pipeline?
Beyond doubt, it was a lot.
At the same time, he planted a big wet one on his greenie base — which he’ll need to hold on to if he’s to win re-election.
Obviously, he has his priorities.
To be sure, the hold Obama placed on Keystone is temporary — but long enough to get past November.
The 1,700-mile pipeline would carry crude oil from the Canadian province of Alberta to Gulf Coast refineries in Texas.
Comment:The ability to refine more oil in America and to produce alternative sources such as cellulosic ethanol are national security issues!
