Republicans say that the pipeline will provide jobs for at least 20,000 Americans across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama Administration, however has threatened to veto any bi=partisan approval of the pipeline. In a link from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2011\/12\/08\/senate-rejects-democrats-revised-payroll-tax-cut-bill\/\">Fox News<\/a>, they quote the Democrats;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a non-starter,&#8221; House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said. <\/p>\n<p>Her top deputy, Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., urged Republicans to &#8220;reconsider&#8221; the Keystone language. <\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Jay Carney warned Republicans not to include &#8220;extraneous attachments&#8221; in the bill. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whatever happened to Republicans being for tax cuts?&#8221; Carney asked. &#8220;Is it because this one goes to 160 million Americans, middle-class working Americans, that they&#8217;re ambivalent or they&#8217;re willing to oppose it if they don&#8217;t get some political scalp? Is it because President Obama supports it, or Democrats support it?&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In his 1979 &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.volstate.edu\/geades\/FinalDocs\/1970s&#038;beyond\/malaise.htm\">Malaise Speech<\/a>&#8221; Jimmy Carter, when he announced the establishment of the Energy Department, promised;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To make absolutely certain that nothing stands in the way of achieving these goals, I will urge Congress to create an energy mobilization board which, like the War Production Board in World War II, will have the responsibility and authority to cut through the redtape, the delays, and the endless roadblocks to completing key energy projects.<\/p>\n<p>We will protect our environment. But <strong>when this Nation critically needs a refinery or a pipeline, we will build it<\/strong>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The emphasis is mine. If they won&#8217;t bother to build this pipeline, like they haven&#8217;t built a single refinery since that speech, what will Democrats do to put Americans back to work and relieve our dependency on Middle East oil (another broken promise from Jimmy Carter in that speech). And what, exactly, is the purpose of the Energy Department if they just block energy production in this hemisphere?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, th Obama Administration wants to make it sound like a tax cut issue, but obviously Republicans are committed to help Americans find work. So what does Obama have against increasing the ranks of the employed, and the tax money that the government would get as a result?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obama wants a tax cut and the Republicans are willing to give him one&#8230;if he helps &hellip; <a title=\"Why does Obama hate jobs?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27857\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Why does Obama hate jobs?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
