Obama to "Pivot" on Jobs, Depending on Global Warming.

Obama, sabotaging the middle class since 2008.

Obama criticizes pro-Keystone pipeline jobs, gas price claims
President Obama said the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline would not be a major job creator and could increase gasoline prices, but added that the White House decision will rest on climate change
“Republicans have said that this would be a big jobs generator. There is no evidence that that’s true,” Obama said in a New York Times interview published Saturday.
Obama, in some of his most extensive remarks ever on the pipeline, also said Canada could “potentially be doing more” to curb emissions from the oil sands.
His comments follow his closely watched late June pledge that Keystone XL would only receive a federal permit if the “net” effects of the pipeline would not “significantly exacerbate” carbon pollution.~snip~
Where he gets the idea that approval for the pipeline wouldn't create jobs is a mystery to me but I gotta give him the credit for realizing that gasoline prices will rise. But not because of the Keystone XL pipeline but because of the the EPA's obstinate obstructionism to building more refineries.

As far as the "climate change" scare tactic well, there hasn't been any global warming for at least the last 15+ years.

So much for the Obama "pivot".

I've thought all along, POTUS would have to allow for the pipeline, and he's just mollifying the environmentalist
