Keystone Pipeline Now In Congressional Hands?
Keystone Pipeline
.
Only two fistfuls of days after President Obama shut the door on the Keystone Pipeline project, it appears that The House Of Representatives and Speaker Of The House John Boehner may be kicking that door back open.
On Sunday, Speaker Boehner spoke with ABC’s Jake Tapper on “This Week” saying:
“All options are on the table. If it’s not enacted before we take up the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, it’ll be part of it,”
The Keystone project would extend an oil pipeline from Canada through the United States.
Citing political maneuvering as President Obama’s motivation for killing the project earlier this month, Boehner said:
“Now that the president has decided for political reasons that we’re not going to move ahead just yet, not until after the election… we’re going to have to find another way to lean on the Senate, to take this issue up, because the Keystone pipeline will create … over 100,000 indirect jobs,”
In an economic environment where jobs are a precious rarity, we will keep an eye on Congress and see if the Split-body can make inroads into the project.

The Congress should tell the Senate that if they don’t vote for the pipeline, when Obama’s next jobs, banking, small business bill comes up they will tell Reid what he seems to be the only thing he knows how to say, “This bill is dead on arrival!” and kill Obama’s jobs bill. “What jobs bill?” Oh you didn’t hear him today tell some people somewhere that he was going to make changes in small business laws giving small business easier way to borrow money, give middle class tax breaks, reduce Capital Gains tax to zero, and a bunch of other stuff. Yeah, it’s for political purposes only. He really dosen’t mean it, and everything he does he can take right back as soon as he gets reelected, if that happens. You know he wouldn’t do anything he couldn’t overturn in a heartbeat.
But you know he’s going to scribble down something on a piece of toilet paper and call that a bill and give it the Senate. What the Congress needs to do is tell that idiot Reid that all bills must originate in the Congress and if he doesn’t turn that over to them right now Reid won’t see daylight for a month after he finally pulls himself out of Obama’s butt!
