We are still waiting on those million shovel ready jobs the stimulus promised. But I kinda like what he Canadian prime minister said. Ill paraphrase .... "You Americans are absolutely nuts. If you want to treat your whole country like an off-limits National Park you go right ahead, but you can't make us treat our country that way. And if we have to we'll run a pipeline to the Chinese...... We're gonna move this oil." Its pretty simple. Its an election year and Obama needs to secure his base and pander to the wacko environmentalists.
