Courtesy of CNN:
President Barack Obama on Friday rejected the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, ending the political fight over the Canada-to-Texas project that has gone on for much of his presidency.
Secretary of State John Kerry concluded the controversial project is not in the country's national security interest, and Obama announced from the White House that he agreed.
"America is now a global leader when it comes to taking serious action to fight climate change, and frankly approving this project would have undercut that leadership," Obama said.
Damn, now THAT'S my President!
Man you just KNOW this is going to drive the conservatives off the deep end.
Who am I kidding? Nowadays they have taken residence off the deep end.
Update: Well speaking of off the deep end, we all knew this was coming:
ANOTHER OBAMA SCREW UP
President Obama is stoked to kill the Keystone Pipeline to transport needed clean, safe, friendly energy to hungry markets. This dumps his promise of "working toward energy independence" and his supposed support for an "all of the above energy plan" into the crapper. Be prepared for actions like this in his final months in office - the expeditious transformation of America via nonsensical acts such as this, for it will be attempts at a rapid decline until and unless this Administration's equal branch of government - our elected legislative branch - doesn't start fighting back to protect America's economic opportunities leading to security and solvency. Step it up, politicians. Concerned voters - you, too. Remember, we can survive this President and his baffling blunders, but can we survive the people who voted for him - twice - and still believe he walks on water?
- Sarah Palin
"Expeditious?" Well it looks like SOMEBODY finally cracked open that thesaurus they received in the tenth grade.
And fess up, which one of you thinks the President walks on water?
Off the deep end? They've already been at the bottom of the toilet for years.

What does letting a Canadian company pump sludge across our country to Mexican refineries have to do with "energy independence"? Palin is either batshit stupid, or so rope-a-doped that she's swinging blindly at air now...
DeleteBoscue, I think it's a combination of "batshit stupid" and "rope-a-doped" with Sarah Palin! As soon as I heard the President's announcement I knew we were in for some pretty insane word salad from Sarah. She never fails us.

Delete‘I’ve seen America’s future — and it’s not Republican': How demographic change gives Democrats the advantage
ReplyDelete...This Republican race to the political bottom is happening because America’s conservatives are losing the culture wars. The US is now beyond the electoral tipping point, driven by a new progressive majority in the electorate: racial minorities (black and Hispanic) plus single women , millennials (born between 1982 and 2000) and secular voters together formed 51% of the electorate in 2012; and will reach a politically critical 63% next year.

The current flagrant & suspicious voting-machine flipping results in the pot vote in Ohio were caught in screen grabs... Ooops.

There are enough irregularities in Ohio’s statewide November election to merit a thorough investigation of the Buckeye State’s plans for the 2016 presidential election. The state does not need a repeat of the 2004 voting debacle.
How many other states can be shown to be part of this vote fixing before November 2016?
And the recent Kentucky Governor election looks rigged as well.
DeleteOhio at least has paper receipts. Indiana is the one I'd sorry about. No paper receipts, and it's a felony to take a photo of your ballot in he booth? Wtf?
DeleteOT There are a lot of stories around the internet today about Ben Carson's fabricated tale of being offered a scholarship to West Point. He has told some other whoppers which the media has shown to be wrong.
ReplyDeleteSo, when are we going to get some people from Alaska who are willing to tell the true story of the Arrival of Trig Palin because we know that Sarah Palin did not give birth to him.
While we are at it, let's get to the truth of some more stories. Has anyone in Anchorage or Wasilla seen Bristol lately? It wouldn't take too much trouble to drive past the doctor's office to see if her car is in the parking lot during normal business hours. Just when do we think that the baby is due-- and will Bristol be having premature birth or something that coincides with her being with Dakota in Kentucky? Let's also make sure that people know that Bristol does not write any of her facebook or Patheos posts. That's the work of Nancy French. I
No one here in Alaska cares enough even to pay attention to her. If we did, there'd be photos from the last 4 years, but guess what, the only stalker photos of Barstool here in AK come from lower 48 paps that care enough to come up here and look for her. If you care so much why not purchase a ticket and come stalk her yourself? Hotel rooms are cheap this time of year...
DeleteSometimes, something really good happens!

DeleteWe're near energy independence without depending on Canada (which just elected a left-leaning prime minister, who may not want to send Canadian resources our way, anyway).
ReplyDeleteIt was a rational, cost-effect move by the President.
btw -- our President doesn't use terms such as "crapper." {Palin's final sentence is so bizarrely non-sensical that it's exhibit #1 in "Sarah Doesn't Pay for a Ghostwriter" any longer.
You're still getting some 800M gallons of Canadian oil every day, although the U.S. is now producing as much as it imports. While I worry that more Canadian oil is now going to be shipped by railcar and road tanker, I do applaud Obama for saying no to the Koch brothers -- the only ones besides TransCanada that would have benefitted from Keystone.
DeleteAnd didn't theCanadians want to withdraw their request?
DeleteYes, but that was because they were hoping to put it off until the 2016 election, and of course hoping that a Repub would take the White House. Fat chance!
DeleteSister sarry needs to take herself a trip to the oil fields in northern Alberta. She also needs to read about the oil tankers filled with the very sludgy, very sulphury oil that blows up real good when the cars hop off the tracks. That would be what Keystone would be piping over some of the most precious farmland we have. All so it can get to Texas to be shipped to China or India, those oil hungry markets. It would benefit Americans very little. There would be short-term construction jobs, and then bupkus. Clearly this quote from her -- "needed clean, safe, friendly energy to hungry markets" indicates she has no clue.
ReplyDeleteAnd don;t forget what the refining of it does to the air quality..just what Houston needs...more contaminated air.
DeletePersonally the trip she should take is ON one of those railroad oil cars filled with that tar sands crude.
Delete"...into the crapper."
ReplyDelete-----------------
The more desperate she gets for attention, the less she bothers to even try to hide her innate crudity and vulgarity. How long before she goes ahead and tosses the "f bomb" into one of her imbecilic tirades?
You wrote that perfectly! Palin is vulgar and crude.
DeleteSafe?, Clean?, Friendly? ..... This crap is literally asphalt.... crap they make roads with. It's tar...so thick it has to be diluted to be pumped. Only reason there has been such a push is the gulf coast refiners are set up to crack and distill this stuff. (read that in a refiners annual report). Why don't our Canadian friends refine this product? That should be the tell.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sarah. Maybe they ought to be cooking tar oils in your neighborhood! I remember how energized you became when the gas companies began looking at the Mat-Su. You complaining about other people wishing for a future healthy planet just makes me sick. You are the worst type of Not In My Back Yard; but you have no problem messing with people’s property rights in the lower 48. Have you ever considered how nasty tar sand removal is, how inefficient and truly what an environmental disaster it is moving it from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico? Or are you just parroting the hype of the disgusting Koch refiners in Houston? If you aren’t worried about your children’s and grandchildren’s futures just STFU.
DeleteCanada does not have the refinery for it (and no one wants to build it) AND they do not have a port suitable for the super tanker needed to send the crap to China and other markets. None of it was ever going to be used here..we do not need it. And 35 jobs? Seriously. What a load of crap the GOP has foisted on this nation over this. And someone, please, investigate Boehner's Trans-Canada stock holdings...the man should be in jail.
DeleteNo has need spilling it into Lake Michigan right outside Chicago already. Watch this !!!!!!!
DeleteSafe, Clean and Friendly are relative terms. Time for a shower, Sarah, and don't forget to bring the plunger with you. See how that works?
DeleteBoo Hoo HOO, Queenie.
ReplyDeleteNobody's listening to you, still?
I raised my hand regarding your "walks on water"question.
ReplyDeleteMeeeee toooooo.
Delete"the people who voted for him - twice - and still believe he walks on water"
ReplyDelete--------------------------------
That always irritated me during the '08 campaign. I never knew anyone or saw any liberal site refer to then Senator Obama as "the One" or "the Messiah" or "the Anointed One" as so many republicans all claimed, or act as though they believed him to be any of those things.
I listened carefully to both Clinton and Obama; it seemed that many of their views were quite similar, both seeming to be centrists with Clinton a bit more hawkish. I gradually settled on Obama because Clinton's campaign just seemed to have too many missteps and I thought Obama could take his campaigning skills and success into the presidency and achieve success there also. Also Clinton played around with the primaries causing my vote to not be counted.
I didn't think then and I don't think now that he was any more than a brilliant, highly educated man with superb organizational skills an impressive resume well-suited for the presidency.
I believe he has overall been an excellent president.
Can Dr. Ben walk on water? The Tea Urinals seem to think he can. The ladies of the church basement seem to like him much. They love him much like a tater tot casserole.
DeleteHe is either on pain killers or he gave himself a lobotomy. And have you seen his wife? Neither one of them has sex appeal. No zip in their do dahs.
Better than believing in some make belief holy spirits.

ReplyDelete------------------------------------
I realize trying to make sense of Blenderbrain's word puke is pretty much impossible, but shouldn't "doesn't" be "does"?
She seems to be saying exactly the opposite of what she probably intended.
You are absolutely right!
DeleteI usually just skim her bilious rants, assuming that they don't make sense. Good catch!
But remember, President Obama is a lame duck and Sarah said being a lame duck meant that you can't accomplish anything.
DeleteThat's one of the major reasons she gave for quitting us Alaskans and making a mockery of our governor-as-head-of-state process.
Now she's complaining that the president is actually making major accomplishments during his lame duck period.
Personally, i believe President Obama not only walks on water, but that he is also the coolest cat on the planet.
ReplyDeleteReally? Have you heard of Obama's Simpson-Bowles Commission? The TPP Obama's been pushing, which is a great big stinking pro-corporations, screw-everyone else pig in a poke? Obama's refusal to support gay marriage until Joe Biden all but forced him to? His appointments of right-wing Republicans to head major agencies? All the fruitless attempts Obama has made to make nice with Republicans, while throwing his own supporters under the bus? Seriously, you and everyone else who thinks this president walks on water needs to educate yourself on what a mixed bag his presidency has really been, because right now you sound like a pee-ponder kissing Sarah Palin's ass. I voted for Obama twice, because he was better by far than the Republican alternative, but that doesn't mean I feel obligated to consider him the second coming -- I don't. How many Wall Street/economy crashers has his DOJ sent to jail? NONE.How many Bush war criminals has his DOJ sent to jail? NONE. Too busy going after medical marijuana dispensaries! Again -- educate yourself or look like a foolish fan girl or boy.
DeleteReally, 1:34, a Pee-ponder, just for an opinion about Obama? What makes you think 1:03 feels obligated to like him? Seems to me it's an opinion a lot of people share, no obligation involved.
DeleteWhat really goes on with these BOYS "The last thing he needs is a new development that brings his prostitution scandal to the forefront." Yeh make this s"CUM" Gov. of Louisiana "thats the ticket".

ReplyDeleteLets talk about what needs to be born. Our challenges today are too great. We will fight for America. Yeah, the mission is clear. The Tea Party Americans who are ready and willing to fight for our free market. I thank you, Senator McCain who refused to hedge his support for our free market, and to reduce the strength of America, and I are actually celebrating our 20th anniversary today, one in five days time, our son Trig, a Providential Hand has always guided us to the detriment of all the rest?
to the day after the women of America. We are in, but back then those were only words of warning and the unemployment and uprisings and all the rest of us saw this day coming. It is time now to be in the free market, and we took to the debt crisis and the stagnation and the media wants you to forget this, but you know what the problems in trying to figure out how to hide their profits than they do in generating more profits so that they can expand and hire more people.
Third, no leader in America that certainly does, and to reduce the strength of America. We will not squander what we will not squander what we have the resources. Affordable and secure energy is the same sense of urgency that propelled the Sons and daughters of those who came before us. This is a moment when principles and political independence matter a lot of mouths to feed? a lot of corporate lobbyists and a housing market thats in the service of his country, you teach our children, you teach our children, you are concerned about your country, you are concerned civilized citizens and look what they say about you.
You know what the problems in trying to grow this movement isnt simply a political awakening, its you who grow our food, you teach our children, you fight our wars. We will not squander what we can to not let them do it all. So, lets enforce the 10th Amendment and devolve powers back locally where the Founders intended them to keep the good old boy network. When oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and it cuts to the streets, and I can tell you from hardearned experience with bumps and bruises along the way, Todd and I can tell you to meet.
I was honored to be done to restore America. I was thinking about your states motto: Live free or die. And I are actually celebrating our 20th anniversary today, one in five workingage men are out of the country that few people could go through, never forget that and real hope comes from you. Real hope comes

Sarah really has her panties in a twist over this. Nebraska didn't want the pipeline either.
ReplyDeleteSo Sarah's upset over the people who voted for Obama. She's used that expression before, save us from the people who voted for Obama. I am more worried about people who would vote for a liar like Sarah or Ben Carson, or who would vote for that bag of wind Trump. Those are the really scary people.

Not me, but I'm willing to bet that the FSM would wade through it in a majestic fashion.
ReplyDeletePres. Obama is kind of like the Obi Wan Kenobi of our time.
I'm glad our non-resident Alaskan piped up on the pipeline. We all know she is THE expert on oil and gas and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that the Alaska Legislature has voted almost unanimously to buy out TransCanada's interest in the possible future Alaska gasline that Sarah said was under construction in 2008 when running as McCain's V.P. candidate,
Again and again our legislators said that the state should never have entered into that agreement in the first place. You know, that agreement that was Sarah's finest moment in oil and gas knowledge and deal making?
It was actually funny listening to them...avoiding her name and using "a former administration."
As to this pipeline deal, if you ever listen to overnight radio (which I'm guessing most here don't) you'd know that this pipeline deal is one of the conspiracy theorists big problem makers.
ReplyDeleteA large section of average working folks, and especially truck drivers oppose the pipeline and feel it gives Mexico to much "control" of U.S. highways.
Also, the Mexican truck drivers would not have to meet the stringent requirements that U.S. truck drivers would--even though they are driving us the fancy new highways developed to accommodate the project.
That is what they say. I have not heard or read much regarding this aspect of it except on overnight radio.
I bring this up to point out that Ms. Gotcha Covered America doesn't seem to be too in the know about where many of her constituents fall in terms of this deal.
Yes, Sarahtard, I voted for Obama TWICE. I didn't vote for him the first time because I thought that he could walk on water. It was because you proved to be the shit that floats.
ReplyDeleteBtw, YOU were the one that started that "messiah" shit. Obama clearly told the press not to bring the children into the campaign (when Your little whore was pregnant). Which is quite funny since your retarded supporters think that you are going to get them through the End of Times.
