Oil always peaks out in the summer. And that is cheap compared to the rest of the world...If the pipeline was built, are they going to go poof and it is there? It is going to take several years to get it built and inspected before it is even ready to have oil flow through it, It takes about a year for oil to process from crude to gas, so even if they started today, it would probably be a decade before you say any effect on the prices of gas. Most of our gas comes from oil purchased via the commodities trade and comes from foreign sources..
I the republicans didn't block the bills for those shovel ready jobs, they would be there. Despite all of that he was able to staunch the hemorrhaging of jobs the economy saw under Bush and get the numbers moving in a positive direction. Unemployment went down to 8% BTW...

Oil is expected to hit $4.00 a gallon this summer. If a pipeline were being built and future supplies were guaranteed the value would not rise so high. As for jobs, hasn't Obama been the jobs president? Shovel ready and all that? Now there are real jobs and he says no because people will be better off collecting unemployment. These jobs won't solve the 9% unemployment disaster but will be a start in the right direction. Hell, start drilling in the gulf if you really wanted to put people to work. > Also, I know you will find this hard to believe, but it is possible to > agree or disagree with someone on an issue regardless of their > political party. I do believe.

Yada yada yada. I defend Republicans so I'm a mindless lemming brainwashed by Fox and Rush. Why are you so predictable and 95% of your attacks are against anything Republican. That's what's truly sad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:345574 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
