POWER FAILURE: Obama Urges Democrats to Reject Keystone Pipeline Jobs & Energy Again
President Obama Continues to Call for All-the-Above Energy Policy While Rejecting Shovel-Ready Opportunities for Energy Independence
In His Campaign Speeches, President Obama Is Still Claiming That His Administration Promotes All-The-Above Energy Policies:
“President Obama on Wednesday proposed sweetened tax incentives and subsidies to spur the market for alternative-power cars and trucks, promoting his ‘all of the above’ energy strategy while warning against other politicians’ ‘quick fixes’ to the latest spike in gasoline prices.” (Jackie Calmes, “President Pushes to Add More Credits for Hybrids,” The New York Times, 3/8/12)
But Obama Is Quietly Lobbying Congressional Democrats To Continue Opposing Common-Sense Shovel-Ready Projects Like The Keystone XL Pipeline:
“President Barack Obama is intervening in a Senate fight over the Keystone XL oil pipeline and personally lobbying Democrats to reject an amendment calling for its construction, according to several sources familiar with the talks.” (Manu Raju, “Obama lobbying Dems over Keystone XL pipeline,” Politico, 3/7/12)
