Democrats Also Forget About Small Businesses Struggling With Prices at the Pump
Obama Administration Continues to Stifle Energy Production Efforts in Order to Please Anti-Energy Activist Donors


President Obama Is Stifling Energy Production Efforts To Keep Wealthy Anti-Energy Donors From Fleeing In 2012:

“Democrats outside the West Wing and Chicago-based campaign say the politics were clear: With the exceptions of the grousing unions (who will have no choice but to support him in 2012), the party’s donor base, environmental advocates down to their hybrid SUVs oppose the pipeline.” (Glenn Thrush and Darren Samuelsohn, “Keystone decision a political win-win,” Politico, 1/18/12)

Small Businesses Cannot Cope With The Democrat Status Quo On Energy In Washington, Which Prevents Them From Growing And Creating Jobs:

“Smith isn’t alone, as soaring fuel prices have left many entrepreneurs and business owners like him facing the same troubling dilemma: Pass on the rising gas prices to customers and risk losing their business or absorb the costs and sacrifice profit margins? Neither option, he said, leaves a clear path for growth.

“‘If policymakers in Washington do not begin to embrace new energy policies, I believe you will begin to see an increase in small business failures,’ Smith said. ‘Meeting obligations such as payroll, energy consumption and other overhead expenses with diminishing profits becomes unsustainable.'” (J.D. Harrison, “Rising gas prices crippling small businesses on a variety of levels,” The Washington Post‘s On Small Business Blog, 5/10/12)
