OFA Refuses To Push On Keystone
Ok, about the sarcasm, but know that when we're exporting something like 60% of the oil that's produced (as was the case in 2012), "not enough refineries" isn't the cause of high oil prices.

OFA Refuses To Push On Keystone
The United States is currently a net EXPORTER of gasoline.
In September, the U.S. exported 430,000 more barrels of gasoline than it imported. The country is now on track to become a net exporter of refined oil products for the first time in 62 years.
Meanwhile, domestic prices at the gas pump are poised to rise to record levels.
Because of the nature of the global oil market and domestic supply, the Keystone pipeline does NOT contribute to U.S. energy independence.

OFA Refuses To Push On Keystone
The reason we stopped drilling in the U.S. was because it didn't pay to do it. Foreign oil was so cheap and the cost of extracting the oil in the U.S. wasn't worth it. When that changes, when we drill again in the U.S., the cost of oil isn't going to go down, but rather it will go UP. While the average American believes that the price is too high, in fact worldwide it's considered cheap.
There are many "practical alternatives", sustainable clean energy, that must be adopted for the sake of our lives and civilization on the planet, but as long as there is money to be squeezed out of people these alternatives won't see the light of day. That's because of greedy cray-zy batstards, steeped in denial.

That's not how party politics works. It's top-down, and Obama, very much a tool of corporations, is the one pulling Democratic members of Congress's strings.

Keystone XL Oil Pipeline Exacerbates Climate Change
A new study suggests that permitting more tar sands oil to flow would raise greenhouse gas pollution by the equivalent of nearly 40 million cars and trucks - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=keystone-xl-oil-pipeline-exacerbates-climate-change

Hardly.
When we're down to tar sands, we're talking about a very expensive way to produce oil and the costly effects that the continued use of oil has on the environment more than outweighs any benefits.

Obama Net Worth Between $1.8M And $6.8M, Owes Money On Mortgage On Chicago Home
Gerald Ford was the first ex-president to parlay the presidency into a post-office gold mine, by taking paid seats on corporate boards. The lifetime pension, healthcare, free Secret Service protection and office expenses (as well as income from books) given to former presidents wasn't enough for Ford. Or Reagan. Or Bush. Or Clinton. Or Bush2.

Obama Speaks Of 'Going Bulworth' In Second Term
Want proof of how NOT populist Obama is?
OilBama Disappoints Again:
Top officials from President Barack Obama's campaign arm, which was recently rechristened as Organizing for Action, are working to dampen the passionate grassroots opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, just as the organization launches its campaign against climate change, according to donors and OFA members.
Leaders of the group have on multiple occasions told gatherings of activists and donors that OFA will not pressure the White House on Keystone regardless of its members' interest in the issue. The administration recently pushed back a decision on approving the pipeline to November, December or even 2014. OFA's refusal to press the administration on the controversial Keystone project is reminiscent of its decision not to pressure Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) on gun purchase background checks, despite -- or perhaps because of -- OFA Chairman Jim Messina's close relationship with him. Baucus voted against the president and subsequently announced his retirement.
The reticence worries those who hoped that the Obama campaign's legacy would be a strong, independent grassroots movement that could bring outside pressure on Washington, rather than continuing to act as an arm of the president. Instead of a new organization that will push the White House from a progressive flank, on Keystone, OFA is in effect pushing grassroots activists in the opposite direction.
