President Obama Is Pumping Oil And Approving Pipelines With His Speech In Cushing, OK

President Obama went to Cushing, Oklahoma yesterday to promote his oil pumping administration and approve the Keystone pipeline. The President told the crowd, “Anybody who suggests that we’re, somehow, we’re suppressing domestic oil production isn’t paying attention. Anyone who says that just drilling more will bring gas prices down also isn’t paying attention; they’re not playing it straight. We are drilling more. We are producing more. But the fact is, producing more oil at home isn’t enough by itself to bring gas prices down overnight.” Speaking on the Keystone pipeline the President said, “Today I’m directing my administration to cut through the red tape, break through the bureaucratic hurdles, and make this project a priority.” They don’t need Presidential approval for the southern part of the pipeline. Only the part that crosses international borders needs presidential approval. They build pipelines all the time without his approval.
