13.3 million Americans are currently out of work. Unfortunately, I am beginning to believe the only job Barack Obama is interested in saving is his own.
Lately the President seems more interested in appeasing his left-wing donors than promoting economic recovery. Let’s review.
First, the president cow-towed to the left-wing base of the Democratic Party by blocking access to permits to drill off the Gulf Coast.
Then, the Obama Administration’s National Labor Relations Board blocked Boeing from creating thousands of new jobs in Charleston because his union friends don’t live there and South Carolinians value the right to work.
Now President Obama is bowing to those environmentalists again by blocking development of the Keystone Pipeline. This project would bring over a million barrels of friendly oil from Canada to our country everyday and employ thousands of Americans in the process. The President’s own administration has reported that the Keystone Pipeline does not pose a significant environmental threat. But President Obama is putting off the decision until 2013 – after he gets those important campaign checks from his donors.
President Obama cannot have it both ways. He cannot decry the shrinking middle class and then turn around and block the very jobs that would employ middle class Americans and reinvigorate the national economy.
Because he is choosing to vote “present” on the Keystone Pipeline, over 200 steelworkers who were working on the Keystone Pipeline project will now be laid off the week before Christmas.
That’s 200 jobs lost because the President is choosing extreme environmentalists over the middle class he claims to support. President Obama needs to understand that there are consequences to his actions. When he blocks economic development in favor of his left-wing friends, Americans lose jobs.
This is not leadership. The President cannot continue to advocate for new jobs and economic recovery while blocking private sector initiatives that will actually get Americans back to work and promote an economic recovery.
I need your help to tell the President and Washington Liberals that they are wrong once again. We have a winning fight but it is going to be difficult when we are battling the President, Harry Reid, AND the liberal media. Help me raise the money I need to get out my message of strong conservatism as the way to restore America. Every dollar I raise will go toward proving my ability to fight through another difficult election.
