And he\u2019s put off a decision on the Keystone pipeline as a campaign issue for campaign reasons. His base does not want increased oil or natural gas reserves in this country. They don\u2019t want more fossil fuels. Therefore, there will be no pipeline built from Canada down to the Gulf to handle delivery. Yet Obama runs around, he says we\u2019ve gotta break our dependence on foreign oil, meaning particularly Middle Eastern oil. Canada\u2019s an ally, and Canada\u2019s our number one source for oil. I think Mexico\u2019s two, Saudi Arabia\u2019s three, somewhere in there. But the point is, what\u2019s good for America is bad for Obama and his reelection. What\u2019s good for America, bad for the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" align=\"right\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M8pCHRWzi8w\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>Obama has to oppose this so his base doesn\u2019t have a conniption fit and abandon him on Election Day. My guess is that if the pipeline\u2019s still there to be authorized he\u2019ll do it if he gets reelected. However, it may not be there. &#8220;Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he will step up efforts to supply energy to Asia after Washington delayed a decision on whether to approve a new oil pipeline from Canada to the United States. In a subtle warning to Washington, Harper told Chinese President Hu Jintao that providing energy to Asia was an important priority for Canada.&#8221; Nothing subtle about that, folks. It\u2019s about as subtle as oil rigs moving out of the Gulf of Mexico after Obama put on his illegal moratorium.<\/p>\n<p>Harper told reporters on Sunday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders\u2019 meeting in Hawaii, &#8216;This does underscore the necessity of Canada making sure that we are able to access Asia markets for our energy products.'&#8221; If the United States isn\u2019t interested, we\u2019re gonna find another market that is. And Reuters is calling these remarks subtle. Nothing subtle about this. It\u2019s also clear Harper knows what this delay really means. It means the pipeline will never happen during an Obama regime. That\u2019s what he knows, and therefore he\u2019s gotta find another market for the oil in Canada since the United States has made it plain that we don\u2019t want it. We don\u2019t want the oil, and we don\u2019t want the additional 20,000 jobs to start and the potential 400,000 jobs that could come down the road with this construction of the pipeline. We don\u2019t want that. Obama\u2019s not telling us the truth. He\u2019s not about creating jobs. Not in the private sector. That\u2019s just lip service. He wants you to think that\u2019s his area of interest, but it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Grab audio sound bite number seven. This is Barack Obama on Saturday in Honolulu, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Summit. You got the Boeing chairman, president\/CEO James McNerney interviewing Obama. He said, &#8220;One question, looking at the world from the Chinese side, is what they would characterize as impediments to investment in the United States. And so that discussion I\u2019m sure will be part of whatever dialogue you have. And so how are you thinking about that?&#8221;<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_56251\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaGolfing.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>OBAMA: We\u2019ve been a little bit lazy I think over the last couple of decades. We\u2019ve kind of taken it for granted, well, people will want to come here and we aren\u2019t out there hungry selling America and trying to attract new businesses into America.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Who is &#8220;we&#8221;? Once again, the president of the United States insults the people who make this country work. What has and hasn\u2019t happened to make these mystery people lazy? Who is it that\u2019s lazy? Who is it that\u2019s not trying to attract business to America? Who is it that\u2019s just expecting, taking for granted that people are gonna come here? We aren\u2019t out there hungry, selling America. No, we\u2019re not, because you, sir, are out there apologizing for us at every turn. We were trying to attract oil. We were trying to attract the business via the pipeline, the Keystone pipeline, sir, that you stand in the way of. Who\u2019s Obama talking about here?<\/p>\n<p>Boeing denied setting up a plant in North Carolina because of laziness? Is that why your NLRB told Boeing they couldn\u2019t set up a plant in South Carolina? Or was it because you wanted to protect union jobs and Boeing\u2019s jobs weren\u2019t union? So is the president talking about American businesses who have something to sell who are trying to stay in business trying to stay one step ahead of the EPA, one step ahead of the IRS, one step ahead of Obama\u2019s war on prosperity? I thought America\u2019s businesses were too greedy all this time. I thought as I listened to President Obama that our problem was greed and selfishness and American businesses wanted all the money for themselves and they weren\u2019t willing to share it and give it to anybody else. I thought that they were making too much money. We need to tell the world about our corporate tax rate, Mr. President, the second highest in the country. That might be a reason why.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the president\u2019s talking about his Commerce Department. If the president is saying that his regime has failed to attract new business, then fine. (interruption) He\u2019s not saying that? Well, then who is he saying is too lazy? (interruption) He can\u2019t mean that, Mr. Snerdley, because he has said they\u2019re greedy. The American business community is too greedy and too selfish and they have more than what they need anyway, so it can\u2019t be American business that he\u2019s accusing here of being too lazy. Maybe he\u2019s talking about himself, that\u2019s who\u2019s lazy. I don\u2019t know who or what he\u2019s talking about saying we have gotten too lazy to attract new businesses to America? We\u2019re just sitting around thinking it\u2019s going to happen? He doesn\u2019t understand that businesses become targets in this country. He doesn\u2019t understand that they become suspects. I tell you, <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=17396\">Rick Perry<\/a> may lose his train of thought now and then, but it\u2019s obvious to me Barack Obama doesn\u2019t know what the hell he\u2019s talking about from the get-go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Obama has put off a decision that would create tens of thousands of American jobs, the Keystone pipeline.
