Venezuela is led by a murderous, despotic Marxist who is bosom buddies with one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a physical midget who seeks to build a nuclear bomb for the sole purpose of blasting Israel off the map.
Oil from that banana republic, nay, rogue state, is extremely heavy on carbon emissions – if one is so inclined as to believe the nonsense of “greenhouse gases” and “man-made global warming”.
US President Barack Obama once famously promised an American nation hanging on to each and every word flowing from his lips that he would end America’s dependence on oil from rogue nations, such as any country in the Middle East and, of course, Venezuela. The latter, in particular, was in the sights of the president. Being a left-winger, Obama believes in the new age religion (not science) of “man-made global warming”, so the heavy Venezuelan oil would have been an immediate target.
Wrong. A bit more than three years into his first (and most likely, only) term, Obama has blatantly broken almost every promise ever made. Ironically, the promises he all broke are the ones he made specifically to cater to his left-wing support base – pro-Islamists and labour unions. As a result, Guantanamo is still very much open for business, and jobs are in ever shorter supply.
The Keystone pipeline delivering Alberta oil to the US, which Obama just rejected again, would have created tens of thousands of jobs and gotten America closer to weaning itself off “bad” oil (especially oil from Venezuela). Thanks to Obama’s decision, however, no American jobs will be created, environmentally harmful oil will continue to be pumped in from a rogue nation whose leader, Hugo Chavez, is openly conspiring with an Islamist terrorist and Israel-hater to cause death and destruction to the US and the West in general, and it has driven a wedge between America and its next-door neighbour, Canada, a country that Americans will come to rely on more and more in future for goods, services and jobs, while their own country is becoming a third-world country thanks to the flawed ideological choices made by Obama and his fellow Democrats.
An editorial in the Washington Post has called Obama’s decision “insane“, and even left-leaning CNN calls it a big mistake. What Obama has done goes against anything that is deemed common sense from an American perspective, regardless of whether one favours the right or the left. In fact, Obama’s action is nothing if not anti-American.
Many of Obama’s actions throughout his first term can be described as anti-American and anti-West. From his repeated kowtowing to Islamist nations while simultaneously flagellating America to his dealing an ailing economy fatal blow after fatal blow. Maybe it was his upbringing in Indonesia as a child that inculcated him with a (subconscious) loathing for America and Western civilization.
For someone so concerned about keeping his own job, rather than protecting and creating jobs for all Americans, Obama has a strange way of going about achieving that goal of his. All he’s doing is ensuring that virtually any Republican candidate looks positively competent by comparison (that is, except for Ron Paul).
