Obama to reject Keystone Pipeline 2

Fuck you Canada. Keep your dirty oil.

Quote:
President Barack Obama suddenly scheduled a press conference for 11:45 a.m. ET Friday.
Though the White House did not reveal what Obama will announce, The Wall Street Journal's Amy Harder reported that the administration will reveal its position on the Keystone XL pipeline.
The State Department, which for years has been reviewing the controversial pipeline project, didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
The White House declined to comment.
If true, the administration's rejection of the Keystone pipeline would not come as a surprise, as Obama vetoed a Republican-backed bill to fastrack the project in February.

Why do we need a jobs bill? Unemployment rates are lower than thy have been in 7 years and Obama has added more jobs than both George Bushes combined

no, the claim is that the unemployment rate is lower, when people arent collecting unemployment they are no longer counted as unemployed
it's also interesting to note, that since he has once more rejected this pipeline, it shows he's all for putting more of those greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, instead of using a little electricity to pump the oil to refineries it will have to travel via the heavy use of fossil fuels, trucks, trains and boats. now there's also a greater risk of ecological damage since these methods of transport arent as secure as a pipeline
so is this a situation where obama is again a hypocryte and trying to destroy the world or is this obama throwing a tantrum because REPUBLICANS

The unemployment rate is calculated by surveying a sample of the population each month. It has nothing to do with people collecting or not collecting unemployment benefits. Educate yourself. You're from Georgia, so I know that's a novel idea.
Quote:
Some people think that to get these figures on unemployment, the government uses the number of people collecting unemployment insurance (UI) benefits under state or federal government programs. But some people are still jobless when their benefits run out, and many more are not eligible at all or delay or never apply for benefits. So, quite clearly, UI information cannot be used as a source for complete information on the number of unemployed.
Other people think that the government counts every unemployed person each month. To do this, every home in the country would have to be contacted—just as in the population census every 10 years. This procedure would cost way too much and take far too long to produce the data. In addition, people would soon grow tired of having a census taker contact them every month, year after year, to ask about job-related activities.
Because unemployment insurance records relate only to people who have applied for such benefits, and since it is impractical to count every unemployed person each month, the government conducts a monthly survey called the Current Population Survey (CPS) to measure the extent of unemployment in the country. The CPS has been conducted in the United States every month since 1940, when it began as a Work Projects Administration program. In 1942, the U.S. Census Bureau took over responsibility for the CPS. The survey has been expanded and modified several times since then. In 1994, for instance, the CPS underwent a major redesign in order to computerize the interview process as well as to obtain more comprehensive and relevant information.
There are about 60,000 eligible households in the sample for this survey. This translates into approximately 110,000 individuals each month, a large sample compared to public opinion surveys, which usually cover fewer than 2,000 people. The CPS sample is selected so as to be representative of the entire population of the United States. In order to select the sample, all of the counties and independent cities in the country first are grouped into approximately 2,000 geographic areas (sampling units). The Census Bureau then designs and selects a sample of about 800 of these geographic areas to represent each state and the District of Columbia. The sample is a state-based design and reflects urban and rural areas, different types of industrial and farming areas, and the major geographic divisions of each state.

canada has a pipeline, in fact the US has a large portion of the keystone pipeline already built, obama is holding up only one leg of this pipeline that's keeping gas prices high, this in turn benefits arab oil interests and of course canadians

It's official. Obama called Trudeau this morning and told him they won't be getting their pipeline.
