Mr President? Can you hear me now?
In a previous diary titled "It's GOOD to be the King!" I posited that the President is giving himself one
HELL of a going away party. I am not going to redux the diary here, but it listed several actions he has taken since the mid terms with the specific result of making RWNJ heads explode like one of those carnival shoot the water into the balloon games. This has got to be the friskiest lame duck I've ever seen in my life! But we're missing one especially juicy piece of low hanging fruit.
Excuse me Mr. President, but exactly where are we on the Keystone XL pipeline? Talk about a RWNJ exploding head Hiroshima! It's a shitty deal that would add virtually NO long term jobs in the U.S.. The possibility of an environmental disaster in the U.S. alone invalidates it from serious consideration. And boy! Talk about a feather in your environment friendly chops cap. It's not like you're not trying to do just that right now, tramping through the Arctic wilds and highlighting climate change impact to the coastal towns. Why the continued delay? It's not like your decision can sink either Hillary or Bernie, it's your call. And enlighten me, just HOW much money have the Koch brothers invested in smearing you both professionally and personally over the last 6+ years? You're gonna try to tell me that giving them a sharp stick in the eye, costing them literally billions every year wouldn't really light the good old warm and fuzzies pilot light?
The clock is ticking. Pull the damn trigger, sit back in the Oval office, put your feet up, grab your extra butter popcorn, and enjoy the fireworks. You'll feel better for it, put another stamp on your environmental legacy, and give us another reason to love you.
Thanks as always for reading!
