I agree...I voted for him, but one thing I did not like was his decision on the pipeline from Canada...

@couchpotato: that was one of his sensible decisions...

@WoodyAq: really? Why do you say that?

@couchpotato: because it gives US access to NA energy from democratic allies instead of supporting oil from US' enemies, and by a method that is safer and more environmentally friendly than the way it is currently traveling... ? Seems pretty obvious to me.

@WoodyAq: but isn't that pipeline going down to the the gulf to export?

@couchpotato: Maybe, maybe not. Oil is fungible ... what is used is indistinguishable from what is exported. If the US refines Canadian oil and uses it, and then exports oil produced in the US that it doesn't need as a result, and makes more from the export that it costs for the import, doesn't that make America wealthier?
