"One of the defining characteristics of politicians is a penchant for saying dumb things when they think it might make them more popular and win some votes"
A quote from the National Post referring to Obama's talk of "dirty oil" from the Alberta Oil Sands. As a worker on the Oil Sands, I find it unbelieveable that anyone would want to put it to a close. Obamas talk of Americans being handcuffed because of their dependibility on "foreign oil". Canada is Americas largest supplier of oil.The biggest alternative sources are Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iraq, Algeria, Angola and Russia. So wherer is he looking to get oil from? Maybe Mexico, though reliability is an issue, as its oil is running out. I really cant see any actually moves being made, seems like talk "we should do something", although i doubt anything will actually will be done (I cant see how he could afford to do anything but talk).
Any thoughts or insights on this issue?
