Canada: If Obama Doesn't Want Our Oil We'll Just Sell It to Someone Else

Obama is getting what he wanted - a U.S. even more dependent on oil from troubled parts of the world:
President Barack Obama’s decision yesterday to reject a permit for TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL oil pipeline may prompt Canada to turn to China for oil exports.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in a telephone call yesterday, told Obama “Canada will continue to work to diversify its energy exports,” according to details provided by Harper’s office. Canadian Natural Resource Minister Joe Oliver said relying less on the U.S. would help strengthen the country’s “financial security.”

The “decision by the Obama administration underlines the importance of diversifying and expanding our markets, including the growing Asian market,” Oliver told reporters in Ottawa.

Currently, 99 percent of Canada’s crude exports go to the U.S., a figure that Harper wants to reduce in his bid to make Canada a “superpower” in global energy markets.
Obama told the Canadians they could "reapply" to send their oil to us via a different route. Apparently they've decided to route our oil through China.

Well done, Barry, you idiot.

Obama sells oil industry jobs like the Soup NAZI sells soup: "No pipeline for you!"
