CUSHING, Okla. -- The President is scheduled to speak in Payne County this Thursday morning. It may be rural Oklahoma, but when it comes to pipelines, it's the Capitol. The President is expected to talk about energy, though many in that industry are not impressed.

 

They are even planning to protest his visit, calling it a political ploy more than a genuine interest.

Mike Cantrell with the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance says, "For the last three years he's been anti-fossil fuels."

Mickey Thompson, an energy industry expert and political analyst, says, "He calls our industry an industry of the past and they'd like us to go away."

The President is expected to mention his support for a pipeline running from Payne County to the gulf; it's the southern end of the “Keystone XL Pipeline.”

 

It's unclear how much of Thursday's protest will be witnessed by President Obama.

The event isn't open to the public or the protesters.

Why should he care about these rubes? I bet they've never done any community organizing.

As long as it doesn't carry any oil.

So I was reading about the HUGE boom in rail traffic from Canada to the Gulf going on. Adds about $10 to cost of barrel, is not green, risks killing people, pollutes, etc. but it has to be better than a pipeline.

Somehow Warren Buffett is profiting from the use of rail that he owns. Pays to be a FOB. (Friend of Barack)
