Obama hangs out the "No Jobs Available" sign on Keystone

From Cliff Thies:

Here's the pipe ready to be laid. 20,000 shovel-ready jobs. Plus, energy independence, (KLTV Texas Channel 7 has the exclusive photos of the pipes):

From Chopper 7, the shear magnitude of what's sitting in this field is clear. This patch of land is leased by TransCanada...and it is filled with 100 miles worth of pipes.

"Well, it's a storage yard. And, it's fairly common and it's prior to construction for large pipeline projects to assemble pipe in one central location and distribute it from there," Jim Prescott, a project representative with Keystone said.

And, that project is the Keystone Pipeline...which is now on hold until further notice due to President Obama's rejection of TransCanada's application.
