Money in politics is bad, unless it's used to help Democrats.
What you won't hear about in mainstream media is how Billionaire Tom Steyer drove the decision [to again delay Keystone XL] by promising to spend $100 million to help Democrats in the midterm election who help defeat the project:
Good news on Good Friday: the comment period for #KeystoneXL has been extended. Now @StateDept can address inherent flaws in its past work.
— Tom Steyer (@TomSteyer) April 18, 2014
Depending on how you view money in politics, this is either a bribe or The Chicago Way.
With the decision pushed back probably past the election, this allows the Democrats to be for or against the decision depending on their election chances and how badly they need Steyer's support. Given that a majority of Americans want the project to go through, this is good news for vulnerable Democrats.
Pretend you're for it, while secretly being against it. Or, vice versa. But pledge undying fealty to Tom Steyer, and $100 million dollars can be yours for the asking.
Harry Reid was unavailable for comment, being too busy demagoging the Koch Brothers and all.
Meanwhile, American jobs suffer, and whatever economic impact the project might have had on Russia is ignored for the sake of Obama's political gain.
Everything Obama does is for political gain. Any resemblance between politics
and something which helps Americans is purely coincidental. And definitely
unintentional.
