Maybe we have a reason for Obama's decision to turn down the Keystone pipeline.

Human Events carries this AP story:  It makes the case that, in lieu of the pipeline,  the oil coming out of North Dakota,  will have to be trucked to the gulf region.  Guess who benefits from this arrangement?  A trucking consortium whose principle owner is Warren Buffet.  

"Those rail shipments are expected to “increase exponentially with increased oil production and the shortage of pipelines,” according to Justin Kringstad, director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority.  That’s going to be quite a windfall for the railroad companies, isn’t it?   As it happens, 75 percent of the oil currently shipped by rail out of North Dakota is handled by Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC… which just happens to be a unit of Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.  What a coincidence!"

And tonight,  during Obama's State of the Campaign speech,  Buffet's much talked about secretary, the one who pays more taxes than her boss,   will join Michelle Obama in the box overlooking the floor of the House.  She has, also,  just joined the Obama Administration.  

One would think these clowns would,  at least,  make some sort of effort not to be so obvious.
