President Obama, Ugly American? 

President Obama, while meeting in Myanmar, which consumes a total of about 45,000 barrels of oil per day and is working to produce and consume more energy to lift its millions out of poverty, trash talks the Keystone XL, which would deliver about 800,000 barrels of oil per day to the US.

In his speech, President Obama stated:

“Understand what this project is: It is providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the Gulf [Coast], where it will be sold everywhere else. It doesn’t have an impact on U.S. gas prices.”

Is this what the modern intelligentsia…the smart people…the sensitive people…look like?  He looks much more like the proverbial “Ugly American.” Clueless.
