Not surprised at all...

It seems that cancelling Keystone did help an Obama backer...

Buffett's Burlington Northern Among Pipeline Winners

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett's Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC is among U.S. and Canadian railroads that stand to benefit from the Obama administration's decision to reject TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL oil pipeline permit.

except Buffet isn't an elected official getting paid for his vote.. nor is he the president of the company and the vice president of the us giving selected war contracts to the company he still has stock in, neither has he put the company he built in his wife's name, become Governor and then given a gov't contract worth millions to his old company that's now in his wife hands..

you have no standing on any of this.. hell you voted for 2 of the men in that list and didn't have single problem with their  direct involvement.. the only time you even pop up on this issue is when it might be Dem related.. unfortunately,  you don't get points here since Buffet's LLC is already shipping oil, so they are already ready to do it... kinda the same reason you gave for Halliburton be on the 'up and up'.. 

in short, none of what the elected officials such as Cheney,McConnell, or Scott did was even a blip on your 'issue' radar,  so what's your point here again?

No Buffett isn't an elected official.  He's a private person who is enriching himself through his political connections. 

So...what are the taxpayer subsidies that will go to subsidize the Keystone oil sands?  I mean, are we subsidizing Canadian companies?

you say that like no (R) private person has ever done the same..  

So...what are the taxpayer subsidies that will go to subsidize the Keystone oil sands?  I mean, are we subsidizing Canadian companies?

why do we have to give $30 billion to Israel?

I guess if we can subsidize them, then we can do the same for Canada..maybe they need it for their security also.. you do know there is an immigration problem right.. HA!

The difference between Buffett and say, the Cock brothers, is that Buffett gives back.

a. I'm glad to see you finally agree the gas companies will get subsidies to pay for the proposed pipeline. If, and when, they build it, let them use their own blood money.

b. I know I've been away for a while, but didn't I already post who was getting the subsidies?
