Are You Smelling What the Barack is Cooking?

We are 3 plus years into the 'Jobs' President and still NO JOBS!  If this Presidency states over and over that their focus is on jobs, does that make it true? No matter your political persuasion the stink of failure on the jobs front is way upwind of where you are.  Are you smelling what the Barack is cooking?

Let's look at the facts:

Does today's announcement that Obama is putting the Keystone pipeline on hold lend any credence to his critics that he is all talk and no bite at least when it comes to jobs? 

Building the pipeline would bring over 700,000 barrels of oil per day and directly create 20,000 truly shovel-ready jobs. The Canadian Energy Research Institute estimates that current pipeline operations and the addition of the Keystone XL pipeline would create 179,000 American jobs by 2035.

Boehner: Pipeline rejection breaks Obama’s jobs promise

House Speaker John Boehner says President Barack Obama is breaking his promise to create jobs by rejecting a plan to build an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas.

Boehner says Republicans will keep fighting for the Keystone XL pipeline because the project is good for the U.S. economy because it would create thousands of jobs.
