FOX: Roger Stone on Obama playing politics with Gas Prices

Obama's Keystone XL Pipeline Decision: Politics or Policy

The video focuses on President Obama's decision to expedite the construction of the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline, a move that has generated significant debate. Initially, Obama opposed the construction, but his recent directive to prioritize the project has raised questions about the motives behind this reversal. Political panelists Joe Trippie, John Christopher Buett, and Roger Stone discuss the implications of this decision. They examine whether this move is a response to political pressure, given the high gas prices and Obama's sagging poll numbers, or a genuine policy shift. The panel also delves into the broader impact of this decision on domestic oil exploration, the environmental considerations, and the political consequences for Obama, particularly with regard to the independent voters crucial for his reelection. The discussion underscores the complex interplay between environmental policies, energy dependence, and political strategy in the context of a presidential election year.
