Soros & Buffett to profit off Obama Keystone veto.
Obama vetoed a massive oil pipeline expansion to deliver Canadian and North Dakota oil into the interior of the US. The veto cost untold tens of thousands of US jobs and will guarantee the current levels of US oil dependency on Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
Even liberal publications like the Washington Post and TIME magazine are attacking Obama for this reckless kick in the groin to the US workers.
Recently the Resources Minister of Canada fingered far-left Billionaire Obama backer George Soros as responsible for the veto.
Now Investor’s Business Daily explains how two left-wing Billionaires, George Soros and Warren Buffet, both will profit from Obama shocking and reckless veto.
From Investor’s Business Daily…
Killing the Keystone XL pipeline may help one of the world’s richest men get richer. North Dakota’s booming oil fields will now grow more dependent on a railroad the president’s economic guru just bought.
Stop us if you see a pattern here. About the time George Soros — Hungarian billionaire and key donor to leftist groups and the Democratic Party — invested heavily in the stock of the state-run Brazilian oil company Petrobras, President Obama was curbing U.S. offshore oil production and the U.S. Export-Import Bank announced a $2 billion loan to Petrobras to finance deep-water drilling off the pristine beaches of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
As he was imposing curbs and moratoria on U.S. offshore drillers, President Obama wished the Brazilians well in the hope we would someday be Brazil’s best oil customer.
Apparently, oil tankers coming from Brazil are better and safer than a pipeline from Canada, whose best customer we will not be if they ship their tar sands oil to China instead.
Interestingly, another billionaire, Obama economic inspiration Warren Buffett, stands to benefit from the Keystone XL pipeline delay.
As oil production ramps up in the Bakken fields of North Dakota, plans to use the pipeline to transport it have been dashed.
As a result, North Dakota’s booming oil producers will have to rely even more on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad, which Buffett just bought, to ship it to refineries.
Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has agreed to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe in a deal valuing the railroad at $34 billion. Berkshire Hathaway already owns about 22% of Burlington Northern, and will pay $100 a share in cash and stock for the rest of the company.
