A SPECIAL KIND OF LEADER

I think we heard it on npr…
Yes, we do listen daily….

Billings [I think it is Billings], Montana is enjoying a boom time…
Whatever, it is a town in Montana.

Unemployment rate is ca. 5%.

There is a shortage of folks to fill many available jobs.
Construction is up.
There is enough money in the city coffers to not only keep the library running full time, but to build one.
We have just reduced our library availability by one day a week.

And the rosy story continued.
In short, ecomonmic times are good in Billings.

The reason: an oil boom.

The petroleum industry is once again the black gold of the West.

And as noted earlier, b.o. dithers for reasons of election politics on the matter of the Canadian oil pipeline to the US.

Again, the pipeline will be built, if not to the US then to the west coast, thence to Asia.

In all likelihood, it will be built to the US, but not until after the 2012 election when b.o. can afford to enrage his green constituency.

In the meantime, jobs and national security considerations are deferred in a most transparent way for the most transparent of reasons.

Yes, b.o. is a special kind of leader..
What a piece of work!!!
