Letter: What Warren wants, Obama does

Did you ever wonder why Obama keeps vetoing the Keystone Pipeline?

Warren Buffet is the answer. He owns the BNSF rail lines that delivers oil from Canada to the United States. His parent company of Berkshire Hathaway stated that BNSF transports 500,000 barrels of oil a day to the lower 48 states, which equates to about 10 percent of the oil produced in the U.S.

It costs $3 more per barrel to ship it via rail than it would by a pipeline. That is a smart profit for Mr. Buffet of about $2 million a year. Guess who is a huge supporter of Obama and has contributed large sums of money to get him elected? If you guessed Warren Buffet you hit the nail on the head.

Next time you think your government is working for you, look up cronyism and lying in the dictionary.
