I heard about this on a talk radio program but the fact is that it's old news. The American Thinker blog posted on it over a month ago. Here is
a link to the article.It seems that recently (within the last year) Buffett bought himself a railroad called BNSF. This particular railroad runs north and south, border to border. Why do you suppose he did this?
Well, it seems that there are only two ways to move large amounts of oil inland: By pipeline (if you have one) or by rail.
Now we all know that the Bamster has been staying awake at night, expending a great deal of time and brain power to determine whether or not to allow the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline that would shuttle oil from Canada and North Dakota to the refineries in the south. Last week we found out that the Dingus just couldn't decide what to do. This is the presidential version of voting "present." But it's also a way to not agree to a pipeline...not until after the 2012 election, anyway. After that he can tell us that he has decided that the pipeline is just too darned dangerous to the environment and that he is saying "no." That is, if he gets re-elected.
But in the meantime any oil we get from the region must be sent to the refineries via the BNSF owned now by O'Bama BFF and serial Democrat campaign contributor Warren Buffett. Surprise! Sure is nice to have corrupt friends in the WH.
So...
Buffett gets to make millions (if not billions) transporting oil with his new train set.
O'Bama gets millions in shiny new campaign contributions.
The citizens get to over pay (again) for gas at the pump and as an added bonus see a portion of their fuel dollars go directly to the Democrats.
And they all lived happily ever after.
