REPORT: State Department (Read, Obama) To Reject The Keystone Pipeline
Business Insider ^ | 01/18/12 | Mamta Badkar

Posted on 01/18/2012 9:11:26 AM PST by MissesBush

The Obama administration is expected to reject the controversial Keystone Pipeline this afternoon, according to Fox News.

The State Department is expected to vote against the pipeline this afternoon. Transcanada will however be allowed to reapply with an alternate route going through Nebraska.

The administration will be unlikely to approve the pipeline under the timeline for the payroll tax cut extension law which requires a decision by February 21

The project has been extremely controversial for two main reasons. Those in favor of the pipeline point to the 8.5% unemployment rate, and point out that the pipeline could create much-needed high-paying jobs. Moreover, it would provide cash-strapped governments with tax revenues. On the other hand after the BP Deepwater spill of 2010 and ExxonMobil's July 2011 pipeline spill, environmentalists are pressuring the Obama administration to nip the project in the bud.

More to come...

Precisely! He hates America, and he doesn’t much like the American people either.

They both involve high-paying jobs so that is a bad thing.

The average dancing with the stars watching non political junkie idiot American voter is too stupid to know how bad this is for our country as Obama caters to his progressive left base. (we can hope people are awake)

Newt Romney or some gaggle of RINOS (Snowe,Brown,etc)will hold the football and pull it away just as some coalition of Congresscritters in favor of American oil independence goes to kick it for the win.

We’ve seen this show before.

Not to worry. Darryl’s figured out a way to get a 747 to run on banana peels and coyote scat. It’s all good.

Okay, what states are Obama sure to lose as a result of this dopey decision? I’m guessing Ohio and Pennsylvania for starters.

...and how many gazillion miles of pipelines already exist in the US carrying oil, gasoline, NG, solvents and who knows what else? The answer is lots and lots. Obama seems to take joy in not only sticking America in the back but twisting it as well.

EVERY SINGLE DECISION OBAMA MAKES IS INTENDED TO HARM AMERICA.

PERIOD.

I agree, Laz. This guy MUST NOT have another four years in which to completely destroy this country.

The only thing I can’t figure out, is why McCain hasn’t praised Obama for this yet.

Am I slipping for not noticing him do it, or is he for not having done it?
