Is that the one where he went to Harry Reid last week and told him to get the votes to stop construction? Just checking.
A “flyover” state; he should have kept going till he reached a better audience: California. To think this president is so stupid as to think most people in Oklahoma give two shits, speaks volumes.
The president’s point in Cushing is that while he won’t allow the top of the pipeline to go where the oil is, he has chosen not to block pipeline expansions at the southern end. This, of course, makes folks in the energy business furious. To have the president demanding credit for not blocking domestic pipeline upgrades is galling to them. They need executive blessing to cross the international border with Canada, but for domestic jobs they mostly just need Obama not to interfere and allow the permitting process to work as in the past.
