Carney on Keystone: ‘We Haven’t Rejected Anything’

About Us Resources Carney on Keystone: ‘We Haven’t Rejected Anything’ By Matt Cover August 24, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – White House Spokesman Jay Carney said that the Obama administration had not “rejected” the Keystone pipeline, despite the fact that the president did, in fact, cancel the project after congressional Republicans forced him to make a decision.

“First of all, the Keystone Pipeline is a process. We haven’t rejected anything,” Carney told reporters Thursday.

Carney had been asked by ABC News’ Jake Tapper why the White House used the term ‘all-of-the-above’ to describe its energy policy when it had rejected Republican ideas like Keystone.

“It’s a process that is underway at the State Department that was delayed because – for two reasons – one because of concern by folks in Nebraska including the Republican governor about the original proposed route and then because of Congress’ [and] House Republicans’ insistence on including it as part of the payroll tax cut extension,” Carney continued.

However, the White House did reject the Keystone Pipeline in January, formally denying the application of TransCanada – the company hoping to build the pipeline – to begin work on the project. Federal permission was needed because the pipeline crossed national boundaries – running from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.

Eight months of unnecessary delay is the same as rejection.

There’s a HUGE gulf between “It’s a process” (D) and welding steel (R).

They enjoy lying, just to show they can get away with it. It’s not like the fawning media is going to get up from their kneepads long enough to call them on it.

The only thing Obama and his entire administration do is HABITUALLY LIE to the American people. They are all following their father = see John 8:44.

Yeah, they’re relying on the environmental wacko army of lawyers to stall the pipeline in the courts for years.

The FACT that their MANY LIES are NOT exposed by the media is one of the most shocking developments in the history of this nation. They simply form the *narrative* to fit their agenda.
(And Obama thinks his biggest mistake is that he needed to give us MORE *narrative?*)

The way the majority of the media comports itself is only ONE result of our pop culture...which has arisen from a people who have put God and His Wisdom on the back burner for FAR too long.

Keep praying for our nation.
