Washington-The Obama administration has delayed a decision on TransCanada Corp´s rerouted Keystone XL oil pipeline until after March, even though Nebraska´s governor on Tuesday approved a plan for part of the line running through his state. "We don´t anticipate being able to conclude our own review before the end of the first quarter of this year," said Victoria Nuland, a spokeswoman at the State Department, which had previously said it would make a decision by that deadline. She said the department would take into consideration approval of the line by Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman.

"I thought the crossover from Canada to the US was already approved..."

Nope, and that's the rub. I never thought I would see the US refuse 600,000 b/d of friendly oil and 15,000 jobs.

This oil will get to market. The only question is whether the final destination is Texas or China.

The Kenyan (that's by his own admission) does not want Canadian oil. Canada is a very prosperous, very white, democratic country with a relatively conservative government. We have four strikes against us. It's ok, the Chinese aren't so picky.
