Any liberal who opposes this pipeline, including our dear leader, should be riding a horse and buggy.

Why don’t the Canadians run the pipe west and ship to Japan and China?

If they let illegal aliens build it I’m sure our dear leader would approve. Republicans should make this job killer campaign issue not Amnesty Light.

He perceives the Keystone Pipeline to be a real danger to the climate.

Nope, he knows better. But empowering the dynamic US oil industry is not what he wants. He hates their independence and he hates Texas for the same reason. He want to destroy the US. Has from since before he was a Senator. He is the Trojan Horse on steroids. And a Fascist/Communist subversive.

Obama is caught in a trap. If he doesn't approve the Pipeline he pisses of the Unions. If he does, he pisses of the Environmentalists.

If it were a Republican President doing this the press would say the Pipeline was a "Wedge" issue as it would split their base.

But because it is a (Liberal/Progressive) Democrat, they hold their fire.

Watch the Democrats squirm more and more as their policies come home to roost.

"if it does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution,"

There is his out. Pumping the oil TO refineries in Texas and Oklahoma does nothing to "exacerbate" but just having it refined and used does. He will do everything in his power to make sure it never gets there and instead to reward his benefactors in China who eventually will.

He wants the Chinese to gain profit from refining it and then transporting it all back here as just another means to take us down just one more notch. It has always been about damaging this country and has nothing to do with the environment. Case in point; It is just fin to be killing protected eagles and other winged creatures to advance his super expensive wind energy loser. All the while, the air in China is actually worse than all of the cartoons that the environmentalists want you to believe is happening here.

Why would any non-Indonesian object to a simple pipeline
that delivers jobs and energy and hope?

I have no doubt Obama has no love for Texas or Oklahoma.

As for his ideology on climate change, I think he really believes the things he says. Couple that with the face that he despises the oil and gas industry and you have a President who fights our energy independence at every turn. If it destroys our country, then all the more better.

If you were Canada, why would you want it to lose money to send it to China when all you have to do is ship it across the border?

An even better question for Canada, considering how long it has taken for this one issue, is why not commission the construction of refineries there? I’m sure they would have if they knew this SOB was going to nickel and dime them along the whole way beforehand but this Administration has been carrying that carrot on it’s stick the whole way. Kinda like that State Farm commercial with the fisherman dangling that dollar bill on the fishing line.

I am saying that Canada should do their own thing and stop waiting for Obama. Japan and China should offer a good price, would they not?

There is no way to measure the carbon pollution that will not exist any way.

There is no carbon pollution.

The real danger is continued Obama pollution.

They are trying to regulate an end to shipping of oil over the oceans already. Usually, shipping of any material considered hazardous is the responsibility of the shipping originator.

Here is one that will flabbergast you, anyone who contracts the transportation of biomedical waste (doctors offices and hospitals) to an approved bio-med waste disposal facility, is legally responsible for any mishap along the way to that disposal facility, even in the event of the vehicle, for no fault of its own, is involved in any accident. The originator has to pay for the transportation, cleanup and all legal consequences.

Obama is in essence, “closing the George Washington bridge” to punish the good folks of Oklahoma and Texas by not building the pipeline.

The next president's first act on taking office should be to rescind all Obama executive orders. The second act should be to approve Keystone.

Probably has nothing to do with his buddies who own the railroads that move the oil across the US.

It’s not about the environment (although the EPA is the tool of choice in this fight). It’s about tying up our natural resources so we can’t compete with zero’s enablers/puppeteers. That, and so much more to progress the agenda to kill this country. We are already slaves, most of us just haven’t or can’t see the chains yet....
