Um... what good is half a pipline? (and not even the half that connects to the source of the oil... geez what a dumbass)
Another pipeline from Cushing to the Gulf has been needed for years. It's a very worthwhile project. I doubt Obama had anything to do with the decision, however.
Google "Cushing bottleneck" if you're interested in the background.
It has great strategic value with voters who aren't paying attention or only get their news from the MSM.
Just as he now takes credit for 'increased domestic oil production' that are not the result of HIS oil-suppressing policies, he'll be able talk creating jobs and helping to boost the supply of oil from friendly countries rather than the dangerous middle east.
Simply put, he's going after every last inattentive voter with half-truths and chicanery.
