I can only assume that Obama is trying to smother this project because the project would benefit the United States. I really believe it’s as simple as that. Obama doesn’t give two range-fed figs about the miniscule number of green shirts who oppose Keystone for “environmental” reasons. Demographically, they’re politically irrelevant to him. His raison d’etre is damaging America on as many different levels as possible.
That’s a very real possibility, he’s already totally screwed up our foreign policy and much of our military.
