Of all the Obambi dictatorial policies, why is this so important...especially with shale fracking and the lower oil prices? Why is this number one on Pubbie’s list?

IMHO, it's a quicker, and cheaper, way to get the crude to the gulf coast refineries. Similar to the Alaska Pipeline, only further south.

1. The Pubbies aren't running the Senate yet. Consequently, XL was #1 on Harry Reid's list -- in order to help out the distressed Mz. Landrieu.

2. As a consumer, would you prefer not quite enough oil or a little bit too much oil?
