He had 10 days to either sign it or kill it,and a variety of options. He could hold off on making a decision just like hes waited six years without making up his mind on the pipeline itself, or he could delay until the last minute, then whip out his pen and scratch a big X across the front of the thing, and add a frowny-face next to it, just for added measure. ☹

No surprise. Obama will bow to our enemies and kick our allies in the ass.
Obama always side with what weakens the country and rejects what strengthens it. I can’t recall a single action that didn’t fit that profile.
He has his political machine on the ground helping Beiber Trudeau's campiagn so it stands to reason wee Justin will be the next PM
Sorry, Canada. The US put a jackass in the highest office of the land.
