Says he doesn’t want to upset powers in D.C. Gov. John Hickenlooper today told a room full of Western gas and oil executives that he hasn’t taken a position on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline because he hasn’t wanted to “piss off” the powers that be in Washington, D.C.
“I’ve avoided taking a position (on the Keystone pipeline) because it’s just going to piss off a lot of people in Washington that I don’t need to piss off, and my opinion is not going to change anybody’s opinion there,” Hickenlooper said
...
Hickenlooper’s opponent, former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez, criticized the governor for a lack of leadership.
In a statement emailed to the Herald, Beauprez said Hickenlooper is “far too concerned with what other people think.”
“Whether it’s Barack Obama, Michael Bloomberg, Jared Polis, ‘large donors’ or now generally ‘people in Washington,’ there’s an endless list of people John Hickenlooper will carry water for, but what Coloradans want to know is this: Where do you stand, and will you stand up for us?” continued Beauprez.
Beauprez referenced the gun-control debate in Colorado last year

Get out, Hick.
When you lead from behind, you get covered with excrement.
HICK is just another in a long line of DemonRat A$$H*LES!He knows that the Keystone would be GREAT for our country(and Canada),but he awaits his”Massah Obongo”to tell him what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Bob can just keep his foot outta his mouth, he can use it to kick John’s butt.

While I’m not in the room when such things are discussed, however, I’m still wondering why the Obama-Warren Buffet connection to all that Canadian oil isn’t exposed more.
Buffet owns BNSF. BNSF, via train, transports that Canadian oil to different parts of the US for refinement. BNSF just put in an order for over 5000 tank cars to transport that oil. I wonder how much of BNSFs business would be hurt, if it had to compete with the Keystone pipeline.
Sounds like more of obama’s crony capitalism to me.
The train lines are apparently a lot more full. The RR tracks are not available as much to haul food, coal, people, etc.
Warren is making a killing $$
