Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter joined nine other Nobel Peace Laureates in sending a strongly worded letter to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, urging them not to approve construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The letter opened as follows:
"You stand on the brink of making a choice that will define your legacy on one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced climate change. As you deliberate the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, you are poised to make a decision that will signal either a dangerous commitment to the status quo, or bold leadership that will inspire millions counting on you to do the right thing for our shared climate. We stand with the 2,000,000 voices who submitted their comments in the national interest determination process rejecting the pipeline and ask you once again to stop Keystone XL."

We just can't seem to get rid of this dingleberry out of the political scene. I'm just a few years younger than this meathead, and I knew when it was time to retire years ago.

Because Nobel peace laureates are qualified to tell everyone what to do about energy extraction and transportation.

You’ll find though that GA people still like him, just like the Texans with the Bushes.

Wow, Carter sticking it in the unions’ eye again by opposing Keystone XL? Some libs would call him a “conservative” for doing that.

A sure-fire indication we may get this thing through yet. His touch is even deadlier than Obastard’s.
Hope.

That should settle it then. If Carter is against it, the thing HAS to be a great idea!
