If this was via veto...Congress has the power to right it!!
It wasn't via veto. The State Department is rejecting the permit. Thus, Canada has made it abundantly clear that it will sell the Alberta oil to China absent this pipeline to US refiners.
He does, and he knows what he is doing. He just thinks no one else lives in the real world nor pays attention to what he does, as opposed to what he says he does (except the looney left of his).
I thought he was gonna blame the RINO gov (Willard’s friend) of Nebraska...
email I got from Obamaloons last night:
Thank you for writing. President Obama has heard from many Americans concerning the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project, and we appreciate hearing from you. The President is committed to creating the most open and transparent Government in American history, and values your input. Given your interest in this matter, you may be interested in reading a recent official White House response to a petition on this issue. To learn more, please visit: www.WhiteHouse.gov/Energy. Thank you, again, for writing.
at the point of "open and transparent" , I was laughing so hard, Mrs Wobbly asked what was up.
Oh, horsefeathers Barry. You are scared to death over losing the enviro vote.
Does "pristine beauty" represent code words for "criss-crossed by many existing pipelines"?
So, Obama made a deal with the Republicans in Congress to get the Payroll Tax Extension and now reneges on it. But didn’t the Republicans drop XL in order to lose the bad press?
More than anything, we need to use this Executive Branch decision to be used to do away with the EPA. It is the prime example of a law passed by Congress misused.
Well, we claim romney, mclame, snowe, and collins as repubs, why not 0buth0?
The republicans forced a 60-day deadline for a decision in the legislation for Payroll Tax Extension. That deadline is Feb 21, 2012.
This is not photoshopped. On the other side of clinton was nancy pelosi.
Obama, or the people who are running him, have made a decisive turn to the left, and have clearly committed to a campaign of racial incitement and the Big Lie.
Based on their success with the Tea Party, I would say they have a very good chance of victory.
In September 2008, TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP filed an application for a Presidential Permit with the Department of State to build and operate the Keystone XL Project.
It was only AFTER the final Environmental Impact Statement had been issued, after the draft had been approved and subjected to public comment, that they decided the route would not be acceptable, after previously stating it was the best route of the 14 other options.

Congress has no concept of what they are dealing with.
Obama, or whoever is running him, has chosen to free the administrative state from the (weak) regulation and supervision of Congress, and Congress is much too scared to say, "boo".
If Articles of Impeachment were not filed within 24 hours of Obama's "recess" appointments occurring while Congress was in session, you can pretty much rest assured that they have read the tea leaves and will not oppose him in any way.

This Administration is clueless.
Look out Zer0, the hope and change is a coming... and not from you.
