I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but, can anyone tell me WHY 0bama has to approve this, and WHEN did it become necessary for a president to approve something like this? Did the president always have to approve oil wells being drilled when oil companies or individual speculators bought land or drilling rights and drilled for oil? Thanks.

Obama has a say if the pipelines cross a border into Canada or Mexico. If they are strictly domestic, he doesn't.

When did it become necessary to get "permission" from ANY president to do anything other than go to war with another country?

Even then he has to get approval from Congress, but lately even that doesn't seem to matter.

If they decide to start building it what's he gonna do? Give them a stern warning? Pfft...this guy is such a pussy he'd back down if you raised a voice to him.

As part of the bil to extend the payroll cut Congress added in a requirment that 0dumbo had 60 days to decide whether to approve the KL or not( congress had approved it)
Odumbo had until IIRC Fed03 to announce his decision.

he took a really chickenchit way out.

I coulnd’t be happier than TransCanada and the GOP figured out a way around the vile lying POS.
