The president’s point in Cushing is that while he won’t allow the top of the pipeline to go where the oil is, he has chosen not to block pipeline expansions at the southern end. This, of course, makes folks in the energy business furious. To have the president demanding credit for not blocking domestic pipeline upgrades is galling to them. They need executive blessing to cross the international border with Canada, but for domestic jobs they mostly just need Obama not to interfere and allow the permitting process to work as in the past.
Since all this requires is Army Corpse of Engineers to ok it and they already have as have the states of Texas and OK 0dumbo can do little to stop it.
It is sickening to see how MSM tries to bolster 0dumbo’s LIE that he is involved in getting the segment done.
