It’s the same as Fracking in New York State. Even as neighboring Pennsylvania creates thousands of jobs and has been fracking for natural gas for at least 5 years, and even as the EPA has decided that it is environmentally safe, David Patterson and Andrew Cuomo both decides to .... do another study.

If the MSM had properly vetted
0 family I think you’ll find Rolla Charles Payne
Had investments in gas/oil in Kansas and Oklahoma
Good luck at getting to his probate records
But coincidently there are two working wells called Stanley A and Stanley D
Can you say conflict of interest?

Also look into Paynes relationship with Kaiser. The own a solid interest in Solindra

Obama is footdragging because he is against it but doesn’t want to appear overtly against it.

He has definitively decided. Period.

The decision is to “study” in eternity. Like when a legislature sends a bill back to committee, effectively killing it, as it goes into the abyss of a bottomless hopper.

He decided long ago.

Warren Buffet moves the oil on our rail systems. XL pipeline threatens that. Barry is moving 'Benghazi quick' on this matter. STANDING DOWN! If he does approve it, he'll do it right before the midterm elections for a bounce.

I say BUILD IT ANYWAY. How can one man hold up a multi-state endeavor like this?

The only pipe line King Obama studied is crack.

He will wait until his poll numbers are even more abysmal, about 90 days ahead of the 2014 elections and then, in a huge ceremonius announcement, will approve the pipeline.

The MSM will laud him for creating so many great jobs and he will be the hero. They will talk about how deliberative he was and his desire to make the best decision for the American people and how much this will help the middle class.

Of course, the fact this decision should have been made 4 years ago and could have positively impacted the nation for so long will be ignored. They will report he did the right thing for the people and demonstrated great leadership. Anyone complaining about taking so long will be dismissed as overly partisan and that is not an issue.

Before the election people thought he was holding up the pipeline so as not to piss off the “greenies”. Now it’s obvious it is simply to hurt the country.

Easy; he is a slow child.

He’ll approve right after approving oil exploration in ANWR.

No decision is a decision.

The strategy is to delay it until the company resorts to Plan B which,IIRC,is to build a pipeline to Canada's Pacific coast so the oil can go to China.Lots of good jobs for Canadians,and good oil for China....zip,zero,nada for the US.

How can odumbo “study” anything when he is always going to, on or returning from a vacation or golf match?

Oh, he’s decided. He doesn’t want it built. And, as long as he dithers, it won’t be built: effectively a “No” vote, but it’s actually a “Present” vote. He gets his way, but zero blame for the consequences. Sound familiar?
