""The State Department is the proper venue for reaching this determination," Earnest said"

Well, THAT's total Grubering slobering.

[thackney]

"The State Department is the proper venue for reaching this determination,"

Agreed. But the time for that determination was years ago. When they won't do their job, someone else eventually will.

The answer has already been given

Since the pipeline will not induce unfavorable climate change, the bill will be signed into law.

[Common Sense 101]

Send the POS the bill... make the POS veto it!

[Cowboy Bob]

The bill appears one vote shy of the 60 needed for a filibuster-proof majority, but the White House offered no prediction of how the vote would turn out.

Who would filibuster, and how long do you think they would last? I for one would welcome a filibuster. It would draw the attention of the public to see that the Democrats are blocking a project that would create thousands of jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign (i.e., Middle East oil)

[ColdOne]

We all know why it is one vote shy...to give her to look as if she cares and give eboma no way to have to veto the vote.

"The White House on Tuesday sidestepped the question of whether President Obama would veto a Senate bill authorizing the Keystone XL pipeline."

Well, I have an idea. Just send President Ebola the bill and let him veto it. Then everyone will know where the pResident who masquerades as an American stands on the issue.

"The State Department's "Global-Warming Water Boy" is the proper venue for reaching this determination," Earnest said, adding that "it certainly is a piece of legislation that the president doesn't support."

Negotiating or Compromising is only for Republicans.

[Paladin2]

The WH is a goose....

[Political Junkie Too]

"The State Department is the proper venue for reaching this determination..." but offer approval to the GOP-controlled Congress in exchange for one of the president's priorities next year.

This is an oxymoron.

Either the State Department is the proper venue, making this a treaty, or Congress is the proper venue, making it legislation.

If it is legislation, then Obama is wrong to say that State is the proper venue.

If it is a treaty, then only the Senate needs to vote to ratify it, making the idea that Obama can "offer" it in exchange for other priorities just plain wrong.

Obama always lets ISIS know our plans... “no boots on the ground”... unless they get a nuke etc... Even tells ISIS what would be more ‘effective’.

Why so tight mouthed with citizens of the United States?

[Tallguy]

If Obama is willing to go to the mat over Keystone then he’s signaling a scorched-earth policy for the remainder of his term. May as well start impeachment proceedings...

[Iron Munro]

[Mr. K]

Earnest is an even slimier weasel than Carney.

At least Carney looked uncomfortable having to lie for Obama sometimes, this guy acts like he has no conscience whatsoever

[spokeshave]

there are similar pieces of legislation that have been introduced in this Congress where the president’s senior advisers have recommended a veto," Earnest said.

Obama" OK I got it now....

Heads is we have Wagu Beef for lunch

and Tails is for Lobster.

Senior advisor to self "what a dufus"

“”The State Department is the proper venue for reaching this determination,”

Our criminal state department has been infiltrated by the Nazi Soros.

[ColdSteelTalon]

Do we know how many permanent jobs the pipeline will create?
