President Barack Obama will veto the Keystone XL bill if Congress passes a measure green-lighting the oil pipeline, White House press secretary Josh Earnest announced on Tuesday.
Newly minted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has scheduled a vote on the Keystone XL pipeline project as the first of the new Congress. The bill has some bipartisan support, but environmentalists and progressives have heavily lobbied the White House to oppose the pipeline....
Earnest added that the White House reviewed the text of the bill to authorize the pipeline on Monday....

He does own some pipelines as well. Just not that pipeline company.
Keep sending it to his desk and keep making him veto the project.
Once a month would be about right.
Keep sending all the bills up and make him veto them. Sets the stage for next round of elections and defines Zero as the ultimate lame duck president, thwarting the will of the people.
Obama never was going to, and never will sign the Keystone XL pipeline bill. He will do anything he can to bring the USA down. I would suggest to Democrats, that they heed how they vote in the future. Siding and voting with Obama has been political poison for many, many Democrats. 2016 is coming quickly and the electorate is in no mood to messed around with by Obama, and deadbeat Democrats!!! Remember, 2014.....2016 will be worse for Democrats that side along with Obama, the “Lame Duck” POTUS!!! Pubbies rip Obama to pieces, politically and send him packing, back to Chicago!!!
Plus they don't posses the cajones!
Hyperbole. Now is the time to bury the Dems and prepare the way for victory in 2016. Obama will never be impeached. If they wouldn’t do Clinton, they won’t do Barak.
Just keep sending it back to him until the optics force him to sign.
I don’t recall him threatening to veto Landrieu’s bill for Keystone if it passed. Of course, she’s Dim and was getting beaten in her re-election.
Mitch McConnell blasts White House veto threat over Keystone bill — saying none threatened over Mary Landrieu’s identical 2014 bill

We dont really need the Keystone Pipeline now.
Due to investments already committed, oil-sands production is poised to rise 36 percent to at least 2.6 million barrels a day by 2017, Peters & Co., a Calgary-based investment bank, said in a November forecast. Projects now under construction will require 1 million barrels a day of new pipeline space, said Chris Cox, an analyst at Raymond James Ltd. in Calgary.
What you should expect this year is that all incremental heavy oil barrels are effectively going to be transported by rail, Cox said.
