The Obama administration is expected to reject the controversial Keystone Pipeline this afternoon, according to Fox News.
The State Department is expected to vote against the pipeline this afternoon. Transcanada will however be allowed to reapply with an alternate route going through Nebraska.
The administration will be unlikely to approve the pipeline under the timeline for the payroll tax cut extension law which requires a decision by February 21
The project has been extremely controversial for two main reasons. Those in favor of the pipeline point to the 8.5% unemployment rate, and point out that the pipeline could create much-needed high-paying jobs. Moreover, it would provide cash-strapped governments with tax revenues. On the other hand after the BP Deepwater spill of 2010 and ExxonMobil's July 2011 pipeline spill, environmentalists are pressuring the Obama administration to nip the project in the bud.

Stanley Ann Dunham - mother
Obama, Sr., an African Muslim
Indonesian Muslim Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo
Barry was raised in his formative years in Indonesia and as a Muslim.
Lived with Communist leaning grandparents
He felt at home with left leaning, American hating, professors and friends
Living like a King and Queen, Barack and Michelle Obama are not Socialists, they are Communists. He is killing this nation with Marxist rule, and Communist and Socialist advisers like Valery Jarrett and Van Jones for starters.
. Time to call this imposter what he is
..a Communist like his fathers.
This man is despicable. He’s killing us. Or maybe shooting his re-election in the foot. Yay, on that!
Actually, we'd "squeal". But otherwise, I'm with you.
That's who we have as a President. it's sad, trgic...and unbelievable that such a thing could happen. But with almost half the country getting government handouts, with a radical socialist political party in the DNC, and with a corrupt and in the tank main stream media...we see hpow it did.
Now its time to take it back.
But the Keystone XL Pipeline is horrid... the "pipeline of death."
What is the difference?
.
Bipartisan import interests and NIMBYs with large, remote land properties (”property values”). Political activities of all kinds of corrupted. Some will say that it’s a global market, but the rejection of the Keystone XL will raise western hemisphere oil prices.

The NRDC and Oil Change International today released a report that says the Keystone XL Pipeline will not protect America's energy interests, rather it will maximize the profits of "Big Oils". From the report:
"Keystone XLs backers want to re-direct tar sands oil from the American Midwest to reach the international market where tar sands oil would fetch a higher price. The Keystone XL pipeline would thus add billions of dollars to their annual profits while raising the cost of oil for millions of American consumers in the U.S. heartland.
There are clear alternatives to allowing the United States to be to be an oil conduit merely to accommodate ever- growing profits for big oil companies. As American gasoline consumption continues to shrink, the United States can continue its current trajectory to reduce its oil dependency by making further clean energy investments to improve fuel efficiency and replace oil with environmentally sound renewable fuels. These investments will create tens of thousands more jobs than Keystone XL would without the risk of major oil spills.
What a bunch of horse crap.yeah, those other green jobs worked out so great.
This just in, “The President is STUPID on this”. - Newt
On the money as usual......thanks.
It does seem that way... Thanks for the ping.
Is Newt looking for a beer-summit?
I think how these candidates handle this issue in the debate will be the final thing to cement my decision about the primary. I suspect others will be paying close attention.
This issue is NOT a winner for Obamer and if those Repub candidates are serious they'll get out the long knives for Obamer on this one.
Our repersenatives are NOT representing the people.
If something like this was done by a conservative president, Harry Reid Peloski et al would be all over it.
The Hollywood vote and money is a lot more important than real jobs.
Many of the ranchers I talked to in Western Nebraska didn’t want the pipeline. The liability was to high, and they have been burned by energy companies before.
On the other side of clinton was nancy pelosi. This was taken immediately prior to the election. When action is required, the powers that be submit their 'needs' to bill who then directs the puppet in the white tent.
This is why poor wittle nancy can't retire.
Who needs a pipeline when your friend, Warren Buffett, owns a railroad and has a $38B subsidy to haul the oil?
