‘Ridiculous’: Administration punts on Keystone, Obama faces Dem revolt
Foxnews ^

Posted on 04/18/2014 12:29:05 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

The Obama administration once again has punted on a final decision for the Keystone XL pipeline, announcing ahead of the holiday weekend that it is extending a key review period indefinitely -- a move that could push off a determination until after the midterm elections.

Republicans, as well as red-state Democrats who want the pipeline approved, slammed the administration for the delay.

"It's absolutely ridiculous that this well over five year long process is continuing for an undetermined amount of time," Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.H., said in a statement.

The only pivot Obama ever makes is left, further left and further than further left.

I find it ridiculous that Heitkamp tows the Democrat Party line in support of Obama each time she casts a vote.

ALL according to the clown's plan to destroy the economic engine that used to be America. Joe the plumber showed us all what to expect back in 2007-2008, and yet the LIV still bought into this wealth redistribution lock stock and barrel TWO TIMES.

Next up he will sign on to spreading the wealth around the globe in the guise of a CARBON TAX, and to a lesser extent continued open borders - Ya all come on in, no papers required, no waiting in lines, as king I will wave my pen (magic wand). After all so many in Central and South America are dirt poor and we need to bless them with all the bennies that we also give "MY" people today."

Not sure if I need the /s or not.

Obama ignores the law and the Constitution. The States should just go ahead, ignore the Feds and build the pipeline!!

Are we there yet?

This Obama , coercive Utopian non decision is the death nell for Mary and a dozen other Dufus dems in the Senate.

This is a leg up for the GOP to take a majority in the Senate .....but the GOP is still yet unprepared for the thuggery of the Obama Campaigns electoral machine and its computer based, social network “get out the vote” poll fraud.

Once we’ve removed the Democrats from Senate control and strengthened the House we can strip this power from the Executive branch.

The pipeline business here in NEPA is astounding and exciting..But Gnu Yak is scared of its shadow and won’t harvest the trillions of dollars under the Southern Tier, so we continue to watch over the demise of Binghamton and Elmira...when they could both be gold mines...

As long as they continue to offer Obamaphone, Obamahome, Obamaloan, Obamacare, WIC, SNAP, WELFARE, EIC’s and TAX Credits to the poor, promises of taking from those that workhard and giving to those that hardly work, cutting the benefits to those that have guarded this nation by standing watch on the front lines of freedom and giving benefits and elevated status to those that enter this country illegally in violation of the law, and as long as a womens right to choose to abort children and force taxpayers to subsidize their lifestyle choices trumps a persons belief that God holds every life from the moment of its conception to the moment that its soul returns home to him as sacred, well as you can see the list is long and I fear this once great nation has fallen too far. I hope I am wrong and the mistakes that have been made are corrected but we will find out in November.

The only ones holding up Obama’s job approval numbers are the flaming libtards who violently oppose Keystone- this is simple self-preservation for our Narcisicist-in-Chief.

Well well, looks like ole WV and RI& Dl are the only three states without a pipeline. Of course I know why there is no pipeline in WV. You would never get it over or under all these hills.

Twenty interstate natural gas pipeline systems operate within the Northeast Region (Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and West Virginia). These interstate pipelines deliver natural gas to several intrastate natural gas pipelines and at least 50 local distribution companies in the region. In addition, they also serve large industrial concerns and, increasingly, natural gas fired electric power generation facilities.

The natural gas pipeline and local distribution companies serving the Northeast have access to supplies from several major domestic natural gas producing areas and from Canada. Domestic natural gas flows into the region from the Southeast into Virginia and West Virginia, and from the Midwest into West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Canadian imports come into the region principally through New York, Maine, and New Hampshire.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies also enter the region through import terminals located in Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Brunswick, Canada.

It is a pipeline that means US and Canadian jobs, lower, more accessible energy, increased employment and related government tax revenue on both sides of the border, money that could pay down debt. Why would Barry want that? After all, after the last election, he has more ‘flexibility’!
