Pure Theater.
Keep them coming.
Some will call it pure theater. So be it. It will be interesting theater until our new Congress is sworn in.
Then it will become reality for the rats as Herr Obozo gets bill after bill to sign as the house stops funding any of his wet dreams.
The vote was 252-161 in favor of Keystone.
Unfortunately, this tells me that if Obama (as expected), vetoes it, there will not be enough votes in the House to override it. We need at least 290 if the whole house (all 435 of them) votes.
Or We’ll need at least 276 if only these 413 WHO VOTED, bother to vote again.
So, nice try, but not even close to have a cigar.
The only interesting part of this is whether the Dems pass it in some futile effort to save Mary Landrieu’s bacon.
Kabuki.
Senate overcomes angst and handwringing and passes the bill.
Zerohissef vetoes the bill.
Landrieu can return to the hustings and claim she courageously stared down Zerohissef and voted for the pipeline to bring more jobs to the great state of Loozyana. But send her back and she will bygawd do NEXT time!
[She loses by 16 in Dec. as the stupid people forget to vote...]
Much ado about nothing.
This is all about giving the pig from Louisiana cover in her bid to retain a Senate seat.
Bit confused.....I thought that because the US was procrastinating, Canada had agreed to sell it’s oil to China.
Completely irrelevant. The Snickering Dictator will never sign it.
“after Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana begged her colleagues to immediately bring the legislation to the floor.”
Hail Mary pass from Reid to Landrieu running far, far away from 0bama....
So now let the senate continue the charade, and force Obama to expose the game. Don’t slow down now.
Question: House Passes. Senate Passes. Obama vetoes.
Does Congress have the votes on this one to override the veto?
