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....

Sometimes, when the president does not act, congress has to do it themselves without the president.
That’s the way we do things in Transformed America.
anything that weakens America (or our economy or which cuts jobs)
you can count on it!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, of course he’ll veto it. What’s annoying is that he gets Earnest to re-iterate it during the Boehner vote, which is rubbing salt in the wound while taking a victory lap. Do you think Boehner shared the whip count with the WH?
All theater for the benefit of Dear Leader.

Obama panders once again to the left.
Warren Buffet has oil trains to pay for.
Well, that’ll be all right too, I’m sure.
If there ever was any, this removes all doubt that Obama will serve his Saudi masters to the detriment of the American people.
Too many capitalist shovel ready jobs for the Marxist in Chief.
GO Ducks!
This is a complete waste of time and energy and Boehner and the GOPe know it.
The only things that will move Obama are a complete government shutdown and Articles of Impeachment.
Anything less than that is just a show. Boehner and the GOPe are worse than the Democrats.
I think you found the solution. DO IT ANYWAY AND IGNORE OBAMA.
Same thing with Obamacare. Don’t buy it.
How many years now has this pipeline been in the "final phase of review"?
Ignore the SOB and tell the construction companies to get busy. Why is the Tan Tyrant the only one who can issue dictatorial orders?
I’d love to see the people veto Obam-a-ram-it-to-ya.
His motto: “Anything to hurt America.”
We entered and finished WW2 in less time than the government reviews on this project.
