The Obama administration is expected to reject the Keystone XL pipeline today, a move that would mean a major victory for his green supporters and a stunning defeat for the oil industry, the Canadian government and Republicans in Congress.

President Barack Obama will give a statement at 11:45 a.m. in the White House, with Vice President Joe Biden in attendance, following a meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry.

This is actually quite surprising...

I thought he was killing Keystone by dragging out the “NO”, and now what was implicit becomes explicit.

Does the pipeline even make any sense now that America is a major oil producer? U.S. Ousts Russia as Top World Oil, Gas Producer

Ok— so, does this mean that Warren Buffett is going to have to pay his billion or so in back taxes, paid with the revenue of the largesse that his railroad hauling this oil in tankcars (subsidized by the US taxpayers)?

There is no rational explanation for this rejection— crude utter crony socialism is at work. All for obiwan obamaumao the state neo-marxist in chief.

Environmentally- one, just one train crash (which has already occurred, twice I believe) is devastating to the environment in the West, spreading oil into the acquifer through ground water blooming spread.

This is simply a lie. Warren Buffett is a manipulative lying bastard as well. Some genius— like making money out of the House Post Office schemes of Rostenkowski days.

So now that the applicants have made a decision to delay until there’s an adult in Whitehouse, Odumbo is making a decision?

I worded that wrong. It’s a shame his mother rejected birth control. We’d just all be a lot better off if she had had any morals.

Now that Trudeau has been elected, it will be a mutual decision. Canada will support it as part of climate change efforts.

Warren Buffett owns the railroads upon which the crude oil is currently shipped from Canada to the Gulf States.

Warren Buffett is a huge donator to Democrats

Particularly our beloved President 0bama.

The Just Us Department needs to look into this crony capitalism.

God Save the Republic

He must have hit the point where he figured a later rejection would be harmful to the Democrats in next November and would allow time for the Canadians to wait it out (imagine a January 19, 2017 rejection which could be reversed in two days). Now, the pipeline to the Pacific for the Chinese will be started immediately and won't be stopped even if this is reversed in 2017.
