He´ll do whatever Soros tells him he must do.

A rift with Canada??? What about a RIFT with the American public?

This article never mentions all the good-paying construction trade jobs that would be generated by constructing the pipeline and all the good-paying manufacturing jobs that would be supported by the operation of this pipeline. The sad thing is that all of these unions will support Obama and Democrats even as he shoots them in the back.

#3, actually most construction workers are non union. But, what you say is right on. Keystone would unleash a boom of economic activity. It would also help reduce gas prices. I wish the GOP would use keystone as leverage and make a deal with Dear Leader regarding the sequester. Dear Leader needs a legacy and the GOP desperately need something to run on in 2014. Added bonus: it will drive a wedge between the Gimeecrats.

Making a deal with Obama is like making a deal with a ghost. Nothing would come of it.

The Commiegreens spent serious money on O´fake´s re-election in 2012. Another backer Buffet is racking up freight charges moving the oil via his railroads. Workers and America lose. OFake´s Muslim big-oil buddies in Arabia get richer. No faster way to ship jobs overseas that when we buy a tanker of imported oil.

#4, the Canadians have already negotiated with the unions and the equipment operators laying the pipe will be union members. The whole project has been through the EPA review at least twice and the endangered species review. Some day we´ll learn whether the delay was due to indecisiveness or the desire to get a bigger bribe.

When the president is Democrat party, articles are about how everything affects him.

When the President is a Republican, articles are about how he either caused the problem or didn´t address it.

Will this stupid paper hurry up and fold?

His decision will show how he really feels about jobs for Americans, the economy and energy independence. As usual, he will weasel somehow.

See the must read on whether Stinky the Gunrunner is acting in stupidity or malice. Then you may be like me, and consider that the pipeline will be banned, simply because that will hurt the greatest number of people.

The "risks" exist, IMO, only in the reporters minds.

I believe the pipeline will be approved because O can first trade the approval for something from the GOP. They will give something, maybe not the Carbon Tax, but something.

And later O can resume harassing the fossil fuel industries anyway.

What is the risk from Environmentalists? They will keep voting for Democrats anyway. And the Democrats know it.

The activists will immediately will try to undo a the pipeline with lawsuits even if it is approved. And the nature of our courts gives them some chance of doing so.

Obama can´t trade killing the pipeline for anything he doesn´t alread have. And I don´t think he cares about the economic or diplomatic consequences of dediding either wa.

President Obama is voting PRESENT.
As soon as VJ tells him what to do, he
will give his decision. His job is to
do what is in the best interest of the U>S>,
not what is in the best interest of his special interest groups, but the man cannot shed his campaign mode , and govern and as a a LEADER. What if the man is simply incapable of making decisions on most anything. That is why everything is always dragged to infinity;
and why he spends almost all his time giving speeches and vacationing. Where his biggest decision is which golf club to use and what to eat for din-din.

Decisions, decisions...OMG does he have to make another one? He avoids making them as long as possible. Maybe he is unsure? What a sick person he is.

If it comes to a choice between eco-terrorists and Canada, Canada will lose.

The auto-flagellation of the "Green" movement mat be more of a danger than the run of the mill communists in this regime.

The religiosity and pseudo-science promoted by the "Greens" threatens to ruin another generation of otherwise reasonable students.

And yes, it´s malice and revenge against evil white people who never existed that drives Barky.

He´d better vote for it, the UNIONS DEMAND IT!

The tree huggers can wait until next time...
