Freshwest made an excellent point.
I'm all for our President. But with pipelines currently being built in several states, and eminent domain being used (abused) to forge their way in other states, I can't help but wonder if this is already a done deal ?
Is it that Obama knows this, but is stalling, so that his name isn't associated with it when it comes time to sign the final deal ?

Believe how Obama has held them off for three years, Peggy. The Sequester is the GOP's revenge. freshwest Feb 2013 #11

I hope that Obama will cut the Keystone pipeline Rosa Luxemburg Feb 2013 #2

I've kept track mentally, of the number of threats that the GOP issued over the KXL. freshwest Feb 2013 #8

Thank goodness that we have a Democratic Party president! Rosa Luxemburg Feb 2013 #32

Or the Koch brothers cry - see the links I posted for Rosa. They must be stopped. freshwest Feb 2013 #17

I read the first link, will have to save the others for tomorrow. sheshe2 Feb 2013 #18

Save the last link to hear what the Koch brothers really think - really nasty report. freshwest Feb 2013 #19

That just made me go read the last link! sheshe2 Feb 2013 #22

Excellent links, freshwest. Sorry it took me two nights to finish them sheshe2 Feb 2013 #35

Great spirit, nevergiveup! freshwest Feb 2013 #14

If only. But I have no doubt Obama has always intended to approve it and MotherPetrie Feb 2013 #6

Although what do his past actions say? AverageJoe90 Feb 2013 #20

Why would Obama not have killed this long ago if he was opposed to it? MotherPetrie Feb 2013 #28

Political capital, for one. AverageJoe90 Feb 2013 #30

And I'm pretty sure no one will change yours either. JTFrog Feb 2013 #26

No, because Obama will approve this in the end MotherPetrie Feb 2013 #29

You don't know that. AverageJoe90 Feb 2013 #31

I hope Mr. Kennedy is right HoneychildMooseMoss Feb 2013 #7

The question is-what would TEDDY Kennedy in 2013 do. That is the relevant question. graham4anything Feb 2013 #24

Not sure why you thought that this might be considered inappropriate. grantcart Feb 2013 #25

Very appropriate. n/t ProSense Feb 2013 #27
