Obama Voting “Present” On Keystone XL Pipeline

Loading

Remember during the 08 campaign how we laughed about Obama’s habit of voting “present” in the Illinois Senate? We taunted liberals that he wasn’t going to be able to do that as President.

Well, turns out he can.

The Obama administration will announce Thursday that it is re-evaluating the route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, a move that will likely delay a final decision on the project until after the 2012 election, sources briefed by the administration said.TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline would carry oil sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Texas. The proposed pipeline has set off a firestorm in Washington, with critics raising environmental concerns and proponents arguing the project will boost the economy.

Sources briefed by the administration said the decision to consider a new pipeline route would likely delay a final decision on the pipeline until after the election. The administration initially planned to make a decision on the project by the end of the year, but the State Department recently acknowledged that the timeline could slip.

Leading from behind: It’s not just for wars time limited, scope limited kinetic military actions.

What’s the big deal? It’s not like we need jobs or cheaper and reliable sources of energy. We’ve got Solyndra solar panels baby!

Word in Calgary, that Trans Canada Pipelines will not take any more delays( 3 years to the present). Its been studied to death and is creating huge fiscal over runs. The contingency plan is the pipeline to Prince Rupert. Well hello Asia Pacific.

What better way for a community organizer to pass the buck than to call for more studies. Higher gas prices? Blame obama.

don’t worry, he wont be there to stop anymore jobs, coming soon.
the OWLS is going to get him
