President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the Keystone XL pipeline would not be built if it created more carbon pollution. “Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires finding that doing so would be in our nation’s interest, and our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution,” the president said. “The net effect of the pipeline’s impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward."
We will burn the same exact amount of carbon, whether it comes from the Keystone pipeline or Saudi oil, Obama is an idiot.

Naaah; he's simply a pandering sycophant of the greenie movement. The state department has already released a study and stated twice now that the pipeline would not noticably increase carbon footprint of the U.S. because the stuff is being chemically processed in CANADA, inserted into a pipeline for transport and later upgrading by gulf refineries that are already processing the stuff by the truck/trainload from Canada regardless.
How much carbon emissions do all those tanker trucks and trains put out again?
He knows that arguments to the contrary will be summarily debunked and he can do the "see; I'm clean." dance at the greenie ball next year.
Pretty obvious whom Obama chooses to go to war against.
I remember him as reluctant to use terms of war, terrorist, and victory when the subject was radical Islam. However, for Americans that provide energy...
Obama used terms like battle when discussing climate change, but said victory could not be measured as simple as a military battlefield or as achieving a goal such as man landing on the moon.

Not an idiot but a lackey for a small group who will benefit enormously from Obama's decision. Follow the money.

Hmmm, maybe the guy that bought the Burlington Northern railroad lock, stock and barrel, one who happens to be an Obama supporter, maybe he wants no pipeline so the oil continues to go by rail on BN tracks.
Oh, we already know whether rail or pipelines are environmentally safer. We already know which mode of transport is more cost-effective. We already know which has the smallest carbon footprint.
The only thing we don't know is whether the most cynical president since Richard Nixon will pay off a wealthy supporter and appease the greens while screwing the rest of the country and pretend he deserves a halo for doing it.
He just keeps on doing the same old, same old with his job destroying and economy-wrecking administration. With any luck, people paying higher power rates, or laid off because of the destruction of jobs in the oil and coal industries, will have long memories. Should be an interesting election in '14.
Little wonder that this is the slowest economic recovery after a recession since the '30s. Heck, it may even surpass that.
