    Rejecting the Keystone pipeline is an act of insanity


    http://www.washingtonpost.com/op…

    President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico is an act of national insanity. It isn’t often that a president makes a decision that has no redeeming virtues and — beyond the symbolism — won’t even advance the goals of the groups that demanded it. All it tells us is that Obama is so obsessed with his reelection that, through some sort of political calculus, he believes that placating his environmental supporters will improve his chances.

    • I wholeheartedly agree with that notion. Regardless of the inflated job calls, such BS going on with this guy.

    • I don't think he's appeasing environmentalists, so much as he's actually considering the environmental consequences.BrokenHD
    • Highly doubtful, but you can live in that idealistic world if you like.
