Obama did have the stones to veto the pipeline project, despite solid popular support, solid union support, solid financial support. They ought to attempt a veto override in Congress, but the smoke signals I see don't give much hope. But might as well try it, just 'cause it will cause Obama some more pain.
As I understand it, pipe is going into the ground on the US side of the border. They ought to keep laying it. Run it right up to the Canadian border. Then shuttle the oil over the border by rail and into the pipeline.
In the meantime, be sure to emphasize Obama's role in raising fuel prices, increasing US entanglement in the Middle East, and destroying jobs and economic opportunity.
Obama thinks that we can operate off sunlight and wind, instead of fossil fuel. He's wrong on this, I cannot put sunlight or wind into my car, my oil burner, an airliner, or even a railroad locomotive. I cannot use solar electricity after sundown, which is when I need to run my lights and my oil burner. And with the temperature forecast to go down to ten below tonight, I NEED that oil burner. And, all the greenie wailing about CO2 in the atmosphere is moonshine. CO2 is 400 parts per million, plain old water vapor is like 100,000 parts per million or more, and water vapor is as strong a green house gas as CO2. The whole CO2 thing is a tempest in a teapot. The controlling green house gas is water vapor, 'cause water vapor is ten, a hundred or a thousand times more plentiful than CO2. Which might account for the halt in global warming since the 1990's. And with the two thirds of the world covered with open water oceans, nothing is gonna reduce the water vapor levels.
