I'm convinced 90 percent of it is because so many on the Left oppose it, the difference being the latter group has a list of legitimate reasons that have nothing to do with pissing off the Right.

It's stupid.

Very shy, very quiet Filipino immigrant girl I work with looked at me and said, "What an asshole!" Hardly ever heard her speak, much less curse. Had to give her a hug!

Because of this?.. Or maybe the President is just emphasizing it himself..

"Obama, who spoke at a news conference in Myanmar, said he has had to constantly push back against the idea that Keystone is a "massive jobs bill."

Introducing a fresh debating point, Obama also rejected the idea it would lower gas prices in the U.S., saying it would provide Canada the ability to pump its oil, and "send it through our land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else. That doesn't have an impact on U.S. gas prices

They are childish man-children.

That is the mindset.

Ya know, taking private lands and handing them over to Canadians.

He wouldn't understand it!

best old grouchy person voice!).

(and as an aside, former smoker here who loved smoking...try a good ecig!! I've been using them for almost 3 years, all of the nicotine pleasures and none of the nasty smoke and other crap! You sound like someone we need around for a long time!! not preaching or trying to make you feel bad, it's something I bring up with a lot of smokers!)

I do need to make a change in that regard!

Should yell back "Jesus loves you too!" even if you aren't a believer in Christianity. Just to screw with him.

LOL!

Sadly that's not who we are. We have actually thought about this pipeline for more than a couple minutes and have figured out it's simply a SHAM. Temp jobs, eminent domain, Canadian oil shipped off to market somewhere else: multi-billionaires take all the profit and we take all the risk.

I think the shortsighted republicans are all touting this as some some of American jobs panacea. And it isn't.
