Of course, the Republican Congress will pass it.

I hope he will veto it when they do that.

k&r...

he said we'd get a million jobs if we fixed bridges and roads. He's right - there is no comparison in the amount of jobs we'd get from Keystone compared to infrastructure.

If it's jobs the Repubs want - then they should be for infrastructure rebuilding.

We need to keep reminding them of that.

Every word PBO has said about Keystone has been measured and designed to cast doubt on its efficacy. He's been casting doubt on its ability to benefit the 99%.

Today was as clear as a bell: It's Canadian oil. It's going to cross our land. It's going to be sold on the world market. It has nothing zero nada zip zilch to do with gas prices in the US. Almost no jobs will be created.

But he's going to wait for the latest study to cross his desk, and then for the bill to be written and passed through both houses of Congress.

Then he is going to veto the sucker. But why would he want to borrow trouble in advance by telling the GOP that?

After the mid-tems he said basically the same thing. Good on him.

This is the Democratic way of achieving a long term solution to a problem. In 2 more years TransCanada won't even want to build it.

at all you haters (and YOU know who you are...) that thought you KNEW he WOULD Definitely support Keystone Pipeline.....

It appears YOU don't know him as well as you think you do....it seems he is rickrolling you....

One of this President's strongest suits....has been the element of surprise....just think about that...how many times has he surprised us so far????

I can't watch video at the moment. You seem awfully confident that he will block it. What exactly did he say?

And I won't hold my breath in the meantime...

do not underestimate him. You should have learned that by now....

Obama also said he would not sign a healthcare bill without a Public Option, you know. Words are free. This is politics, and this issue is political currency.

and I did watch the video....did YOU?

I'm hopeful that he will block it. His words certainly leave the door open for doing so. However, I did not hear a promise to veto any legislation-- did you?

about the man yet?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of Riverkeepers, has said, even when being arrested for civil disobedience in front of the White House in an anti-Keystone protest, that he knew Obama would not sign on to it.

Why should he sign onto it?

He's been very consistent in delaying and resisting it. He has not only said what he said here before, but that it would add to climate change and the money made would not help the American people. Becuase it s not going to be taxed. The Koch brothers stand to DOUBLE their current net worth in one year's operation. They own ends of it and threatened PBO in 2010 if he didn't go along, he'd pay a political price. He did.

They launched the Tea Party to push this through and renew the Bush tax cuts. As soon as the Tea Party got the majority, they threatened government shut down for not going along.

It's going to be a hard road until 2017. They will keep pushing for it. He will resist. He's stronger and smarter than a lot of people think.

they will know in the future just how much!

buying your way off planet and certainly enough for a viable population is a fairly long term project.

Anybody that has any extended interest in any portion of humanity then you can't just completely shit the nest.

For those of us that have a general concern for all people and even all life, it isn't a debate.
