President Obama Stands Up to Big Oil, by Robert Redford environmental activist
President Obama has just rejected a permit for the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline -- a project that promised riches for the oil giants and an environmental disaster for the rest of us.
His decision represents a victory of historic proportions for people from throughout the pipeline path and all across America who have waged an uphill, years-long fight against one of the most nightmarish fossil fuel projects of our time.
But make no mistake: Big Oil is going to fight back hard and fast.

That is courageous; he's doing the right thing. We should have his back. I hope we can strongly counter the avalanche of lies the repukes and Big Oil will truck out against him.
I don't know what they will do, but he deserves support. They won't be playing around.

(13,532 posts)I love having the opportunity to praise President Obama for fighting hard - in this case he fought hard AND won which is even better.
Here's to hoping I have many more of these opportunities in the coming years.
