The proposed Keystone XL Pipeline that would go from tar sands in Canada to Texas sparked protests at the White House. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down including his prediction on the Obama Administration and the role of TransCanada.

2. When Obama announced he'd wait until after the election

I had the exact same reaction as Cenk.

3. A punter is not a quarterback

This Administration - when it comes to protecting the public
versus collecting a campaign check from a corporation - will
always choose the corporation.  What has BP really paid for
polluting the Gulf and killing people?  The political genius
is to kick the can on the pipeline and make it happen as soon
as the votes are counted next November.

President Obama is a punter - a Ray Guy class pro punter. 
What the country needs is a quarterback.  A punter is not a
quarterback.
