His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and seven other Nobel Peace Prize winners have written to President Obama calling on him to reject the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.

This letter is yet another sign that the world is waiting for President Obama to make the right decision on the pipeline.

What makes you think he'll follow the advice of other Nobel prize winners.

it would a bad political move to ignore the requesting Nobel winners.

oh....wait......duh.

I am curious as to what he is saying about this matter.

We had a chance to begin righting our ship but we failed to really try. And now there's not even the pretense of trying. Will Pres. Obama come out and explain why he's allowing this? When? Or why not?

We are watching our earth (physically) and country (financially, spiritually)die. Really. It is happening. While we bitch and moan about Perry and Bachmann and the Teabaggers screaming "Let him die!", it's all a sideshow. Blue v. Red is a ruse to keep us occupied and divided. Because there's no true Blue in politics, with very few exceptions. Just shades of Red.

The only thing that has a dream of slowing our demise is you and me and the rest of us who won't sell out. God help anyone who still thinks Obama has the desire, the will, or the stones to join us.

they knew but thought I didn't) and an environmental disaster. What did you do?
