Keystone pipeline delay draws cheers, dismay - latimes.com: "President Obama's decision Thursday to put off the decision of whether to permit the controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico drew cheers from his environmentalist supporters but heightened criticism from opponents eager for jobs and fuel for the ailing U.S. economy. The 1,700-mile pipeline would carry oil extracted from Canada's tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico, crossing plains states and the enormous Ogallala aquifer. It has been the target of increased protest and opposition from environmentalists who complain that the corrosive oil poses a spill threat."
Obama has "bottled it" as the Brits would say. Showing zero leadership and putting him the left side of the rag-tag army of Occupy, one has to wonder if he's getting a back-hander from the princes of price fixin' otherwise known as OPEC.

We expect the usual troop of ban-it baboons to be marching, as they have their own anti-industrial-America agendas. Pre-Stone Age would be too advanced for the great unwashed. If it's not a pond of tadpoles that's in the way of America's needs, then it's the no tar sands twits and a non President.
I couldn't imagine Putin putting up with any of this, as mother Russia's needs come before Greens and geese.
