hello america!!! i can only guess that five years of study is not enough time for one to make a final determination on whether or not to give the consent needed for the keystone pipeline to become a reality. if you care to go back to march 22 2012, here's what obama said then...

&, here's where we are today...

from the beginning in 2008, it was clear to me, obama wanted no parts of the pipeline & continues to 'evolve' at our expense &, just as clear are his excuses & lies...look, you're either for it or against---man up & stop this 'i don't know crap'---just for once, be honest...
regardless of how you may feel, the pipeline would create jobs (both part & full time); it would greatly lessen our dependence on foreign oil which would have several intended effects (cheaper gas at the pumps, the ability to supply our allies, less americans on food stamps or medicaid); the gov't (from local on up) would reap the rewards by taking in more taxes all across the board...
yes, there are the problems with seepage & spills, however, these concerns are minor when compared to the greater good the pipeline would produce...widelife could be relocated (if need be) & the oil industry could better protect the drinking water...
obama talks about the majority of americans that elected him to office &, i don't have a problem with that---i do have a problem when he refuses to do what the will of the majority of americans want &, all polls show that they want the pipeline...
