Human Events: McConnell: Keystone pipeline unlikely to pass until Obama is voted out

[Patricia M. McBride]

Another reason his highness needs to voted out including the fact he thought he should take over the super bowl last night, because is running for re-election and needed more exposure and his green cars were there with him!  I wonder, did we pay for that or did his re-election campaign?  It is very pricey, so he probably stuck the taxpayers with the bill!

Despite ambitious attempts by Republicans to resuscitate the Keystone XL pipeline blocked by Barack Obama, the project isn’t likely to get approved until the president is voted out of office, said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

“We’re going to keep coming back at it with different (bills), but I think probably the only way we’re going to get the Keystone pipeline started is to defeat Barack Obama,” McConnell told HUMAN EVENTS.

TransCanada has waited for three years and undergone numerous environmental studies to get the approval from the White House to build the pipeline from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf Coast and transport 830,000 barrels of oil a day to U.S. refineries.

After numerous delays by the Obama administration, Congress forced Obama through legislation to deliver a verdict, but he killed the project last month.

“It is astonishing, I mean truly astonishing,” McConnell said of Obama’s decision.
