Assuming Obama is serious about this, rather than just spinning, color me confused. I mean if building the balance of the pipeline to where it need to go for it to make the slightest economic sense at all (to wit, to the Canadian border) is  a political football that is still up in the air, wouldn't that be like building a bridge that goes only half way across a river?  And who would be dumb enough to spend a lot of money building a pipeline, that may end up being a pipeline to nowhere, but with the private investors holding the bag, rather than the government at taxpayers' expense this time?

Can someone help me this this?  I am at a loss.

I agree it's a stunt, but if it's only connecting OK to TX, convince me why I should care about it.

Who would be crazy enough to put money in it, if there is uncertainty as to whether the government will permit its crossing over Nebraska? Would you, unless you were very confident that Obama will be defeated in November?

Is this segment meaningless minus the part through NE? I thought it cleared a bottleneck of its own.

From Oklahoma to Texas? How has Oklahoma been getting its oil to market all these years?
