Obama breaking out the veto pen today for Keystone

Now the Republicans have forced his hand and proved that he would rather get donations from the Sierra Club than money for the economy.

The economy will be fine minus those 50 permanent jobs + whatever cleanup jobs come up after spills.

Considering the big Democratic job creating idea - road jobs and infrastructure - creates very few permanent jobs as well, it seems a rather silly thing to harp on.

Yeah it's not like investments in infrastructure are important or are even needed in this county. 

Oh, was I saying the contrary??

Honestly - The Keystone pipeline really doesn't matter much. The fact the Republicans have amped it up to be such a big deal is kind of amazing and kind of nonsensical. I'm of mind that it should be passed but if it doesn't happen it isn't the end of the world.

It seems like Republicans have better areas to work with the President on anyways (corporate taxation, for instance).

In other words, Nix is pretty right on this.
