This was one more example of the White House kissing up to environmentalists at the expense of the blue collar workers who would have built the pipeline. Talk about your shovel-ready projects, this one could have created construction and refinery jobs and reduced our dependency on Middle East oil.
Canada will export the oil, if not to the U.S., then to China. Wouldn't we rather import oil from Canada than from the Arabian peninsula? Money we spend in Canada won't end up funding anti-U.S. terrorists.
I expect the contenders for the GOP presidential nomination to speak out against this Obama administration decision. It is a bad one, even for this White House.
