    Carney: GOP cancelled Keystone, not Obama

    WASHINGTON – The president didn’t stop the Keystone XL oil pipeline — Republicans did.

    That’s the message on Tuesday from White House spokesman Jay Carney as gas prices rise above $4.00 per gallon.

    “The president didn’t turn down the Keystone pipeline,” Carney said, because the proposal to construct the pipeline was reviewed by the Department of State.

    President Barack Obama’s decisions to nix construction of the pipeline has been repeatedly attacked by the GOP, and by some Democratic-allied unions representing construction workers. They say Obama cancelled the pipeline, and up to 20,000 well-paying jobs, to please his environmentalist supporters as the November election draws closer.

    The November decision to reject the construction plan “was the result of a decision make, to honor, the concerns of those in Nebraska, including the Republican governor … [that the pipeline] would threaten the water supply in Nebraska,” Carney said.

    Obama again nixed the pipeline in January after Republican leaders had attached a pipeline mandate to the year-end spending plans.

    Rising gas prices threaten to derail Obama’s re-election campaign as they remind voters of the stalled economy, high unemployment and rising national debts. The pain of the rising price is especially strong in Midwest swing states where voters drive long distances between their homes, shops and work.

      How about some facts.

      "After the State Department issued a final and mostly complimentary Environmental Impact Statement in late August, the administration was well on its way toward approving the controversial project. In fact, an overwhelming majority of National Journal Energy and Environment Insiders in October were sure it would happen. But activists had just begun to ramp up opposition and spent much of late summer and fall calling out Obama on the project during campaign rallies and events across the country. The culmination of all this came whenthousands of protesters gathered in Washington in early November, forming a ring around the White House and telling Obama that they would pull their grassroots organizing and donor support in next year's election should the administration green-light the project."

      It was all a political stunt... and if he is re-elected you can expect to see it approved quickly.

      Wow Obama didn't stop the pipeline? I guess the article should read "Republicans protect environment from dangerous pipeline".

        Really, Bill? Anytime anything went wrong during W's administration, Republicans would say, "This is all Clinton's fault." Even though Clinton had to deal with a Republican controlled Congress for most of his 8 years in office. Hypocrite much?

      OMG! Now Barry's resorting to blatant, outright lies, that even liberal acknowledge. "In January, President Obama abruptly vetoed a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, Canada's $7-billion project to deliver oil across the U.S. Midwest to the Texas Gulf Coast, which environmentalists have long opposed."
      • Roman Moronie 3 mths ago
        And so did the Republican governor of Nebraska. You left that part of the equation out. Stupid republicans only like facts when it supports their idiocy. Even then, they circumvent the truth.
    • Kevin P  •  3 mths ago
      Orwell would be so proud. First he shut down the pipeline now he didn't shut down the pipeline. isn't he worried the lunatic green voters will turn against him I mean placating those idiots was the only reason he nixed it to begin with. Yahoo can you try going one week without printing shameless liberal propaganda as news? How about 24 hours even?
