You didn’t think for a moment they were ever seriously considering approving it, did you? If so, why?
So far unconfirmed, but Fox News’ White House correspondent Ed Henry is tweeting that the State Department will announce today that it is not going forward with the Keystone XL pipeline.
Of course it isn’t. As I keep saying, not only does His Majesty the King get to make ordinary Americans suffer more from higher gas prices, he also gets to offend an ally, placate his Watermelon friends, weaken our economy, and help out our Middle Eastern enemies at the same time. For an America-hating douchebag like him, what’s not to like?
Also as I keep saying: if he wasn’t intentionally trying to do actual harm to this nation, what would he be doing any differently? The only way to adequately analyze and understand this vicious shitweasel is to assume the worst about him. Period, full stop, end of story.
Update! Yep, it’s a done deal.
The Obama administration will announce this afternoon it is rejecting a Canadian firm’s application for a permit to build and operate a massive oil pipeline across the U.S.-Canada border, according to sources who have been briefed on the matter.
However the administration will allow TransCanada to reapply after it develops an alternate route through the sensitive habitat of Nebraska’s Sandhills.
Well, golly gee, how nice of ‘em. But Canada is already, umm, hitting the reset button, telling the Pretend pResident to go pound sand–as well they might.
(Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper plans to visit China next month as his government looks to open new markets for oil sands crude in the wake of Washington’s decision to delay approval of a major pipeline from Alberta to Texas.
After President Barack Obama’s administration said last November it would delay approval of TransCanada Corp’s (TRP.TO) proposed Keystone XL pipeline to Texas, Harper said he would focus on Asian markets.
“I’m very serious about selling our oil off this continent, selling our energy products to Asia,” he told CTV television in an interview last month.
And when we’re all paying over four bucks a gallon soon, the American sheeple will angrily say “baaaa!”
Heckuva job, Barky. You really fleeced ‘em good this time.

No rest for the wicked update! Jeff G:
Obama “will not rest” until he finds a way to create jobs. But first, a nap!
And then yet another round of golf, and another obscenely lavish taxpayer-funded vacation. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! This bit, too, is good:
It’s TransCanada’s own fault: perhaps if they’d included in their proposal robots who sing Disney tunes and waterfall showers for all the new workers — as well as assured the EPA, the Interior, the Dept of Energy, and the State Department that the energy produced would be negligible — they’d have gotten both the Administration’s approval and its appreciation.
Not to mention plenty of taxpayer dollars to help ease their slide into bankruptcy.
