Keystone Pipeline decision put off until after 2012 election

After over 3 years of red tape delays, the White House votes 'present'.  A gross abdication of leadership at a time when America needs jobs and lower energy prices.

Wow! Why do I keep being reminded of the Lion in the scene from "The Wizard of OZ", when he is tearing and holding his tail while Dorothy rips him a new one!

 

(could anyone imagine McCain/Palin punting like this? The one with the balls would have made the old man make a decision!)

 

Absolutely pathetic!

I find myself seldom agreeing with you Yankee but I sure do here. This refusal to say no to his base when they are clearly wrong shows incredible lack of cojones on Obamas part. The most disappointing decision which he has made or in this case avoided.
