I hope you saw it.
Anyway, regarding the Keystone Pipeline, here is a link to an article about it. I don't disagree with Obama's decision. It seems like Republicans are so adept at keeping with their strategy that their ploys work. Americans hear the negative side of the President's decisions, and hook onto that, and decide/agree that Obama is not doing what he promised. The problem with the arguments against Obama in the case of the Pipeline is that ALL they are looking at is the immediate lack of jobs by not okaying the project. BUT, if you look at the big picture, you see that it will probably still happen, it will still create jobs, and the reason he rejected it was not because he wanted it built cheaper or whatever, it's because he was given an "arbitrary deadline" that was not a realistic amount of time to review it. There are serious environmental concerns that need to be figured out. I just don't understand why people don't see environmental issues as at LEAST as important as jobs and economic issues. It is absolutely crucial to change our ways regarding dependence on oil, climate change, etc. So, feel free to post an argument if you disagree.
