The president didn't lie - your republican boys did. Potus did the right thing. Get used to it.

I guess the Republitards should regroup now, and vote to defund Obama Care for the 58th or 59th time.

Another pipeline would not do anything to reduce the amount of oil being transported by train or truck.
The amount of oil now shipped by train has skyrocketed. What the oil industry should do is show some responsibility for the horrible disasters they have caused. They should use stronger, safer train containers, reduce speed, and improve safety overall and improve quality of their existing pipes first, at least.
MORE oil coming from XL is completely the wrong answer to give to the irresponsible oil industry.

This kind of pipeline is very different. The path it takes and the content it would have carried are very different.

Correct! It's amazing how many people keep overlooking this fact.
