House Republicans pushed through a bill Wednesday to bypass the president to speed approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas. Democrats criticized the legislation as a blatant attempt to allow a foreign company to avoid environmental review.
The bill was approved, 241-175, largely along party lines.
Republicans said the measure was needed to ensure that the long-delayed pipeline, first proposed in 2008, is built.

After five years, the mentally deficient individual in the Oval Office still can’t make up his mind. Democrats want to keep purchasing oil from terrorist supporting countries in the Middle East.
That oil will not be used if we don’t build the pipeline. I mean who ever heard of putting oil on a ship and shipping it half way around the world. That would produce to much CO2 if China did that so they won’t do it.
Bystander in Chief.
Somehow he is never involved, just always nearby, having a smoke.
Or playing golf, AGAIN!!
How many more environmental reviews do those morons need for that project? Everyone approves the project except the Chicken Little crowd, but they think humans breathing is bad for the planet.

He is one butt naked emperor with a passion for crying wolf.
