GOP cries foul over Obama's defiance

I love how, after performing the highest number of filibusters and other obstructive measures on record, the GOP is now crying foul, now that Obama has stated a resounding "No!" To many of the demands they have.

He surprised everyone with a new climate deal with China that the GOP slammed as costly and "ridiculous." He popped up on video to discuss new Internet regulations that may spark another row. He refused to budge on approving the Keystone XL pipeline to take oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. He may veto a bill on the project that Congress is expected to pass this week.

While in Asia, the president debunked the idea that the plan, opposed by environmentalists in his political base, would create lots of jobs and lower gas prices.
