4. IIRC, PBO has 3 objections: No energy, tax dollars or jobs in the long run for the USA.

Just going from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and then to China.

The Koch brothers stand to double their net worth from the profit they will recieve from it. It already is an international project.

We're seeing news stories of accidents and risks, as well as overloading the domestic railway traffic to create an economic and environmental crisis.

With it they intend to further pressure Obama. The GOP Congress has put a rider in every CR since 2009 that Keystone be fast tracked.

Obama hasn't 'caved' but if enough states, since they have the right to build the lines, it will go through eventually.

The oil pipeline leak in Arkansas was from a lead that was decades old and was carrying the same materials as Keystone was designed to do. Either the lead was left to rupture by neglect, over pressure or some other factor to again force Ohama's hand.

I am trying to look to the real economic situation that is going on here. This country has been criss crossed with pipellines for years and the owners are all international concerns.

They don't care about us and would do us all the harm both monetary and to our land as necessary to keep going. At times I feel like these people are not human beings.
