President Obama<\/a> had a reputation for voting ‘present’ while in the Illinois legislature<\/a>. He is continuing that tradition in the way his administration is handling the Keystone Pipeline<\/a>. The real problem with the Keystone Pipeline is that it splits two major groups within the Democrat<\/a> party. The unions want the pipeline because they understand that it will bring jobs and improve America’s energy independence (which will boost the economy and create more jobs). The environmentalists<\/a> oppose it because it involves fossil fuel which they are opposed to. As long as the Obama Administration<\/a> can avoid making a decision on the pipeline, it can collect campaign money from both the unions and the environmentalists. As soon as a decision is made, the donations from one side will decrease significantly. (I’m sorry if that sounds cynical, but that is essentially how Washington<\/a> works.)<\/p>\n

So what is the latest delaying action?<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Daily Caller<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

For more than 1,800 days, the Obama administration has been analyzing whether the Keystone pipeline is in the national interest. The Department of State\u2019s review of the pipeline found that it would create more than 42,000 jobs and not significantly impact global warming<\/a> or the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But that seems to be an outlier view within the Obama administration. Soon after the State Department released its review, the Environmental<\/a> Protection Agency attacked it and said it needed to take a deeper look into the pipeline\u2019s environmental and climate impacts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This has to be the most studied pipeline in human history.<\/p>\n
