So your theory is he said no to spite Republicans. And you are ok with that, when jobs could have been created. Got it.Initially, Obama did not oppose Keystone. He was just unwilling to fast track waivers of environmental regulations to build it
But then the rightwing media got ahold of it. Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity and company gave it round the clock coverage demanding that Obama do something NOW! The Republicans in Congress picked up the call and drew a line in the sand....You must approve Keyston NOW
Once it became a political showdown, Obama had little choice but to tell Republicans to stick it
Why are Republicans so politically inept?
Thats the way politics work
Make Keystone a do or die political decision and you get a do or die result
