Make him veto it every single day for the rest of his term.

The public is behind it. He hasn't given any legitimate reason why he's against it. This is a joke.

What a joke. He had no intention of ever giving a decision one way or another, thus de facto killing it.

Now the Republicans have forced his hand and proved that he would rather get donations from the Sierra Club than money for the economy.

What I find funniest is the way Obama likes to fall back on "Protocol" as some sort of legitimate issue when he's the guy who decided to unilaterally declare Congress in recess.

From what I've heard, I think it makes sense to approve the Keystone XL. 

That said, Republicans act like this is some enormous issue and the pipeline would save the economy.  It terms of the economy, it's meaningless.  For both sides, it's clearly more symbolic than anything. 

So, why not use this issue to compromise?  Liberals give in on the Keystone and in exchange, we get the Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank or improvements to the Clean Air Act.  That would make sense, no?

Agreed.

However, I think Obama's made it quite clear he's done compromising.
