WASHINGTON (AP) -- Defying the Republican-run Congress, President Barack Obama rejected a bill Tuesday to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, wielding his veto power for only the third time in his presidency.

Obama offered no indication of whether he'll eventually issue a permit for the pipeline, whose construction has become a flashpoint in the U.S. debate about environmental policy and climate change. Instead, Obama sought to reassert his authority to make the decision himself, rebuffing GOP lawmakers who will control both the House and Senate for the remainder of the president's term.

He is strongly beholden to his various extreme interest groups. The next two years are his opportunity to transform America, by any means at his disposal.

Weak military, lousy foreign policy and relations, illegal immigration, welfare dependency, healthcare dependency, trash the Constitution.

Screw Obama.  Why not start building the pipeline anyway?

After Obama is gone, connect the damned thing to each State and of course, to the Canadian side.   :whistle:

So long as no oil travels through it, Obama and the Democrats can go straight to hell.   Then on January 20, 2017...about noon....turn the damned thing on.
