how about the Dims start with the pipeline jobs that BO seems intent on shipping overseas to China......?
The people of Nebraska were against the pipeline because it threatens their aquifer.
Nebraska Governor David Heineman said in an interview on Bloomberg Television yesterday that hed support the pipeline if it were moved away from the Ogallala aquifer. Nebraska lawmakers began committee hearings yesterday in Lincoln, the state capital, on five bills aimed at giving the state the power to reroute pipelines.
The State Departments interest in the concerns that have surfaced is an encouraging sign, Senator Ken Schilz said in an interview after a full day of hearings.
As weve gone through this process, weve always been under the assumption that it was up to the State Department to take on this decision, Schilz said.
President Barack Obama acknowledged Nebraskas concerns last week, saying in an interview with KETV, an Omaha television station, that jobs created by the project wouldnt be worth it if drinking-water supplies were at risk.
Folks in Nebraska, like all across the country, arent going to say to themselves, Well take a few thousand jobs if it means our kids are potentially drinking water that would damage their health, Obama said in the Nov. 1 interview.

I really have to wonder if the Republican governor of Nebraska would be all that concerned about the environmental impacts to the aquifer if the pipeline wasn't running right through his back yard.....
