Obama says no pipeline because.....
1. He wants to get oil from unstable nations
2. He wants to protect a few thousand lizards who apparently wouldn't understand how to crawl under or over a fucking pipe.
3. He likes gasoline prices at 3 dollars compared to 1.83 when he took office.
4. Apparently some deer are incapable of living on one side of the pipe over the other.
5. We haven't lost enough to China yet.
6. He doesn't want the states involved to make the extra revenue.
7. 20k + jobs is just a laughing stock
8. Wants to save a few sand dunes in Nebraska.
9. Says the gop gave him too short a deadline despite this being in the works and studied for years.
10. God I really despise Obama.
Ps. We have 10's of thousands of miles of pipelines currently in use in this country without major incident. There really is NO EXCUSE for this kind of ineptness.

In late November of last year, Nebraska lawmakers UNANIMOUSLY voted to have the route of the pipeline changed so it wouldn't run over the ogallala aquifer. The bill was signed by Neb Governor, Dave Heineman, a Republican. This SHOULD be understandable to everyone since Neb is a state where agriculture is king, and the underground aquifer is the source of water for crop irrigation.

Rerouting the pipeline necessitated time to do environmental impact studies as well as planning for an alternate route. This work can't be done in 2-3 months, especially considering that it was a last minute requirement that happened over the holiday season.
House Republicans wanted for force the president to approve the deal even though the necessary work couldn't be completed in time. Or maybe they actually wanted to force him to cancel the project because they knew that 2-3 months wasn't enough time to do the necessary work to finalize plans for an alternate route.
You might as well stop. You are talking to tards. The OP started off with, "Ps. We have 10's of thousands of miles of pipelines currently in use in this country without major incident. There really is NO EXCUSE for this kind of ineptness."
So I do a Google search and the FIRST of two million starts off with a recent major spill in YellowStone Park, which I linked to, of course.
Republicans have said this pipeline will create anywhere from 20,000 (John Boehner) to a million (Fox News). Independent studies shows, at most, 65 hundred.
This thread has everything. Tard, lies, stupid. This one is a "fail". Worse, they think they are being so insightful and intelligent. Seeing a problem clearly that no one else really understands. Reminds me of "My Favorite Color is Potato".
