The president's visit appears to be intended to be an exclamation point for a White House constantly defending the president as pro-U.S. drilling.

It will likely take more convincing for many in the GOP, however, given the fierce debate with the president over that same company's

If President Obama wants gas prices to go down, he can approve the Keystone pipeline. The EPA had already approved the environmental impact report, before the tree huggers complained, then the EPA insisted that the environmental impact report needed to be reassessed.

The president is transparently pandering.
He wants higher gas prices, because electric cars can't compete with gas.

pickledude72,

Check your gut.
You can hate the policies, but do not hate the man.

It would be terrible for the President of the USA to be attacked, let alone killed.

The XL pipeline is a potential disaster that should not be built. Much of the tar-sands oil would go to export, gas prices in the upper Midwest would probably increase, and the devastation of the subarctic would continue apace. Just say NO.

WHO THE F**K DOES TRANS-CANADA THINK THEY ARE DECLARING EMINENT DOMAIN OVER THEIR LARGEST TRADE PARTNER'S LANDOWNERS?

they only want to use our maxed capacity refineries to ship gasoline to china instead of easing NAmerican prices.

this pipeline only benefits a few canuckleheads

you know the .1 percenters
