Answer 1

Because the pipeline wasn't cancelled. It just hasn't been approved yet. After Nebraska finishes its impact study in August, the issue will be brought back up, and Obama will likely approve it if the threat to private homeowners and the environment isn't too severe.



Of course, by that time, Republicans will probably accuse the president of flip-flopping for the sake of votes in an election year.

Answer 2

How would feel if knew that the majority of investors in Canadian oil sands are Chinese investors? Would anyone accuse the President of selling out America?



One more thing, TransCanada already has a pipeline into the United Sates. See map attached in link.

Answer 3

For the same reason California built the 710 Long Beach fwy and got stopped by the cities of South Pasadena and Alhambra. The fwy comes to the boundaries of those two cities and stops. That happened 40 yrs ago. The state ignored the fact that cities have rights too.

Answer 4

Even though the pipeline project isn't active, it will eventually go through. It was decided long before becoming public. There will be hurdles as it is ongoing, but rest assured, the project will be a reality.

Answer 5

I think what's happening here is oil companies anticipating and hoping for Obama's ousting in 2012. They now that if a Republican takes office, the pipeline will be approved and they just want to have their ducks in a row.

Answer 6

There was a huge impact study done on the pipeline, the most indepth ever done but Obama still vetoed it. Why? Because then that would prove his Green Agenda is a failure.

Answer 7

Citizen, this is a great question. Atheist look to in easy terms have their eyes on fundamentalist -- possibly by using fact this is particularly basic to make the ideals of fundamentalist look very superstitious and in simple terms ridiculous by using literalism, then what proportion fundamentalist do no longer additionally be attentive to the background of the religion itself, and additionally how lots of people who call themselves Christians are no longer any further Christian in practice (that's following the training of Jesus/Yeshua) then a atheist is. in fact they call out sin to others, and placed others down, whilst being in simple terms as "sinful" as those they condemn, even worst by using fact the judgment on a believer is lots worst than an unbeliever, in accordance to the bible. maximum Fundamentalist Christians are not Christian in any respect, and lots from it. how are you able to be "Christ like" in case you do no longer stay by potential of the assumption and innovations of Christ, notice them on your existence, to grow to be "Christ like"? They do the different, they have created guy-made doctrines that thoroughly contradict what "Christian potential". They do each thing, and say each thing, that would supply them the potential to no longer try TO BE Christian. The call and phone "Christian" must be earned by way of self-transformation -- practice.

Only in America do conservatives cheer when the courts force private land owners to sell to corporations

Conservatives were told by their leaders that the project was killed. As usual they researched these facts by belching and scratching themselves and found them to be accurate.

Obama will sign off on it when the payoff hits his acceptable level. What a whore he is.
