What do we think Obama will do?

    Frustrating beyond belief! People get mad at what he does but only in a passive sort of way with no real intention of doing anything about it

    Apparently not. I think they're more afraid of being called a racist than being ruled by a dictator.

    I wonder if the fact that he went to a Muslim school in Indonesia during his formative years could have anything to do with it. That and being raised by his communist grandparents in Hawaii.

    You have a point, however even if he acted the part of an evil dictator would anyone make an effort to stop him?

    I like to think he will do the same as he did with Paris, nothing so it goes through.

    i think the reality is he will fight it tooth and nail so it will be up to congress to over ride his veto.

    he is to committed to his friends in the middle east to not try and stop it.

    No...more like an evil dictator, pretending to be a spoiled brat so people don't take his antics so seriously...as if he's just making mistakes instead of knowing exactly what he's doing...dismantling the Constitution and gaining control as he tramples and steals our freedoms.

    I don't think Obama and the progressives really like the price going down. Doesn't help the global warming cronies that want to milk the taxpayers for wind & solar energy subsidies. Well, on second thought, maybe it works more in their favor as they will need more subsidies to make those things cost effective. Hmmmm.

    So I have a question. How come the feds claim to be able to intervene in Nebraska, but not in Oklahoma and Texas?

    "The project, dubbed the Gulf Coast Line, is not subject to federal review."

    Nice article. Thanks.

    I fully expect him to veto any bill - even if they have the votes to override. One of his biggest backers is Warren Buffett and his railroads (specifically the Burlington Northern), which currently move the majority of the oil in question. The pipeline is a cheaper, more reliable, and less dangerous method of moving the oil, and not only would it create a bunch of jobs, but it would help America become a net exporter of energy.

    I'm still waiting for the Liar-In-Chief to take credit for the drop in gasoline prices. Someone please tell me if the snake has done that already.

    I thought they already have the route, given all the independent shale and drilling companies in the participating states

    you know, somehow I think they've thrown her in as just a placeholder against Hilary or even more clever-a feint. I think there's a dark horse.

    It looks as if we will have 2 more years of obfuscation of the facts by the White House. He no longer has Reid to block the bills from coming, so he will have to show his true colors and veto passage. On some things, there will be some Democrats like Manchin , who will side with the Republicans to override the veto. He will rail against them and say they are against something or other, trying to confuse the public and make them look like the bad guys. Of course, he will try to make it look like he is the benefactor or good guy and the others do not know the things that he knows and therefore, do not know what they are doing. After all, isn't he the smartest man in the world? Just ask his supporters and they will gladly let you know that he is and the rest of us cannot hold a candle to what he knows.

    I disagree, it is not difficult at all to know if he is lying. If his mouth is open and moving and he is not chewing food or gum.............HE IS LYING!!

    Does anyone know if the proposed path of the pipeline has already been purchased? I have been all for the construction but had not till now thought through the possibility that the properties may have to been taken through the evil concept of 'eminent domain'.

    Same thought occurred to me; our community organizer cowers before muslims.

    unfortunately he also seems to believe his own line of bull. He thinks that ISIS doesn't have anything to do with Islam (or says he doesn't. It's hard to tell sometimes when he lying). He probably didn't go to Paris because he didn't want to show hostility or disrespect for Muslims.
