Maybe Obama doesn't really want to get re-elected and is planting the seeds for that now. I guess he doesn't like a shovel-ready project that isn't funded by the taxpayers.

It made more sense politically for him to "postpone" the decision till after the election. Now we have the President in the position of telling Canada we don't want their oil, while telling Brazil we do want their deepwater offshore oil. It doesn't even make sense environmentally since the Canadian oil in question will be burned somewhere, in China, if not here.

REPORT: State Department To Reject The Keystone Pipeline I admit that i didn't expect him to reject it. I guess he doesn't like a shovel-ready project that isn't funded by the taxpayers. Also it is a national security issue which will resonate as much as the lost jobs. Choices are illuminating, as they say. This shows that Obama's environmentalist base comes first, when push comes to shove. Axelrod must have told him they don't have a hope if the base sits on its hands in November.
