The White House and the White House

The White House: This is embarrassing. The White House has all the information it needs to approve the pipeline yet once more has put politics ahead of policy, just as it has done on tax reform and immigration. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. The latest delay came on Good Friday, ahead of a May deadline for federal agencies to complete additional reviews on the pipeline. This time the administrations excuse is that the pipelines path in Nebraska is in limbo because a state judge invalidated legislation that let Nebraskas governor approve the route. Thats a side issue, and the White House knows its not a legitimate reason to delay a decision. That metallic sound you hear is President Barack Obama again kicking the politically tough decision on the Keystone XL pipeline down the road. Keystone, under the microscope for about six years, is arguably the most studied oil pipeline project in American history. But each time a national election cycle approaches, the administration conjures a delay to avoid alienating key political allies on opposing sides of the issue. Environmentalists oppose the pipeline; Big Labor favors it. Members of his party dont want to be pinned down with the midterm elections on the horizon. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
