Congress and Barack Obama

Barack Obama: It illustrated the political headwinds now confronting the Canadian oil-infrastructure project: The president voiced his increasingly blunt disdain, and a vocal cheering section from his party roared in approval, according to 660 News. He didn t bother mentioning Keystone by name. But the target was obvious. The president teased Republican opponents who have made a bill on the pipeline their very first priority of the 2015-16 Congress and U.S. President Barack Obama delivered a dig at the Keystone XL pipeline and drew a politically revealing standing ovation from Democrats during his state of the union address Tuesday. Obama took his latest shot from the biggest political stage of the year, the annual prime-time speech to Congress, with a final decision on the oilsands project expected from him within weeks.
