Once again, Fred got caught in his lies...There's an audible [whrrrr]-[click] and he resets, and then just returns to spewing his lies. It's an amazing process.
Once again he gets caught in the oxymoron of saying it's okay for the people of Nebraska to get screwed out of their land by a foreign company as long as the Republicans give them permission to impose "eminent domain", while saying it's okay for a deadbeat/taker to screw da Gub'mnt out of $1-million in legally owed back taxes.
If this is the "wrong side of history", I'm PROUD to be on it...
(CBS News) Amid criticism he isn't doing enough to beat back rising gas prices, President Obama Thursday said he is calling on his administration "to cut through red tape, break through bureaucratic hurdles," and make the Southern leg of the controversial Keystone pipeline "a priority." :rofllol

Possibly the liberals version on the Koch brothers.
Billionaire retired investor Tom Steyer is planning a $100 million push to make climate change a key issue in the 2014 midterm elections, the New York Times reports.
Steyer emerged on the national scene last year when he spent close to $8 million backing Democrat Terry McAuliffe's campaign for Virginia governor. He funded ads going after Republican nominee Ken Cuccinelli's environmental record, painting the then-Virginia Attorney General as an extremist.
He's also been a major advocate against construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. During President Barack Obama's State of the Union address last month, Steyer's group aired an ad describing the controversial pipeline as a "sucker punch to America's heartland."
So how did Tom Steyer influence the decision by President Obama to open the southern leg of the Keystone XL from Cushing Ok to the refining coastal region of Texas? I don't see the connection.
FYI, the southern leg of Keystone was pushed to alleviate a bottleneck at Cushing which is the epicenter hub of the pipeline transportation network. It did not go through environmentally sensitive wetlands, it did not threaten to contaminate the largest aquifer in the breadbasket of the United States, and hey if it does rupture, it is only Oklahoma and Texas, who cares.

So according to Obama, the landowners of the northern Great Plains shouldn't be forced to sell their property for fair market value, but those in the southern Great Plains don't deserve the same protections.
Liberal politics is complicated.
And the Dog seems to agree with that. It is only the south.

And Fred has to lie again. Keystone Phase III (Marketlink) from Cushing OK to Nederland TX was approved well prior to the Obama presidency, and only required approval by the Army Corp of Engineers. Keystone XL to transport tar sand slurry from Canada to Cushing Ok was not proposed until 2008 and required State department approval which it has not received.
These are two separate projects and pipelines. I am not ok with the ability of foreign corporations to seize land that has been in family ownership for generations as well as the enormous risks to the Nebraska Sandhills and the Ogallala aquifer, either of which would be a disaster impacting the lives of millions should a serious breach of the pipeline occur (which is likely), all for the sake of 35 permanent jobs and higher energy prices in the midwest.

:Confused: So the US State Department gets to make the call on protecting the Ogalla aquifer?
Shouldn't that be the Interior Department or the EPA?
Like I said, Democratic politics is complicated.
