32. Obama is not against the pipeline - where are you getting that?

That is not the truth. He wants to know more information about how potential oil spills would be dealt with, environmental impact and other safety issues that could occur - as do other city officials whose cities will be impacted by the pipeline.

More information is all this administration and other law makers have ever said before any decisions will be made about a pipeline that may export the oil to other countries and not provide us with that many jobs.

You cannot undertake a major project like this until all the details are worked out. And that is what President Obama has said.
He never said he was against it.
