They might. ucrdem Nov 2014 #50

What can I say? nm rhett o rick Nov 2014 #72

No, he didn't "openly support" any of this. Were you listening? nt ucrdem Nov 2014 #120

Is what was posted a lie? Autumn Nov 2014 #10

It's re-posting his own statement, and they are classifying the presidents statement as "anti-Obama" grahamhgreen Nov 2014 #15

nothing weird about it Skittles Nov 2014 #35

I didn't hear any commitment to Keystone: ucrdem Nov 2014 #5

He still doesn't get it? RobertEarl Nov 2014 #11

Obama's implication was that Keystone is less important than it was 6 years ago ucrdem Nov 2014 #14

He's playing politics with Keystone RobertEarl Nov 2014 #25

I think he's effectively said no already. ucrdem Nov 2014 #29

Of course he's playing politics. He's going to "study" it to death. I've always thought so. nt Hekate Nov 2014 #114

Keystone was never about energy independence. upaloopa Nov 2014 #32

No. He just referred to it as positive. And he referred to tar sands as "oil", which it isn't. For grahamhgreen Nov 2014 #13

As I've told my friends after every major news catasphrophe... Last_Stand Nov 2014 #55

One last time. Obama said exactly what the poster said that you guys are all saying is a lie. Autumn Nov 2014 #44

In Full ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #58

I see what you did there, but that's not what the poster did. Autumn Nov 2014 #61

LOL ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #69

Guess it all comes down to what you believe. What Obama said or what Obama said. Autumn Nov 2014 #74

Thanks for providing the full quote. After 6 years, it still hasn't gone through. Amazing, no? Hekate Nov 2014 #113

No, he's saying the opposite, that Keystone is homegrown energy. grahamhgreen Nov 2014 #45

That's why he made the point in the speech ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #59

So let's look at what he really said. rhett o rick Nov 2014 #63

I guess one will take away whatever one wants ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2014 #67
