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
