63. So let's look at what he really said.

"There’s an independent process. It’s moving forward. And the -- I’m going to let that process play out. I’ve given some parameters in terms of how I think about it. Ultimately, is this going to be good for the American people? Is it going to be good for their pocketbook? Is it going to actually create jobs? Is it actually going to reduce gas prices that have been coming down? "

This process has been in process for almost 10 years but the President wants to "let that process play out". Really? For how long? And why does he need it to "play out"? Can't he figure it out from what we need to know now?

He goes on to say,
" I’ve given some parameters in terms of how I think about it. Ultimately, is this going to be good for the American people?" Can't we make this decision now? How about asking the American people?

"Is it going to be good for their pocketbook? Is it going to actually create jobs?" These questions have been answered.

"Is it actually going to reduce gas prices that have been coming down?" "And is it going to be, on net, something that doesn’t increase climate change that we’re going to have to grapple with? " Again, he is asking a question he should know the answer to before we go any further.

What he left out was, "Is the environment risk worth it to the American people?" "Who will pay for the environmental damage?"

And you say, "And, then he indicates that Keystone can't meet the parameters:" He didn't say that at all. And if he did say that, then why is he letting it "play out"?

Do you support the building of this pipeline?
