Pres. Obama's veto threat isn't the end of Keystone decision; it's a rejection of Congress deciding

3. Window dressing.

President Obama is NOT going to publicly offer a veto threat against Keystone and have it reported that he's against it if he's not going to see that threat through to the end. It would be political suicide for his Democratic successor, because people will vote for his successor based on his policies.

What we're seeing is sausage-making. He's placating the Canadian govt that's lobbied HARD for Keystone XL. But I have zero doubt that President Obama will ultimately veto further expansion of Keystone XL because I'm certain he's aware that the pipeline already running through all those States is leaking like a sieve, and has already dumped 21,000 gallons of oil in North Dakota - which we, as taxpayers, are obliged to pay to clean up. This pipeline has been an environmental disaster.
