9. He's going to say that "if the answer needs to be given right now, the answer is no"

He's going to say that he will not be rushed into anything by the Republicons, and that union workers need to understand that. He'll hold out hope that if proper environmental studies are done (by 2013) the answer could be "maybe".

At least that's what I get from reading between the lines. He'll have a much harder time if Rethugs insist on approval of the pipeline as a condition of extending UC, the FICA tax cut and the doc fix beyond some short 2-3 month period. I have a feeling that after the ass-whuppin' the Repukes took today, the tea party will be much better prepared in a couple of months to deal with Boner.
