"The knock on Barack Obama from many quarters has been that he's too conciliatory," said Bill McKibben, who heads the anti-pipeline group 350.com. "But here, in the face of a naked political threat from Big Oil to exact huge political consequences, he's stood up strong."

KXL Veto a Strong Move
"In response to news reports that President Obama will veto any Congressional legislation forcing approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, 350.org Executive Director May Boeve issued the following statement:
Its good to see the White House drawing a line in the sand on Keystone, and standing up for our climate. President Obama is right to veto politically-driven legislation that undermines the State Departments independent review process, and increases our reliance on fossil fuels. Well continue to support President Obama to stand up to Big Oil and reject Keystone XL once and for all.
