"Because this act of Congress conflicts with established executive branch procedures and cuts short thorough consideration of issues that could bear on our national interest -- including our security, safety, and environment -- it has earned my veto," Obama wrote in a message to the Senate on Tuesday.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed earlier that the president had received the bill from the US Congress and intended to issue a veto without "any drama or fanfare or delay."

What's the point of approving this thing? It will make America..what $3.4 billion a year and what are they going to spend that on defense? infrastructure? stupid bullshyt?
This is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.

The whole matter is ridiculous but if the repubs are willing to give Obama some concessions in exchange for the keystone pipeline, just do it and give them one less thing to cry about.

Edit: Actually, it might hurt the prez with the left too much. Whatever, he's probably doing the right thing.
