Keystone veto prolongs Obama's war on the middle class

Fuel Fix:
President Barack Obama on Tuesday vetoed legislation that would have authorized Keystone XL, handing a big defeat to congressional Republicans and oil industry leaders who have pushed for the pipeline.

But the fight over the $8 billion project is far from over, with Republicans vowing to try again to force construction and a White House spokesman stressing that Obama’s veto does not foreclose an eventual permit for TransCanada’s proposed border-crossing pipeline.

The action marked only the third time Obama has vetoed legislation since moving into the White House six years ago.

In a message to the Senate, Obama said he was vetoing the legislation because it would “circumvent longstanding and proven processes for determining whether or not building and operating a cross-border pipeline serves the national interest.”
...
Obama's veto message continues his bad faith arguments against  allowing the pipeline which should have already been competed were it not for his sell out to the anti energy left.  The death by analysis approach shows his lack of strategic thinking and cowardice.
