By Elana Schor The House voted Friday to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, seizing on the momentum from a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling hours earlier that removed the last major legal obstacle to building the politically charged oil project. Now the action moves to the Senate, which will take up its version of the Keystone bill next week. Taken together, the vote on the Hill and the court decision will put the issue squarely in the hands of President Barack Obama, who has put off making a decision on the Canada-to-U.S. oil artery during his six years in the White House ...with 266 House members voting to approve the project, including 28 Democrats.

Don't overlook the "Veto pen". Don't overlook the 28 House Democrats that voted for this bill. Starting next week we will find out how many Senate Democrats will vote for this bill.

Bring the bill into the senate and have a vote.
1. send the bill to the Obama for veto, sign or let it lay. 2. get on record the senators who voted for and against the bill.
Gives the house and senate the chance to see if they can over ride the veto, it it happens.

Hey, if O vetoes everything sent to him in the next two years, he'll leave his real legacy and expose himself for what he really is.....just a community organizer, nothing more, nothing less.

I would send him a bill almost daily, and let the American people know what each and every one of them was, when it was sent up for signature and what the whether it was approved or not.
Keep a running tally and see who the real party of NO is.

Low information voters, of which there are many, will not care, because somebody's uncle said, or Good Morning America said, etc. The spincrazy lefties are agenda driven, and capable of anything to force America to their way of thinking. It may get pretty ugly. But I still agree with you.

Honest question- anyone looked at why we might not want the pipeline?
I admit I heard oil...Canada...jobs....Obama...and like most decided where I stood. Started looking in to it and am not so sure any more.

Kabuki dance.
Most of the dems that vote for it won't stay on to vote for an override.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

As much as I agree with passing the bill, Kenjs captures my sentiment. Ialso noticed EdM asking about ROI which is a fair question. Have we asked/ do we know what are the benefits to the U.S. other than the jobs that will come with the construction of the pipeline.? Do we get a percentage of the oil at a specified price? Are we going to do any refining? In short, once it's in, are there any benefits besides taking tourist pictures?
