Tuesday, 24 February 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C - President Obama this afternoon vetoed the Keystone XL pipeline bill forced through by a Republican-controlled Congress before the completion of regulatory and environmental reviews many of which Republicans have been bought off by TransCanada Corporation a Canadian company specializing in dirty "tar sands" oil seeking to construct a heavy petroleum pipeline that would cut a gash nearly 1,200 miles from across the Canadian border right down the middle of the United States to the Gulf Coast where pipeline oil would be sold on world markets. John "He Da Bones" Boehner went apoplectic as expected vowing apparently to bring the bill back again and again like a walking dead zombie so that President Obama presumably can veto it over and over. President Obama meanwhile retains the authority to approve the bill at any time in the future. Interested readers will find more detailed information in the New York Times article which appeared about an hour ago and is linked to below.
