(CNS NEWS) — “It takes a special kind of politician to be able to hold a photo-op for a project he’s rejected – twice – and personally lobbied members of Congress to block. The American people are in for just such a spectacle today, as the president continues his tour de farce public relations adventure,” House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday.
President Barack Obama, making a campaign stop in Cushing, Okla., will declare his support for the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline — which will not connect to Canada’s oil supply unless Obama approves the critical northern portion, which he has twice refused to do.
According to Boehner, Obama “will strain all credibility” on Thursday “by declaring his unwavering support for a private-sector project that he’s single-handedly prevented from being completed.”
