1. The pipes are already coming in from Canada

it's a done deal. All the rest is the administration blowing smoke up our asses.

2. When Obama announced he'd wait until after the election

I had the exact same reaction as Cenk.

3. A punter is not a quarterback

This Administration - when it comes to protecting the public
versus collecting a campaign check from a corporation - will
always choose the corporation.  What has BP really paid for
polluting the Gulf and killing people?  The political genius
is to kick the can on the pipeline and make it happen as soon
as the votes are counted next November.

President Obama is a punter - a Ray Guy class pro punter. 
What the country needs is a quarterback.  A punter is not a
quarterback.
