Whoever doubted seriously that it would be?
News came out in the Friday before Super Bowl Sunday news dump.
Obama's Hillary's Nobody who will run for higher office as a Democrat again's State Dept raised few objections, well after Hillary ceased heading that dept.

This was obviously not conveniently timed and is also obviously all John Kerry's doing. (Though, if he takes any real heat for it, Kerry will probably say otherwise.)
Citizen's in affected areas say there will be civil disobedience if Obama approves the pipeline.

And not those scummy, low-paying environment-improving government jobs like FDR created in the Conservation Commission, either. Real, private sector jobs. Because tycooons don't import Chinese people to dig in the US {anymore}. Though, there is still time for immigration reform. Not surprisingly, Republicans are willing to agree to import low wage workers, as long as they remain an underclass, with no path whaterver to
voting Democratic citizenship. Best of all possible worlds for the job creators and the Republicans and Democrats in D.C. who represent them so well at the expense of all taxpayers. So, I think propects for immigration reform are looking good.
Fingers crossed!
