And Now He's Lost the Environmentalists

The Obama administration gave an important approval yesterday to a controversial pipeline that will pump oil from the tar sands of Alberta to the Texas coast.

Over the last three years, the pipeline has become a central focus of environmentalist concerns, and Friday's decision was rendered at the midpoint of a two-week sit-in at the White House against the project which has seen more than 100 arrested.

To the surprise of very few who have been paying attention. Of course, I don’t suppose they would have been outside the White House had they not figured it was coming.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
