^ But then they might not have voted at all (or maybe for a third party guy) in a very close election where he needed every vote. Votes he didn't get would hurt almost as much as votes to the other guy.
Personally, although I suspect he will take major heat from the enviros, I think he must approve it. Energy independence for a major importer like the US is only half about opening up further US supply. You also have to open up supply from friendly countries where the supply can safely be shipped to the US. Also, he needs jobs, jobs, jobs unless he wants his legacy to be the President who racked up a national debt bigger than the entire wealth of the rest of the world.
Maybe this should be a poll.
Mods?
