Obama is just infuriating. I am not a Trump supporter but the handling of KXL and now DAP is shameful. I was a big supporter when he came to office, but now I am glad to see him go.

Another company politically interfered with because a few vocal idiots illegally camp and make a ruckus. Rule of law? Not in Obama's world.

Pipeline experts said it was extremely rare for an administration to intervene in a permitting process typically handled by career civil servants. The advanced stage of the project’s construction made the Obama administration’s move even more unusual, and experts said they believed it could be easily overturned.

“Clearly this is being directed politically from the administration,” said Brigham McCown, a former top pipeline administrator for the Transportation Department during the George W. Bush administration. “What it says is that even if you have your permits in hand, the government might change the rules on you once construction is almost done.”
