Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. discuss how the Obama administration recently delayed the Keystone XL pipeline review and what this spells out for the pipeline’s future.

2. It's a Sorry Picture of Obama and Kerry

that Pap and RFK Jr. paint here. I don't know when we have had a president with less spine and backbone - or so it seems. If Obama had half a shred of integrity and common sense, he would have said, "Heck NO!" a long time ago, because the cons so vastly outweigh the pros here - it's a bad deal for America, and for the planet in so many ways that you really have to be a deluded optimist, or totally in denial and bought and paid for, to see any kind of a silver lining or up side on the Keystone XL. The single ray of hope offered in this video, the single most positive thing is that the longer a decision is postponed, the more the people will get to know the facts about the Keystone XL, and the more painfully obvious it will become that, any way you slice it, KXL is a bad deal for America and the planet. Just four short words should suffice to totally discredit Keystone XL as a viable and environmentally responsible energy project for America's future: YOU CAN'T DRINK OIL. Any rational third grader can understand that. That alone should be enough to kill KXL, and leave it dead in the water: the contamination and destruction of vital agricultural and drinking water resources. The Global Warming downside, as well as the economic and liability downsides - that we, the USA assume all of Trans Canada's transportation liability without any significant economic returns for us, just puts KXL so far into overkill for any halfway sane and responsible individual that it's not even worth considering. These jokers who are supposed to be leading our country have relinquished all of their God given will and reason to big oil, and are nothing more than their puppets, or spineless puppets who are always sticking their finger up to see which way the political wind is blowing at the moment - I'm sorry to say it, but it's true.
