Hostage Taking

During the ridiculous Congressional antics over the payroll tax cut extension, the Republicans packaged this with a requirement that the President rule on the Keystone Pipeline Project within 60 days. No President can ever let himself be held hostage by legislation crafted soley for political talking points. The pipeline has nothing to do with the tax cut extension and forcing a President to rule on an environmentally questionable project prematurely as part of another unrelated activity, is shameful. So, good for the President who may still allow it to go forward, but not attached to a tax bill or without appropriate environmental analysis. Typically, the candidates jumped all over the President as a man not serious about job creation. So Mr. Romney, you ass, were the Republicans not serious about job creation when they failed to approve requests for infrastructure jobs to repair bridges, tunnels, runways and roads? You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
