Surprising No One, the President Who Said He Was Against Gay Marriage And Then "Evolved" Now Becomes the President Who Claimed an Open Mind on the Keystone Pipeline But Will Now Veto It

President Golf Togs sure seems to "evolve" an awful lot, usually once he's past difficult elections.

An attempt to force U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline is being rebuffed, with the White House confirming that the president will veto a pro-Keystone bill, the first legislation of its kind passed by Congress.

"I would anticipate that, as we've been saying for years, the president would veto that legislation," Obama spokesman Josh Earnest told a press briefing.

"And he will."

A veto comes as no surprise. The White House repeatedly said it would stop lawmakers if they tried forcing an outcome on Keystone XL.

He wants to let the State Department farce play out, in which that owned-and-operated department will tell him whether or not it finds a pipeline to be in "the national interest" or not.

Obviously it is, but they'll say Global Warming, and President Pisspants will thus pretend this wasn't his decision, but rather the decision of an Outside Panel of Experts.
