"Appearing at the home of an outspoken critic of the Keystone XL pipeline, President Obama on Wednesday night told a group of high-dollar donors that the politics of the environment "are tough."

Mr. Obama appears to be leaning toward the approval of the pipeline, although he did not specifically mention it to the donors. But he acknowledged that it is hard to sell aggressive environmental action — like reducing pollution from power plants — to Americans who are still struggling in a difficult economy to pay bills, buy gas and save for retirement."*

Will Obama even try to stop the environmentally devastating Keystone XL? Meeting with donors who oppose the Keystone pipeline, he pretty mush surmised that caring for the environment is "inconvenient," but we should definitely vote for more Democrats to be in office. Why? Whose interests does that protect? Does Obama do everything corporations tell him to do? Cenk Uygur breaks down the piping hot BS.
