WASHINGTON (AP) — Tennessee’s Republican Senator’s are reacting strongly to President Barack Obama’s decision to, at least temporarily, block the $7 billion Keystone oil pipeline.
Lamar Alexander says he can’t understand why the president failed to move ahead on a project that would, as the Senator put it, “...make us less reliant on oil from hostile countries.”
Senator Bob Corker was even more scathing, saying the president’s decision is election year politics and concluding, “...we really need the energy and the jobs.”
