It doesn’t get more ironic than this, and took some serious hutzpah (via Hot Air)

As Allahpundit notes

The bit about “circumventing longstanding processes” is a reference to the loooooooong State Department review — six years and counting — of whether Keystone, which would create more than 40,000 jobs during its construction, is in the “national interest.” That review is supposedly what’s being “cut short” by the bill on Obama’s desk. Although Sean Davis is right: In an era of unilateral presidential lawmaking, Congress attempting to set policy with bipartisan support (this one got 63 votes last month) itself qualifies as “circumventing longstanding processes.”

How many times has Obama stated that since Congress (you know, the body empowered by the Constitution to pass law, as opposed to the Executive Branch, Constitutionally empowered to enforce the law) wouldn’t act, he would? In this reverse case, Congress has every right to pass legislation such as this bill.

    Congress has every right to pass legislation such as this bill.

    And the President has every right to veto it.

    Teach are you or are you not in favor of building a pipeline to a deep water port to export oil from North America? Go on record please.
    Right now that dilute bitumen can only be sold to our Midwest refiners who buy it at a discounted price which effects the producers badly and consumers positively
    Do you want to reward the Kochs or American consumers?

    So much wrong with what you wrote, John. It’s amazing how wrong you get your facts. But, it is a cute deflection.
