“The score is Job-Killers, two; American workers, zero. We are completely and totally disappointed. This is politics at its worst,” Laborers International Union of North America President Terry O’Sullivan said last week following President Obama’s decision to require more environmental study of the Keystone XL pipeline. Unions weren’t the only ones roundly criticizing Obama’s transparent cave-in to environmental activists. The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, the Houston Chronicle and USA Today all condemned the decision too.

Only the New York Times sided with Obama, writing that he “made the right call” by not giving in to a timetable that was “rushed and arbitrary.”
