So now, according to the media, Obama (President Obama if you want a title) has lobbied the senate to oppose a Republican bill to (essentially) approve the Keystone pipeline. Even Bill Clinton and his prior close confidants are urging Obama to get behind the pipeline. Obama is citing environmental concerns but the right is alleging that he is opposed to it because it would offset his (pre-Presidential call) for higher gasoline prices.
I don't know what is in this guy's (Obama's) mind but opposing this pipeline is insane! There is no reason that this pipeline should be opposed at the Presidential level. Maybe President Obama really does want higher gasoline prices.
On another front, Mr. Obama has proposed an adequate compromise to the contraceptive requirement for Obama-care. That being said, it will not lessen the outrage on the conservative front. Those opponents, however, are not in step with the majority, especially women, and should stand down. This is not an issue that will win out in the general election, given the compromise, even though it aids Mr. Santorum.
