"The American people have shown overwhelming support for the Keystone XL pipeline. With his veto, President Obama has chosen to ignore their wishes, putting environmental special interests ahead of American jobs and greater energy security. The president's own State Department's study has shown that the Keystone pipeline would have no significant impact on the environment while bringing over 42,000 American jobs into the economy. I am disappointed that the president continues to play politics with our prosperity."
