Heineman wants president to deny pipeline permit

Damn those pesky Democrats and their "small government" States' rights platforms! And that milquetoast Obama, what was he thinking when he agreed with the Repub governor?

"[Republican Governor] Heineman blocked the pipeline project by calling the Nebraska Legislature into special session as a December deadline approached for the U.S. State Department to issue a decision on a permit. He urged senators to enact a law giving him, or a state agency, control over the pipeline’s path."

Heineman

What kind of politician does this Republican guy think he is? He wants control over a private company's pipeline? What is he, a socialist?
He's what they call a moderate(Obama Progressive) Republican which doesn't really exist. Hes a RINO and needs to go the way of the Edsel.

Mitt Romney boy..
