This is not what the electorate voted for two weeks ago and it doesn海角吃瓜网檛 bode well for future bipartisanship.
海角吃瓜网淜eystone XL is not going away, the president will have to deal with it, if not now then next year. We will work with the new Congress to focus on getting this important jobs project approved. We will not give up until the pipeline is built.海角吃瓜网�
