Denial of pipeline project costs U.S. jobs

President Obama and his liberal entourage just said no to the Keystone pipeline. Canadian oil coming to our country would generate 20,000 jobs and much-needed oil/gas to get away from foreign oil, which all Americans want.
How is it Obama can fast-track a Solyndra loan, where thousands of people lost their jobs and cost taxpayers $500 million, along with the previous administration saying it was a financial disaster, yet stop a project between Canada/USA with nothing but good results for Americans?
This is so typical of this president and his liberal socialization of our country that I wonder how any logical-minded American can even think about giving him more time to move us to a full-blown European-style country.
