Why Is White House Stalling Energy Measures?

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

It occurred to me recently that President Obama and House Democrats managed to force ObamaCare onto the American people in just over 400 days.

Yet, it's been over 1,600 days since the application for the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada was submitted to the State Department — and the administration continues to stall on approving or disapproving the project.

In the case of ObamaCare, the administration acted quickly to ensure Congress passed legislation that then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi admitted needed passage before "we can find out what is in it."

By contrast, the administration persists in delaying approval of projects and agreements with our North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico. Not only do we actually know what is in these projects, but they would result in tangible and clear benefits to the U.S. economy and our national security interests.

Because of this, as chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I recently convened a hearing about how we can enhance our existing partnerships with both Canada and Mexico in pursuit of U.S. energy security, increased investment opportunities and high-paying jobs for the American people.
