San Francisco Billionaire Tom Steyer owns the Democrat party and especially Obama. Unlike the Koch Brothers who get all the media attention, Tom Steyer stays in the shadows. He’s promised Democrats $100 million in campaign fund this mid-term election if they do what he wants. One of which is not building the Keystone XL Pipeline. So Obama did what his puppet master told him to do and punted the decision on whether to allow the Keystone Pipeline to be built and cut down this country’s reliance on Muslim oil. Unions, and red state Democrats are pissed off about this. Porker Mary Landrieu for example is a big backer of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Steyer tweeted his pleasure at the decision:

Good news on Good Friday: the comment period for #KeystoneXL has been extended. Now @StateDept can address inherent flaws in its past work.

What you won’t hear about in mainstream media is how Billionaire Tom Steyer drove the decision by promising to spend $100 million to help Democrats in the midterm election who help defeat the project:
With the decision pushed back probably past the election, this allows the Democrats to be for or against the decision depending on their election chances and how badly they need Steyer’s support. Given that a majority of Americans want the project to go through, this is good news for vulnerable Democrats. Meanwhile, American jobs suffer, and whatever economic impact the project might have had on Russia is ignored for the sake of Obama’s political gain.
