Dagny: Feed them and they grow but their beauty comes from genes!

I know I am theorizing and wildly speculating but why would Obama veto the proposed pipeline beyond seeking to appease Greens?
I have a second highly speculative theory.
By benefiting The Saudis in their desire to restrain America's energy independence, hurt Iran economically and send a message to Russia to keep their hands off the Middle East, is it possible The Saudis have pledged to significantly fund Obama's future Presidential Library if he uses his veto pen?
Nothing this president might do would surprise me.
The amount of money The Clintons receive from The Saudi Royal Family is vulgar.
Also, what is happening in Paris, France is amazing, even unbelievable because Obama told us he had defeated the Taliban and al Qaeda.
And then, what about the recently announced public flogging of a political activist of 1000 public lashes in Mecca?
Until those 'so called' Moderate Muslims speak out against their own and demand their punishment I can only assume Moderate Muslims do not exist!
Stop and think about this. (See 1 below.)
America has defended against and defeated radical ideology before. Since 9/11 we resorted to military force and harsh interrogation methods which were effective up to a point. When Obama became president he unwound whatever minimal approach GW had formulated and the Jihadist threat simply grows..
Obama refuses to call Muslim terrorism what it is. He has no coordinated strategy to defeat Jihadists and even , as noted above, refuses to admit they exist because he claimed he beat them after capturing bin Laden. Furthermore, Obama wants to close Gitmo and release more radicals to return to the battle field. He would rather kill them by drones than capture, interrogate and glean intelligence from them.
When more terrorist events eventually come to our own shore I expect it will only be then that serious demands upon Obama to do more will occur. We will eventually pay a very heavy and unnecessary price for Obama's stubborn and arrogant incompetence. I fear public apathy will cost America big time.

Every day that passes Harry Reid proves to be a selfish disaster.
While Majority Leader he prevented The Senate from discussing and voting on legislature in order to protect Obama. Now as Minority Leader, Reid is continuing to screw America and McConnell who has opened the Senate and restored its ability to function as was intended.
As Reid continues gumming up the Senate, the public should begin to catch on and when Reid runs again I believe he will be soundly defeated.
Meanwhile, Sen.Boxer just bit the dust so that is a win for the nation.(See 2 below.)

Closing Down the Harry Reid Circus
Show that a GOP-controlled Senate can get things done, despite Democratic stonewalling.
The senator in September, when he was still majority leader. BLOOMBERG
Were anyone wondering how Sen. Harry Reid intended to manage life in the minority, it took one day of the 114th Congress to get the answer: Exactly as he did in the majority. Republicans would be wise to understand what he’s up to.
The Senate these past four years has been a supermassive black hole—a place where everything good went to die. The chamber was designed as a forum for debate, amendments, deliberation and coalition-building. Mr. Reid instead wielded it as a means of party protection—using its many procedural tools to block every bill, and to shield his members and the Obama White House from tough issues.
And while he isn’t officially running the Senate anymore, he’s still running on a Senate dysfunction agenda. New Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to restore the place to “regular order,” though he recently got a taste of how hard that might prove. Mr. Reid this week again accused the former Republican minority of “gratuitous obstruction and wanton filibustering,” and vowed such tactics would not “be a hallmark of a Democratic minority.” He then proceeded to unleash all the obstruction and filibustering in Christendom to slow Mr. McConnell ’s first priority: authorization of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Tuesday morning—the first day of session—assistant Democratic leader Sen. Dick Durbin took to the floor to formally object to the Senate Energy Committee even holding a hearing on the pipeline, despite Republicans having charitably arranged for even opponents of the project to testify. Having tanked that hearing, Mr. Reid’s office turned around and publicly complained Mr. McConnell wasn’t sticking to his promise to hold a hearing and report the bill out of committee. This was doubly rich, coming from a former Senate leader who barely acknowledged committees existed.
Democrats have meanwhile indicated they intend to filibuster the Keystone bill at every turn. They’ll demand 30 hours of debate here, 30 hours there. And nearly every Democratic office is already busy writing dozens of amendments to the bill—a few designed to embarrass Republicans, though plenty aimed at wasting time. “Republicans have promised an open amendment process, and that is exactly what they’re going to get,” crowed Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who voted on only about 20 amendments over the past 20 months. That was all Mr. Reid allowed.
The obvious explanation for all this stonewalling is that the vast majority of a liberal Democratic caucus doesn’t agree with GOP priorities and doesn’t want to see Republican legislation pass. Then again, most of the bills Republicans are starting with have bipartisan support and are destined for the president’s desk. So why all the Democratic rigmarole?
The reality is that Mr. Reid has a compelling interest in ordering his members to keep the Senate looking like a circus. He spent the past four years telling the American public that nothing got done under him because Republicans were obstructionist and because the Senate was “broken.” The “broken” point he even used as an excuse to blow up the filibuster for presidential nominations.
If Mr. McConnell is successful in using regular order (including debate, amendments, conference work, the filibuster) to begin methodically moving bills to Mr. Obama’s desk, that blows up the Reid story line. It exposes Democrats as the real obstructionists of the past years, even as it proves the GOP is able to get things done. Mr. Reid can’t let that happen.
The minority leader also has a more personal interest in keeping the Senate balled up: his own credibility within his party. Mr. Reid spent the past years assuring his members his Senate shutdown was protecting them from tough votes—a strategy that backfired phenomenally in the recent midterm election. Vulnerable Senate Democrats had nothing positive to show for their time in the chamber, and were instead tagged with the label of Obama lackeys.
Mr. McConnell is betting an honest committee process and a freewheeling amendment system will induce some Democrats to buy-in to legislation—allowing them to take credit back home for getting something done and for crafting bills in ways that benefit their states. Mr. Reid, who already came under fire from some of his members for his lockdown approach, would rather those members not realize there is a better way. Could be they might just want a different, more productive, leader going forward.
These Reid motivations, however, only underline how wise Mr. McConnell was to promise to return to regular order, and how important it is that Senate Republicans soldier on with it. The process will be frustrating, slow and at times risky. But done right, this will be more than just an opportunity for Republicans to outline a vision. It will be their opportunity to show that the Senate as an institution can work—at least under GOP care. That, too, will be crucial if they want to keep it in 2016.
