Speaker Boehner: “Unfortunately this morning we learned some news overnight that indicates that the White House is pursuing a much more disappointing approach when it comes to energy. According to reports the President of the United States is personally lobbying Senators to oppose a Keystone XL pipeline amendment in the U.S. Senate today. This revelation comes days after the White House denied that the President is working to stop the pipeline from being built, and attempting to avoid others for the delay. And it also comes after the President signaled, to me and to Senator McConnell, that he might be willing to work with us on some bipartisan steps forward on energy legislation that the American people support. Now if we’re going to have bipartisan legislation on energy, the Keystone pipeline is an obvious place to start. The American people support the construction of this pipeline. They want the project to move forward. I think the White House owes the American people an explanation.”
