I'd say the majority of people worry about the environment. Not like the "hillbilly right", that just want to rape the Earth for the now, and let the future take care of itself.

I don't think the votes from the far left environmentalists is as important to Obama as the donations he gets from them are. If Obama was as concerned about the impact that this pipeline might have on the environment as he acts like he is, he would start removing the thousands and thousands of miles of it that already exists. IMO it's nothing more than pandering to those that donate.
