Daily Caller: Democrats turned on one another Wednesday night and voted against an amendment that would have given the federal government the power to regulate hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, occurring on state and private lands.

Elections have consequences, I’m sure not a few of them are eyeing 2016 when the “Obama-Nation™” retires from the world stage.

Good Lord, there might be hope after all.
Unlikely. Despite how this was framed, it was going to fail anyway, just by a narrower margin. (53-45, if those 10 Democrats had voted for it). They knew this, and I have very little doubt that the votes they cast were more about talking points for future elections than actual beliefs.
Remember, the President still has his veto on anything the House or Senate may pass – even with majority vote – because he sees his policies better for the American citizens. That is why he is pressing the religion of Global Warming to please his enviroMENTALists voters. He already said he would veto it.
I am waiting for the carbon tax to be implemented … I personally think that those who jog and exercise should pay more, since they put more carbon into the air than a couch potato.
The POTUS cannot veto laws passed with a two thirds majority
To think that the EPA was already smacking its chops in anticipation of another venue for their power trips. No celebrating today. Awww, poor EPA.
Thank you for informing me of this … The President is feeling very annoyed presently.
“POTUS cannot veto laws passed with a two thirds majority.” True Robert, but I understand Keystone passed with 62 votes today, as some Dems are clearly getting nervous, but that is still below the 67 vote threshold required to prevent a presidential veto.

Thats becuase the DeamcRATS are in bed with the Communists and the water mellons(Green on outside red inside)their not about to allow america to become energy independent
Maybe the POTUS can veto but he’ll be doing it in the face of other Dems that voted for Keystone. That will drive the spike in deeper within the party. There’s no middle ground with this “Present” voting self congratulating community organizer. Not a mark of a capable leader.
