NewBostonPost political reporter Evan Lips logged on the NBP Twitter account Tuesday night to offer his rapid reactions to the fourth Republican primary debate. Here's a sampling of what he had to say:
WASHINGTON – A frenzy of orders emanating from the White House has political pundits theorizing that President Barack Obama, currently entering his last lap as America's commander-in-chief, is shifting his focus from governing to securing his place in the history books.
The latest move occurred last week when the president officially rejected the Keystone XL pipeline project, a plan that called for building a 1,179-mile pipeline from Canada to Nebraska in order to move crude oil from Alberta on to American refineries. In order to cross the border, TransCanada, the project's sponsor, needed permission from the U.S. Department of State. (The southern leg of the project, which moves crude oil from Oklahoma to the Texas coast, is already operational.)
