Keystone XL oil pipeline bill headed for Obama's desk

Obama has claimed he will veto it. There is no justification for vetoing a jobs bill with significant bipartisan support, but the liberal base hates anything that has to do with oil.

The House passed a bill to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline Wednesday, setting the stage for the first veto showdown of the new Congress with President Obama.
On a 270-152 vote that fell mostly along party lines, the House approved the bill, which has already cleared the Senate. The measure will now head to Obama’s desk. The president has vowed to veto the measure.
Only one Republican, Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.), voted against the bill. Amash, a libertarian-leaning member, frequently clashes with GOP leadership.
Twenty-nine Democrats crossed over to vote for the pipeline.[…]
The Senate passed the bill by a 62-36 margin.
