Republican pollster Dan Judy says hammering Obama for avoiding action on Keystone is smart politics for GOP lawmakers.
“Republicans also see this as basically a naked ploy [by] Obama to his base, and really sacrificing a project that would provide thousands of jobs to appease liberal, left-wing enviros,” Judy said Thursday of the delayed pipeline decision.
“It fits nicely into the theme they would like to create that Obama is in 100 percent campaign mode, and is more interested in shoring up his political base than he is about a project that would create jobs,” he said.
