Keystone XL looms as Obama wants to cut delays on big projects

President Obama said Friday he wanted to put more Americans back to work by slashing the amount of time it takes to grant federal approval for big job-creating projects.

But Obama’s choice of venue for his remarks of a manufacturing company that makes mining and pumping equipment provided fodder for Republicans. They pointed out that its president had just the day before testified on Capitol Hill in support of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which the Obama administration has delayed for years.

**Opinion**

If approved, which I don't support, it should in no way be considered to be a big job-creating project.  The amount of jobs it would create is meager.
