White House Won’t Agree To Commit To Approve Keystone Pipeline

CAMEROTA: "Your point is well-taken that the devil is in the details as always. Let's get specific. Let's talk about a couple of things that maybe they could compromise on that at least Republicans say would benefit middle class families. For instance, the Keystone pipeline, Republicans say that would increase jobs. Is the president ready to authorize that?"

EARNEST: "Well, I know the Republicans say that a lot. That's not really what economists say, though. What the president has said and this is what we're going to do here, we're actually going to allow the State Department to conduct their regular process of evaluating whether or not the construction of the Keystone pipeline would actually be in the national interests of the United States of America. So that is a process up and running."
