Obama Lies Again...... and this time most of the Canadian press is calling him out on it.
A ‘pure fabrication’: TransCanada CEO fuels war of words over Obama’s Keystone comments

A day after a vote in the U.S. Senate to approve the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada failed, TransCanada Corp.’s top executive fuelled the war of words with pipeline opponents and President Barack Obama, saying that describing his company’s project as an export pipeline is “pure fabrication.”
“The notion that this oil is going to get exported is pure fabrication by those that are opposed to our project,” TransCanada Corp. president and CEO Russ Girling said Wednesday.
Mr. Obama, facing the prospect of Congressional legislation approving the project, had last week claimed Keystone XL was of no benefit to Americans. The pipeline was merely “providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else,” Obama said. “That doesn’t have an impact on U.S. gas prices.”
Mr. Obama has refused to approve the pipeline since first taking office. Last week, the House of Representatives voted to approve the pipeline, and on Tuesday, the Democratic-controlled Senate failed by a single vote to pass the same legislation.
On Tuesday, the day of the Senate vote, Mr. Girling released a statement that seemed to refute Mr. Obama’s remarks. “Last week,” Mr. Girling said, “I was surprised to read some of the remarks that were made in relation to the value of the Keystone XL pipeline to the American people.”
Mr. Girling added to that statement on Wednesday afternoon on a conference call with journalists. “It’s very highly unlikely that any of this crude leaves North America,” he said.
