:: THE WARRIOR FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS? ::

“America does not stand still, and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do.”
-President Obama, 2014 State of the Union address
...
"If the President Obama wants to score an easy win for the middle class, he could simply put the politics aside and approve the Keystone pipeline. That's thousands of American jobs right there. He won't even need to use the phone. Just his pen. One stroke."
-Senator Mitch McConnell

*

The AFL-CIO itself --not exactly the most partisan conservative organization in the country-- says Keystone would call for "20,000 immediate jobs, and as many as 500,000 indirect jobs ... without one single dollar of government assistance." Not only that, the pipeline would ease gas prices at the pump which would benefit ALL Americans, regardless of economic class. So, what's the hold up middle-class warrior man??
