Keystone XL pipeline: Obama to oil progress as pump prices rise

This article talks about how Obama is faring with the oil industry in his presidency. He is going on a trip to Mexico and making many stops along the way. In Cushing, Oklahoma Obama announce that he is planning to start work on the Keystone XL pipeline before the presidential elections start. The pipeline will stretch from the Alberta tar sands to Port Arthur, Texas. Obama has been criticized a great deal for the rising gas prices in America by the Republican Presidential Candidates like Mitt Romney. The gas price per gallon in the U.S. has hit $4.00 in some States. I think that Obama needs to do something about the rising oil prices, but he is putting  a great deal of thought into different sources of energy like Solar and Wind powered energy, so I guess that's a good thing.
