Hmmm … half a pipeline. That’s useful. Not sure how President Obama expects solve the fuel crisis and/or jobs crisis with half an oil pipeline, but hey.
This news, naturally, was ripe for the mockage.
Swell! We'll use buckets to bring it down from Canada! RT @brikeilarcnn BREAKING: Obama to expedite southern half of Keystone XL Pipeline

Obama to fast-track southern half of the Keystone pipeline. Surely gas prices will fall immediately. http://t.co/ce2LJSBf

Biden: Obama's new plan to build half of the Keystone pipeline is the most audacious plan in the past 250 years.

FLASH: Obama only half-killed Osama Bin Laden. 🙁

Inspired by Obama's half-pipeline, I'm going to install a sprinkler system but not hook it up to a water supply.

@ExJon They'll just shoot the oil in a 850 mile arc to southern pipeline. And they said pee-aiming wasn't a practical skill.

Building only the last half of a pipeline is like building only the top half of a boat. #keystone

Isn't having the southern half of a pipeline like only having the upper half of a cup?

Half a pipeline approved by half a president? Yeah that pretty much makes sense.

I'm digging these new Obama half-policies. Unfortunately – and in spite of a tired cliche – Sandra Fluke is now half-pregnant.

@ExJon So are we building a pipeline not connected to anything?
— Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) March 20, 2012
So, Obama will approve half of Keystone pipeline that's already underway, but ignore part that actually gets to Canada/oil?
— Rory Cooper (@rorycooper) March 20, 2012
We're building half a pipeline. If Obama only spent half of his budget, we'd be in pretty good shape.

So now the President is for the Keystone XL pipeline? I was against the pipeline before for I was for the pipeline?

What if they build a halfpipe all the way to the tar sands?

What a complete opportunist!! #ABOUTTIME @PoliticalTicker: Obama to fast track southern half of Keystone XL Pipeline – http://t.co/tpkijaNj
— Karen, RN (@kdubrn) March 20, 2012
So is Obama going to build the inside half of the pipe first or the outside half?
— Jim Jamitis (@anthropocon) March 20, 2012
Americans should respond to Obama approving building half the pipeline by giving him half the votes needed for reelection.

#ObamaHalfPolicies Death panels now just 50% deathy.

Lemme get this straight. Obama is fast tracking half of a pipeline that he is unsure he can ever find a satisfactory route to complete?

The most audacious half-project in 500 years! MT @DanFosterNRO @brikeilarcnn Obama to expedite southern half of Keystone Pipeline #keystone

#ObamaHalfPolicies We're going to open up ANWR for drilling, but only to Black & Decker.

I'm glad Obama only gave half those guns to Mexican cartels. Whew.

With this latest move, the president has managed to simultaneously tick off opponents of the Keystone XL Pipeline (who view it as a betrayal of their — and his own — values) and supporters of the pipeline’s construction. He still thinks he can have his arugula and eat it, too.
