Report: Obama to Delay Keystone XL Pipeline 
--------------------------------------------


 
President Obama was greeted with protests against the proposed Keystone
XL pipeline on Friday during a visit to South Dakota. A member of the
Cowboy and Indian Alliance said activists were heeding Obama's call on
Americans to engage in politics.

Aldo Seoane: "I think it's us enforcing our rights, our freedom of
speech to be able to address the president. he actually made a statement
encouraging people to seek change, and OUT: to address it head on."

Obama has delayed a final decision on the Keystone XL multiple times
during his presidency. There are now reports he will wait until after
Canada's federal election in October so as not to be seen as interfering
in Canadian politics. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has urged
Obama to approve the pipeline.
