Obama supporter Warren Buffet on Keystone Pipeline: "...it certainly seems like it makes sense to me"


Warren Buffet didn't drink all the kool-aid.

Via E2 Wire:
Billionaire Warren Buffett said this week he supports the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, inserting himself in a politically divisive debate on the project.
“I’m not an expert, but it certainly seems like it makes sense to me,” Buffett said Monday when asked on Fox Business Network whether he would support the pipeline if it doesn’t threaten an environmentally sensitive region in Nebraska.
“There are an awful lot of pipelines running in the United States and net, they’ve certainly been a huge plus for the country.”
But Buffett — an Obama supporter whose name has been used by the White House to sell a plan to increase taxes on the rich — steered clear of criticizing the president.
“I don’t think that issue is done with yet,” Buffett said when asked whether he was disappointed in President Obama’s decision to reject a key permit for the project in January.
