#2 'The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will forever be grateful to the Obama administration for this historic decision.'

I seem to remember the Native Americans being grateful for historical administration 'decisions', until they became mugged by reality.

#3 A big lefty dream has always been to check off on their tax returns what they don't want their tax money to be spent on. Time to make that a reality. Blue regions that don't like energy development or defense spending should get their wishes, with all the ramifications that follow from those choices.

#4 Obama is given credit but there may more to it as he also called in the Feds in the first place. Trump has already done more than O in 8 years before he is even inaugurated. He advocates energy independence, has shares in DAPL, AND called in the North Dakota governor....he is open to outside ideas and at least listens to legitimate concerns over the Ogalala Aquifer. What about other solutions, like maybe a refinery built outside the sacred area near the drilling site? He also plans infrastructure improvements that can generate even more blue-collar jobs plus the shortage of housing can be addressed by a builder. It is an art to get the restless Natives to make a deal with the government and O has done nothing constructive, imho.
