Obama blocked the pipeline, so, no, this still is fully on Trump.
How Obama got to that conclusion isn't relevant. In the end, it was Trump who allowed it, not Obama.
Stop spreading false information.
Obama Approved Phases 1, 2, and 3. He rejected Phased 4. Phase 4 is the Keystone XL pipeline that Trump revived and approved.
I also posted an article earlier where Obama was trying to get the XL pushed through but he was facing opposition. He made a shift in 2015 after getting increasing opposition. So he went from trying to get it done to changing his mind after dealing with all the opposition.

The pipeline that burst was the Phase 1 pipeline that Obama approved and it was built and finished in 2010. It is directly relevant. Another thread needs to be created that criticizes Obama for approving the Keystone Pipeline (phase 1) if people think Obama made a bad decision to approve it based on the oil spill.
If and when the Keystone XL pipeline bursts, we can make another thread then and discuss it being Trump's fault. This thread should be about Obama, not Trump.
