Obama Speech Interrupted by Keystone XL Tar Sands Oil Pipeline Protesters

HeadlineOct 27, 2011

During his speech in Denver, President Obama was interrupted by protesters calling on him to block the proposed Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline.

President Barack Obama: “All right. Thank you, guys. We’re looking at it right now, all right? No decision has been made. And I know your deep concern about it. So we will address it.”

The protesters, who also held up a banner reading “Stop the Keystone Pipeline Project,” were then removed from Obama’s event.
