Sen. Hatch: Obama 'acting like some scaredy cat' on Keystone pipeline

By Ben Geman - 12/16/11 01:23 PM ET

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) accused President Obama of acting like a “scaredy cat” on the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, saying he’s getting “pushed around” by environmentalists.

“All we need is a president who will step up and start to lead and quit acting like some scaredy cat hiding in some closet in the White House,” Hatch said in an interview Friday on Fox News. Hatch then said perhaps he should not have made the comment, but added, “That’s what I feel like.”
