Oklahoma lawmakers had a lot to say after the President's speech in Cushing today.

Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe says President Obama's push for the pipeline project is all politics.

"He has opposed the pipeline, he's opposed drilling, he's opposed fossil fuels, and this is his effort to minimize that as a negative in his re-election campaign."

Meantime, Governor Mary Fallin is also criticizing President Obama's speech.

She says "In this case the president's 'support' means that he will not actively use the federal bureaucracy to sabotage this project as he has so many others. This kind of intermittent 'support' for the industry is not good enough."
