Speaking at Sunday's "Forward on Climate" march in Washington, D.C., President Obama's former Green Jobs czar, Van Jones, delivered a message to his former boss on approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline. "The decision to let this pipeline come through America is the most fateful decision you'll ever make," Jones says. "If you let this pipeline go through, Mr. President, the first thing it runs over is the credibility of the President of the United States of America."
