Not trying to make that sound over harsh, but it seems like that's the logic being applied.
The funny thing is that it is more environmentally friendly to move the oil by pipeline than by rail. So there seems to be some sort of failure of logic if that is the reasoning against it.

I suspect that there is someone making a lot of money moving that oil by rail and the pipeline threatens that gravy train. Because if it's the oil itself that they are against then why not move to block it by rail as well?

This is probably just a classic case of money and corruption and which lobbyists the president is beholden to.
