Hill: President Obama said Tuesday he will approve the Keystone XL pipeline only if it does not substantially increase greenhouse gas emissions -- a surprise announcement ambiguous enough to leave both sides in the fight thinking theyd heard good news.

You allow your opponents to get their attacks in before you have even taken the podium, you set expectations so high that even your supporters may be left disappointed, and you dilute the impact of what you are announcing by inviting the media to second guess your intentions.
