I don't htink the pipeline is a big deal, not going to make a big impact. Politically, it was probably a good move to force Obama to start vetoing the GOP's proposals, just so we can show that when Republicans block liberal proposals, they are called racist obstructionists, but when Obama does the same thing, he i ssticking to his principles.
I don't know that anyone considers the pipeline the #1 is "the #1 concern", but it was a quick way to paint Obama with the same "obstructionist" brush with whichj he has so gleefully painted Republicans for 6 years.
It isn't the #1 issue. I think the #1 issue is the demonstrably fake gender pay gap.
