FILE - In this Friday, April 25, 2014 file photo, U.S. President Barack Obama, left, and South Korean President Park Geun-hye listen to a reporter's question during a joint news conference at the Blue House in Seoul, South Korea. South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said Monday, May 12, 2014, that North Korea isn't a real country and exists for the benefit of only one person, a reference to dictator Kim Jong Un. He says the North has no human rights or public freedoms. The comments followed a series of sexist and racist slurs by North Korea against the leaders of South Korea and the United States. Pyongyang's state media likened Park to an &quot;old prostitute&quot; and Obama to a &quot;monkey&quot; in recent dispatches. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, file)

Days after President Barack Obama touted executive actions aimed at increasing energy efficiency, a bill with similar goals is expected to fall victim to partisan gridlock in the Senate. A bipartisan bill to promote many of the same efficiency goals Obama touted May 9 in California is expected to go down in defeat May 12 amid a dispute over the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
