NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has a modest, tongue-in-cheek suggestion for people in New York City who support his agenda: move to North Dakota.
"I said, 'Move to North Dakota!"
"If I could just get about a million surplus votes in Brooklyn out to Nebraska, Wyoming," he said, drawing laughs from the crowd of about 50 people.

“You should see what the Californians are doing to Colorado”
I’m seeing it first hand. A constant parade of Volvos and Subarus with Cali plates with drivers looking like Hot Chocolate Boy.
Mega-dittos from here in Wyoming
My husband would have liked to go back to Colorado. He lived there over 30 years. He had to go home to Minnesota to tend to aging parents. Colorado has changed so much. We like The Black Hills and he can still go over to Boulder to see his friends when he wants.
Yep! It’s terrible out here. They won’t like it. ;)
LOL, I know. The wind out here is crazy. We went hunting a few years back, around Lake Hattie and I swear the weather changed 6 times in one afternoon. Had a blast however.
Having lived in northern MN, we are definitely used to cold and snow, but when a trace of snow and 50+mph winds can whip up a total white-out within seconds (and shortly after all is calm), it is something to behold.
We have enjoyed the winter out here, even though the locals say it's been the worst winter in 30 years. I'll take it! We lived in Southern Minnesota, goodness! That was bad enough.
Much drier here -- just as SD is. Hubby has bad knees that just killed him back in MN --- here is it like "what bad knees".
Even if MN wasn't such a cesspool of liberal crap, I think we may have still made the move anyway for the kinder & gentler winters. People out here think we are crazy when we say "this isn't bad at all"
Now that you mention it. I have not heard my husband complain about his hands and shoulder hurting so much. He suffered in Minnesota.
When we would go back to visit/maintain it, I noticed the difference right away, it was so damp and much colder even if the temps were the same.
Out here, yeah we may get to 100 degrees, but really doesn't feel more than 80 or so as the humidity is so low. Sure do not miss the humid summers of MN. But yeah, I do miss the lakes, I'll admit that.
Happy to hear your hubby is doing better --- the joint pain with the damp weather can be so terrible.
Nah, don't miss them or the ticks !!
and few of the blood sucking ticks (the governor & legislature).
The governor, he’s more then a few bricks short of a load.
I call him governor chicken-sh** --- for his running away from Washington scared after 911.
Course the town looks like it been hit by an air raid, but that's there problem. I no longer care.
I’d love to live in North Dakota. But I can’t, because I have a job here and obligations here.
Welfare Queen Latifa can go at the drop of a hat. A welfare check can be mailed to free housing in ND just easy as it can be mailed to free housing in NY.
But, I will never accept welfare. I will never live in crime infested trashhole ghetto section8 housing. Therefore I must work.
Oh let them come. Only to visit of course.
Let them come, walk on real ground other than concrete, see a few “wild” animals like horses and cows. Maybe even pet one or ride one.
They will drop a few hundred dollars at the local shops and restaurants, then go back to their yuppie concrete jungle and brag about how they roughed it once.
