WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is pushing to protect Antarctica's fragile environment by imposing mandatory limits on the size of cruise ships sailing there and the number of passengers they bring ashore.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Rest assured folks, zer0 has the really important things under control.

What a maroon

[ClearCase_guy]

It must be nice to be king of the world.

[autumnraine]

Lifting Cuba restriction, limiting Antartica tourism.

I didn’t realize tourism was a really big business in Antartica.

[autumnraine]

HA!

[arista]

Idiotic. Tourists pose no danger to snow and ice.

[OCCASparky]

Maui...McMurdo...what a dilema.

[Tarpon]

When you consider how many tourist ships have hit ice bergs and sunk there recently ... I think it’s self limiting.

[arista]

He doesn’t want anyone to discover that Antarctica isn’t really melting.

[mia]

Does he think he controls the world? When are the other nations going to stand up to this embarrassing idiot?

He probably doesn't want anyone going there because they will see for themselves what a frozen wasteland it really is and no the melting mass he professes.

[Vision]

Smartest guy in the world don't cha know.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

In time, you may only be permitted to leave your residence unit to travel to your work cubicle by way of government transporter.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Seems to me, lifting restrictions on Cuber will be a mistake for zer0. It will show the idiot libs that go there just how wonderful it really is and might actually improve life for the desperate citizen's there.

All in all, not good for the bummer one.

[bgill]

He’s here. He’s there. He’s everywhere.

Does it never stop? I’d give anything for just one 24 hour period of silence from The Great Almighty One and his side kicks.

[Mr. K]

Isn't it a little late for April Fool's jokes? wait... you mean he's SERIOUS???

[libh8er]

[RushingWater]

Hey at least he’s consistent -
Environment more important than people. My parents went there and it was a wonderful view into a creation of God.

[jveritas]

And thus spoke the King.

[Jagdgewehr]

I'm am getting so tired of this sunnuvab*t*h!!!!

I beg the forum's forgiveness for my profane outburst.

[mamelukesabre]

No more tourists visiting alaska either, and no more tourists gaping at polar bears. Obama says. Ya hear that canada? And the rest of you planet killers better watch your step or obama will get you too.

[Red Steel]

Cruise ship passenger going ashore for a little while? Obama is worried about that? Antarctica is bigger than the United States. He’s a clown.

This is the usual statement that empty-headed liberal politicians like to make to feel good and score points with their fellow Commie travelers.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Does he think he controls the world? When are the other nations going to stand up to this embarrassing idiot?

Ya know, I just had a thought....maybe we should give him some credit, this may be the first decision he has made all by his self.

[fish hawk]

Can’t do anything about N. Korea shooting rockets toward Japan and us, can’t get NATO to give more troops to Afghanistan, so go to the third most important crisis in the world today: tourism to Antarctica.

[OnTheDress]

Concerns rise in the 0bama administration about Uranus.

0bama launches a probe.

Klingons disaprove.

Roids expect no relief from their pain and suffering.

Greenhouse gasses are to blame...

[Cacique]

Since when did Obama have anything to say in Antartica? Last I looked there are competing territorial claims on the continent and the US IS NOT one of them. This is a slap to the other signatories of the Antartic treaty who have territorial claims and must approve any policy changes.

[GingisK]

...Antarctica's fragile environment...

Oh, brother! Run naked down there and see just how fragile that environment truely is! Why are our leaders ALL so STUPID?

Besides, I don't recall hearing about the "Antarctica Spring Break Stampede". Are there really many tourists goinf there; and, if so, why?

[savedbygrace]

Apparently, I wasn’t paying attention, and I completely missed hearing about Obama being elected King of Antarctica.

[unixfox]

I wasn’t aware we had that many people trekking across the Antartic. I mean with all the beauty and warmth that it exudes I would think everybody would want to go there.

[ronnie raygun]

Spreading himself mighty thin lately, isn’t he! Is there not one thing that he doesn’t have his nose in? Leaves us all to believe that our “foreign enemies” more or less have free riegn and come and go willy nilly while he tends to every non issue and and bug bite on America’s a##. Way to go your fraudulecy we all feel that much safer.

[Nachum]

The List, ping

[MurrietaMadman]

Commies, Fascists, Globalists...The ultimate control freaks.

It boggles my mind that most people resent controlling personalities mano ugh mano but admire them when they worm themselves into a position where they can destroy our Nation

[TheConservativeParty]

This guy needs to be studied by head shrinkers. He has a lot of problems. He’s a walking book of psychiatric symptoms. Narcissistic, egomaniac, sociopath, god complex, superiority complex, delusional, pathological liar....etc etc etc.

[Logical me]

Is anyone question King Obama is a communists? And is his rule is almost absolute with no opposition.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Your Statement:"....The Great Almighty One and his side kicks."

Consider: Maybe "The Divine One" and his apostles?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

America shot an error into the air.
Zero is still going everywhere.

[silverleaf]

It’s good to be da king.....

[TeddyConAZ]

If we can’t see what’s Not happening there for ourselves, well then, only Obammy and his “experts” can...

[jazusamo]

Being he now considers himself ruler of the world this is not surprising.

[bill1952]

I’m sorry.
When did we gain control of the South Pole?

[The Electrician]

Not one sparrow falls to the ground without The Mighty ODumbo knowing about it...

[cripplecreek]

Chains you can believe in.

[blueyon]

OMG he is worse then a Clinton!

[Las Vegas Ron]

No doubt.

Throw in communist, socialist, marxist and anything else that is the antithesis of America.

There will have to be a new word invented just for this pos

[The Electrician]

It’s our manifest destiny, dontcha know...

[pepperdog]

He is directing those affluent travelers who thought they wanted to go to Antarctica to Cuba! Soon it will be mandatory that we visit the Communist “paradise”, all the better to plan for our future. Yes, there we can view first hand the loveliness of State run health care, the plethora of goods and services of the highest quality, the excess of exotic fruits and vegetables, and the happy people singing all day while they work.

[philly-d-kidder]

I went there flew From Punta arenas chile ..went in a C130 to their Chilean base Remy They fly down a 5 star chef...
Visited the chinese Russian Uraguayan and south Korean..camps...

the people that dirtied the Place with Plastic zZBottles and all sorts of cans and trash.. the Russians!! pigs!! We went around picking up the trash as we walked everywhere!!

[Las Vegas Ron]

When did we gain control of the South Pole?

I think it was right after he told S. Korea not to launch that missile.....only now he's series

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!

His handlers let him decide something!

[FrankR]

It must be nice to have the devine power to strike a ruling on every little nit-picking thing that ever irritated or concerned you, commiebama.

This guy doesn't tell his secretary to "take a letter", he says "take a law".

Of course, all of this silliness is the commiebama slight of hand magic show, to keep our collective attention diverted to silly things while his handlers evolve more sinister plots.

One thing is for sure, like me many people probably never even thought about "cruise tours of Antarctica", but we all know they exist now, thanks to the annointed one...everybody sign up...oh, and be kind to the environment...no bringing any snowballs home with you..../sarcasm

[richardtavor]

So he gets an email from some kook fringe group and immediately reacts by executive decree. The guy is Pavlovian to his supporters.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Are those the headlines in the latest Dingleberry Review?
