Stop the A$$hole!
Obama seeks bigger wilderness designation in Alaska refuge -— PING!!
Watch out for your Back!!
If wouldn’t have dared tried this kind of crap in Kenya. It must be nice to have the honkies scared to death of you.
But Americans ask:
WHERE ARE HIS DOCUMENTS?
What an idiot. Alaska has more nature reserves than any other state by far.
This is just more political kabuki to pacify the environmental wack-jobs donors.
“I fought to expand Federally protected reserves in Alaska, but those mean Republicans stopped me. Send us money now!”
Nope. Reduce it!!
Reminds me if Bill Clinton and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Which - if memory serves - we later found out was done to help out energy interests in a foreign country.
The next American president should abolish the EPA and all federal ownership of land other than national parks. The federal government has no business owning two-thirds of any state.
“who see it as a land grab by the federal government.”
good eyesight!!!
NUKE THE POLAR BEARS NOW!
The Democrats pushed hard to get Lisa Murkowski elected on the Independent line, in place of a conservative Republican. Good to see her badmouthing Obama now.
To say he is ‘out of control’ is obvious.
12.3 million acres equates to an area the size of Vermont and New Hampshire combined
Snip:
“However, the proposal is likely to face stiff resistance in the Republican-controlled Congress. Murkowski said in an interview that Obama is going after something “that is not possible in this Congress.” She said she sees it as an attempt by the administration to “score some environmental points” and to rile passions ahead of another announcement by Interior in the coming days that Murkowski said she was told would propose putting off-limits to development certain areas of the offshore Arctic.”
“The department pegged the timing of Obama’s announcement in part to recent legislation proposed in Congress and talks involving potentially opening the refuge to development. Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, introduced a bill that would allow for development on the coastal plain. On Wednesday, in his first State of the State speech, Walker talked about working with the congressional delegation to tap oil within the refuge. Murkowski referenced the refuge - and the economic benefits that she said could come from unlocking a part of it - in an energy-focused Republican weekly address on Saturday.”
Obama helping murky.
Noting that the Constitution doesnt permit the feds to seize intrastate land with the mere stroke of a pen (corrections welcome), what was the constitutional status of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge before the feds administratively took over? Was it possibly privately owned land which would raise concern about fed compliance with 5th Amendment? Or was it state-owned land which would raise concern about fed compliance with the Constitutions Clause 17 of Section 8 of Article I?
I suspect that the feds never paid a dollar for the land which would be required with both statutes, the consent of the state legislature also required in Clause 17.
In fact, if this land grab is a Clause 17 issue, then payment with the consent of the state legislature would be required to expand the refuge imo.
Am I overlooking anything?
I’d love to send BO up there, alone, with a tarp and a knife, and come back in a week and see how he did.
Wish the pit of hell that vomited him up to be a curse to the world would re-open and suck him back down. Taking most of DC with him would be a helpful as well - while they are “in session” of course. Working those 3 hour days a few days a week, signing hundreds of pages of bills that are never read, falling all over each other to get on camera for those moral grandstanding moments, etc.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama released an anti-oil drilling environmental video shot aboard Air Force Onean aircraft that has a 53,611 gallon fuel capacity.
The video, which shows Obama aboard Air Force One, is interspersed with scenes of arctic animals and wildlife landscapes, reports National Public Radio (NPR). Its all part of Obamas ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) newly proposed plan to ban roads, permanent structures, vehicles, drilling, and mining on 12.28 million acres in ANWR.
On Saturday, Obama flew Air Force One over 8,000+ miles to India to discuss global warming and other issues.
