Here’s another little piece of evidence that the Murdoch family buying the National Geographic Channel isn’t turning it into a right-wing property. A forthcoming special Sea of Hope – debuting January 15 – includes footage of President Obama visiting a Hawaiian island to meet with “legendary scientist” Sylvia Earle as she shows him a new tropical fish species named after him.

In the following clip, marine biologist Richard Pyle claims the fish has a “hope” logo on the dorsal fin, and asks Earle to ask the president for his permission to have a fish named in his honor, since he wants him to be “a willing participant in this.”

If named after Obama, they should call it the DESPAIR FISH.

If the fish has big ears and lives off sponges, I could accept this.

Appropriate considering how much that fish stinks after just three days. Of course, after eight years of Obama, I’d take the fish in a heartbeat.

Another freaking backstabbing elitist against his own race known as a KAPOS! You’d think that with 6 million Jews that were exterminated these idiots would’ve learned from past history and would’ve been screaming at the top of their lungs for OVOMITS head on a SilverPlatter after what this demonic backstabbing POS did at the UN against the Jewish people and Israel ...instead they continue to support this asshole from hell!!

I am so glad that after collecting hundreds of copies of NG, I stopped subscribing after they abandoned their excellent reason for existing and adopted the social insanity of the month.

Haven't read the rag since, although I do still subscribe their excellent Map collection.

Even if, in their new Geography the Country of Israel and its capital, Jerusalem, no longer exist.
