You'd think the Obama administration is busy enough controlling the banks, insurance companies and automakers, but thanks to whistleblowers at the Department of the Interior, we now learn they're planning to increase their control over energy-rich land in the West.
A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job- creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers.

I think when the’why’ is answered, we’ll know the ‘who’...
When we finally rid America of this plague called the Obama Administration.
The plague is called Communism and it got its first foothold in this country in 1907 when Vladimer Lenin dispatched Julius Hammer to this country with a lot of money to establish Communism. He formed the Communist Party USA. His son Armand took over after Julius was sent to prison on a murder charge for botching an abortion. His first political conquest was buying Sen. Al Gore, Sr., D. Tenn. Al Gore, Jr. is now the willing heir to that Communist effort.
The Federal government should be forced to sell all public lands outside designated National Parks.
The Federal government can designate an area a national park anytime it wants. Bill Clinton did it by EO and locked up most of the clean burning coal in this country. It now can't be mined.
The areas Obama is after hold more oil than is contained in all of the middle east and it is all on land, not offshore. We ARE energy independent with our own available oil and gas but the environmentalists and Democrats refuse to let us access it.
What right does the Federal government have to own land? The States should control the land.
The people themselves, exercising private property rights, should control most of the land. However, certain geographic areas which are indicative of the unique and varied landscapes in this country should be preserved for all.
That is not the purpose of the Democrats. Their purpose is to destroy this country by crippling its energy production and controlling as much of the private property as possible. Eventually they intend to eliminate private property.
Is that a real picture???!!! I saw it on Drudge, but thought it was photo shopped...
Great comparison- we need to hammer this home. He’s not merely a puppet, he’s a virtual avatar!

This is Obama’s Saudi handlers. There is a LOT of energy on those properties. This is to assure the U.S. is never energy independent.
Utah was huge coal areas. I think it is among the cleanest coal in the world. Clinton did that for the Riadys in Indonesia. Obama is also an Indonesian. Indonesia also has coal.
Utah needs to use the 10th Amednment. Utah would be one of the richest “countries in the world.”
The states have to take the land back using the 10th Amendment. This is the Saudis controlling their puppet because of all the energy on those lands.
Stupid Americans watching ball games and reality TV are manipulated by the TV media.
Fox is only marginally better and is controlled by the Saudis.
Energy dependent, yes! Lets not stop there;
Coal, Oil, Agriculture, Logging, Mining etc.....
How about logging our own forests again (before they rot away)
How about growing our own produce again (rather than paying farmers NOT to use their land)
How about mining our own precious metals (and going back to the gold standard)
US Citizens are sick and tired of being controlled by the radical environmentalist lobby and those in government who make these stifling laws protecting spotted tree toads or whatever the heck they use as an excuse to keep us from being independent.
Purchase an MBR (if you don’t know what that acronym stands for then its time for you to find out).
MAO-bama is trying to re-label everything American as obama-land.
This is VERY Scary and reeks of a pure dictator.
obama-land “O” symbol now on US land

Why don't you just tell us?
Democratic guru Pat Caddel has said on many occasions that"Someone else is driving that bus" meaning Obama.
DeMint BUMP.
I've been paying attention. He's been impressive on a lot of issues.
He's got a couple of hurdles to overcome.
The first is name recognition. He's working hard on that, but he's still not a household name. It'll be difficult to change that between now and 2012.
The second is more trivial, but probably more difficult to overcome: his name. It's an unfortunate political fact that the guy with the "better" name has an automatic advantage among those who don't pay attention to politics, and who vote based on gut feel.
The name "DeMint" is obviously not a total loser -- the guy's a US senator, after all -- but in a presidential race, it's a handicap.
I sure hope he runs. Forget the Palinmania and the RINOs. DeMint is the real deal.
