Obama launches 'Great Outdoors initiative'
Breitbart/AP ^ | 4-16-10 | Frederic Frommer

Posted on 04/17/2010 12:00:48 PM PDT by STARWISE

President Barack Obama launched a new initiative Friday to conserve cherished land and encourage more Americans to enjoy the outdoors.

The president said the "America's Great Outdoors" program will involve a series of listening sessions throughout the nation to solicit an array of ideas.

*snip*

Obama is to receive a report by Nov. 15 outlining an action plan to both reconnect Americans to nature and enhance conservation efforts.

Eight departments and the White House Office of Management and Budget are to work with the initiative to "identify existing resources," and to align policies to meet the initiative's goals.

This is nothing more than a land grab to keep us from being able to use our resources. I'm sure the Sierra Club fools are laughing all the way back to the hills they morphed from. Some of us though, have got the governments number on this one. It's not about "conserving" anything.

"He promised that it won't be a big federal program driven from Washington"

Whew, I'm sure glad of that....

"The initiative will be led by the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency, White House Council on Environmental Quality and departments of Agriculture and Interior."

WTF!!!?!?! If that doesn't scream "big federal program driven from Washington" I don't know what does! Does this tie in with Moo-chelle's running the Government Fat Farms for Kids?

Here we go with the ‘listening sessions’ again. Too bad he didn’t bother to ‘listen’ to the Tea Party demonstrators.

I thought it said, “OUTHOUSE”, not outdoors.

Why does everybody have to do what Little Lord Fauntleroy wants? I thought the government was supposed to be responsible to the people, not the other way around.

Yet another land locking to keep out off-roaders and people with guns. Only the
sierra klub types need apply.

Obama should go hunting and fishing with Sarah Palin, and learn first hand how to enjoy the great out doors.. and when he was finished with that he and Michelle could join her husband on some snow boarding runs... the out doors is great and most Americans do enjoy it without his telling us to... his out doors is a golf course.. maintained by the military usually...

Do you have a map that shows how much US land is under UN control via the Heritage Treaty thingy?

Incredible that the fed own any state land at all.. or at least a reasonable amount intended for specific use and purpose.. and not such blatant grabs as we have seen over the years.

He must have something good plan for them to come back recommending to him—or he wouldn’t schedule the report for right after the election!
