Lifting Cuba restriction, limiting Antartica tourism.

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

Idiotic. Tourists pose no danger to snow and ice.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
