(Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Saturday morning, President Obama gave a speech on climate change to preview a bigger speech on climate change.
In the Presidents weekly Saturday morning address, he declared that hes headed to the Florida Everglades Wednesday Earth Day to talk about the way that climate change threatens our economy.
The Everglades is one of the most special places in our country, the president said. But its also one of the most fragile. Rising sea levels are putting a national treasure and an economic engine for the South Florida tourism industry at risk.
Climate change can no longer be denied or ignored, said Obama.

I read an article way back (do not remember the source) that The Mooch did an interview in her early marriage years and one of the things she was whining about was not being able to get pregnant. Supposedly this was published somewhere, but like most of the relevant details of Obola’s life, it has disappeared. I personally think a DNA test ... for the girls AND Obola himself, might be enlightening.
Besides the Pythons there are no 4-5' long South American lizards in breeding populations.
Will that Over-Sized SWAMP GATOR find him?
Hope the skeeters are plentiful and hungry!
Is Obama “for” or “against”?
If it involves a pipe line..he is probably against it.
Just mount his teleprompters in front of a pool of quicksand.
lol, only when he needs a photo op...then he drags out his two daughters...He spends more time with Valeria Jarrett...she even lives in the family quarters in the WH. strange don't ya think???
He is going to Florida simple so he can go golfing after a 15 min. prepared speech, read from a teleprompter, so tax payers can pay for it...
note to obama’s...we are wise to you and it didn't take six plus years...
We have pythons down there now, too.
Years ago my parents went to the Everglades. My dad said he didn’t understand the big deal about it. It was a swamp. Mr. M and I went in February. My dad was right. We canoed (by ourselves not a guided tour) half a day into the mangroves and we saw lots of mangroves and that’s pretty much it. Then we road our bikes several miles on a trail through the mangroves and other trees and say pretty much nothing but mangroves and swampy ground. I’m sure it’s important to Florida tourism and I apologize if I’m insulting any Floridian freepers but Florida is way overrated. I don’t feel compelled to ever go again.
When visiting the swamp, perhaps he will meet up with one of those long abandoned anaconda snakes and the two can shake hands.
Somebody put a call in to Wally Gator, we need a little help in the glades.
I hope the Alligators are Hungry
As a disclaimer, I'm a native Floridian. On the one hand, that might make me impartial but on the other, I'm used to mangroves and swamps so even for me, the Everglades is special.
The Everglades provides fresh water for the lower part of the state.
Floridians are capable and willing to care for it; the federal government (especially under Valerie) isn’t needed to care for the place.
He probably would, if he had any. Those rental units acquired as set dressing don't count.

If we get lucky, the slug gets lost in the Everglades and eaten by a gator.

Bunk. About fifty years ago the Everglades were so dry everyone said the ONLY thing that could save them was a hurricane.
The Everglades are STILL with us!
