Obama is either incompetent, insane or just downright evil. He is trying to bring us down to our knees with this rigid ideology of his and this BS about Globull warming aka climate change. People need to vote out that party of his come 2016 or help in putting that final nail in our coffin. and I knew (because I lived there for 15 years) the people in Alaska wouldn't take kindly to this man. for one: they are a red state, for two: they don't take kindly to thug politicians who thinks themselves G-d and doesn't LISTEN to the people he Represents and instead acts more like a Dicktator and three: having some idiot President telling them they can't drill on THEIR OWN LANDS. oh youbetcha. Vote them out come 2016
SNIP:
As President Barack Obama heads to Alaska to preach his gospel of global warming, he is meeting what some might think to be unexpected opposition: Alaska's native people.
The Washington Times reports that native groups in Alaska, including those that hold resources rights for ANWR, the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, want to be able to develop their resources.
Alaska state Rep. Benjamin Nageak, a Barrow Democrat who was born in ANWR and is a member of the Inupiat tribe, objected to the president’s proposal when it was announced earlier this year.
“We have thousands and thousands of acres of land that our people in the state of Alaska, especially in ANWR, have title to, and [they] cannot even use that resource to enrich themselves,” Mr. Nageak said. “That is wrong. When you give the people the ability to enrich themselves, you don’t lock up their lands so they don’t do anything else but just sit on it, and nothing comes out of it except the renewable resources that we depend on.”
The president has not visited Alaska since coming to office other than to refuel Air Force One.
