I thought it was his first. His vist this week was to watch a glacier melt in the summer sun.
Imagine my surprise, He’s actually been there before. It was 2009. Air Force Uno made a refueling stop at Elmendwarf Air Force Base, on his way to Japan. Obama never set foot off the base. The trip to Japan was the first of many opportunities for President Obama to bow to an unelected foreign potentate. He also gave a speech at “Suntory Hall”, some sort of arena where the naming rights are held by Japan’s “Suntory Whisky”.
In fact, Obama has been to Japan THREE times – the same as Saudi Arabia. But Obama's favorite destination has been . . . (drumroll) . . .Mexico. No fooling. Google it. 5 times. Aye Carumba. I wonder what he and Mexicos’s corrupt government talked about, eh? In any case, now we have a WHOLE lot more Mexicans in Los Estados Unidos, no? Because they are fleeing job opportunities and political reform, no doubt.
I don’t blame Obama for visiting Alaska in the summer, instead of the winter. He doesn’t strike me as a skier, a snowmobiler, or a moose hunter. Plus, if you want to be CERTAIN that the glacier in your photo op is melting, and not in the middle of a blizzard, then summer is the time for it. Obama’s staff pays attention – wherever Gore goes in Winter, a snowstorm is sure to strike. Avoid that at all costs.
Alaskans can be forgiven if they're annoyed at being given the short shrift by our president, however. There are probably a lot more reasons to visit Alaska than meltwater or renaming a mountain. Oil production comes to mind. Timber. Mining. Salmon and King Crab fisheries.
But no – Obama is not the president of commerce and progress. He’s the president of windmills, glaciers, and Solyndra. Obama would be completely out of his element talking to real workers. He even got bested by Joe the Plumber during his 2008 campaign.
So . . . congrats on actually seeing a little bit of our 50th state, President Obama. And congrats on leaving immediately. An early deep freeze is predicted tonight in SOUTHERN Alaska, which threatens to wipe out Alaskans’ backyard vegetable gardens. Link at bottom
