President Barack Obama will use his trip to Alaska later this month as the backdrop of a message to the world about climate change, he announced in a video message today.
Obama plans to take his trip beyond the streets of Anchorage and will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Alaska's Arctic, a White House official said today.
“In Alaska, glaciers are melting. The hunting and fishing upon which generations have depended -- for their way of life, and for their jobs -- are threatened. Storm surges once held at bay now endanger entire villages. As Alaskan permafrost melts, some homes are even sinking into the ground. The state’s God-given natural treasures are at risk,” Obama said in the video address.
“When I’m there, I’ll meet with Americans who are dealing with climate change every day, and I’ll talk with other nations about how we can tackle this challenge together,” he said.
Oh boy Obama's coming to Alaska!
Hey look I don't want to alter any long standing plans or anything, but I DO have this empty bedroom in my house now that my daughter is working out of state. I'm just saying.
I mean it's nothing fancy, but it has cable, a private bath right next door, and a dog that will stare at you while you eat in an attempt to will you into dropping some food on the ground. (That's actually a little creepy.)
Not only that but you can talk to an honest to goodness liberal. The rarest of rarities.
And I would gladly bend the President's ear about ALL kinds of interesting things concerning my state, and those who have been placed in charge of it over the years, that he might otherwise never hear.
Just thought I'd put that out there.
Oh fuck! No damn it! Sarah Palin you quit your job as governor, so NO you can't meet President Obama when Airforce One touches down in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteGryphen you have to keep the skanky ho away from POTUS! You should email him and ask if you can interview him for the blog!
DeleteAnyway I hope you get to see him, but I've noticed when he comes to where I live he is in a and out, and b/c of the Krazy Alaskan Dingbat, he prob won't stay long....
She has no damn business being there.
DeleteShe is a nobody.
No worries folks...Baldy has no intentions of being anywhere in the state of Alaska when the President visits!
DeleteShe has her minions frantically looking for a place that old Baldy can do one of her garbled screeches...either a bowling alley opening in Bumfuck, Arizona or RV dealership close out sale in Dumbassastan, Nevada!
Y'all know Baldy is in demand...she ain't got time to meet the President!
Amirite RAM or amirite! LOL!!!
This time can we keep the Secret Service away from Pimp Daddy Todd?
ReplyDeleteGood question!
DeleteSpeaking of Pimp Daddies, where is Todd? Does he have a job? What does he do every day?
Deletewhat's the over/under Sara tries to crash the party - former half term quitter governor and all
ReplyDeletePresident Obama if you see a white stretched hummer coming your way RUN!
ReplyDeleteYou don’t want to be in the area when those drunk Palins fall out of their limo ready to fight since you're the one who sent their mother back to Alaska in 2008.
Sarah Palin, we the Immoral Minority community speaks for President Obama.
ReplyDeleteNo he will not go with you to your sister's college dorm room for a one night stand.
When you've got a smokin' hot wife, who needs a matchstick with a gaping maw?
DeleteYoo hoo President Obama would you like to taste my world's famous moose chili and my blueberry pie?
ReplyDeleteStay away from Wasilla or next week you will find out you are Barstool's baby's daddy.

The search for Bristol's baby daddy is spanning 26 US states and 2 foreign countries.All told 50 million sperm donors are suspects.
Deleteummm not suspects, but victims!
DeleteGo and fuck your hat Sarah!
ReplyDeleteNow is the time for the FBI and Secret Service to start rounding up all the AIP members including the Heaths and Palins. Disarm those bastards quick!
ReplyDeleteI have a big concern about his safety, Gryphen. Big. With the proliferation of guns and liquor in your parts, and him traveling outside of areas that he can be easily protected, and the hate that has been fomented against him for so long, all it would take is instructions from some AIP member looking for some sort of attention to take a shot from some remote mountaintop perch with a high powered rifle (looking at you Todd) We already know he doesn't hesitate to murder people. So yeah, I'm nervous for his safety. Can you speak to that?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that Todd Palin and his idiot wife are being watched carefully by the FBI. Todd Palin was a paid member of AIP for years (even though Sarah tried to lie about that too!).
DeleteHopefully, if there is anything amuck concerning President Obama's visit the girly boy, Todd Palin, will be arrested and jailed for the rest of his deplorable life!
Yeah, I hear Todd swing a mean purse! Be careful!!
DeleteThen you have this fine example of humanity!! lmao

Gryphen, did you catch this article by President Obama regarding voting rights?

Here's what our awesome President is listening to in those generous ears of his:

Please, Alaska, be nice to President Obama. He is a national treasure. Don't allow Sarah Palin or any of her ilk anywhere near him.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
Thank God Parnell was not reelected as gov of Alaska! He'd be horribly disrespectful of President Obama as he was last time President Obama came to Anchorage (military base).
DeleteWe have different people in office now - Mayor Berkowitz of Anchorage (Dem!!!!) and Gov. Walker and his second seat - a Republican and a Dem. Couldn't be a better atmosphere for President Obama!
We just have a nasty Republican majority in our Alaska Legilsature (not back in session until January!).
President Obama will be made to feel more than welcome. I can hardly wait to see him arrive!
Welcome to Alaska, President Obama! And, you too, John Kerry!
Anon at 4:10 pm. Thanks for the reassuring information. What a wonderful event to plan for!
DeleteBeaglemom
No, no, Gryphon. He'll have far too many people wanting to bend his ear.
ReplyDeleteWhat I offer a guest is a cup of coffee and game of Scrabble. ::wide inveigling grin:: Precisely placing all those words opens the mind and expands the immediately available vocabulary... like a warm-up exercise for all the speechifying, but a lot more enjoyable.
Gryph, are you opening a B&B? I've never been to the Alaska, so whadyathink?
ReplyDeleteAre you the President?
DeleteThen no.
Darn, I was going to ask the same thing...
DeleteI have a wonderful home on a small lake in Anchorage and would love offering a 'back up' home to President Obama while here (after you, Gryphen!). Plus, have many friends that would love to bend his ear and we could do it all so privately! Haha!
ReplyDeleteDamn, but I wish I could entertain him while in Anchorage! He'd feel lots of love, kindness, respect and knowledge about Alaska.
Can hardly wait to see him visit our great state!!!
I am so excited! Not sure if my earlier comment went through; screen locked up. So let me reiterate: YES Gryphen as others above have implored: Keep Skanky Sarah away from our beloved President. On another more positive note: If he stayed with you I would be so happy😊. I would know he was in good, safe, and respectful hands!!
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom, I feel the emotion in your comment! You and I have been here so long ... Since 2008, yes? I echo your feelings!!
ReplyDeleteI found this and other Alaskan websites in 2008 just as Sarah Palin was being chosen to run for vice president. Did not know anything about her and not much more about Alaska. Now I know lots and lots!
DeleteBeaglemom
I'm just going to toss this out, I'll trade you one Pope Francis AND one Dalai Lama, toss in a Philly Cheese Steak, Soft Pretzels, a Cannoli from Termini's Bakery and a bell with a crack in it..... for half a chance to see a film of President Obama's visit to your home and the ensuing conversation.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we can start a petition to get this event a sealed deal?
Anyone notice his artful use of a majestic Alaskan Grizzly Bear? Bet there's a fridge with some incoming canned peaches in heavy syrup from Walmart in a little village near a dead lake!
Hey, I was wondering if the cabin our dear friend, Joe McGuinness once rented is available? What better tribute to his memory?
As much as I admire, respect, and feel a connection with Obama's biography, and as much as I would love to meet him before he leaves office, WHY the hell does he want to come to Alaska? It's like JFK going to Dallas where his haters are. WHY? I beg him to cancel this trip to Alaska.
ReplyDeleteWHY the hell does he want to come to Alaska? It's like JFK going to Dallas where his haters are.
Delete--------------------
I feel the same way, I had to close my eyes and hold my breath during the inauguration when they were walking down the street.
Since the secret service doesn't seem to do more than party, I hope the FBI is busy, they can start with the Palin/Heath clan.
Alaska is a state that the FBI and Secret Service will be in force well ahead of President Obama's visit to Alaska. They know what a renegade group of folks live there!!!
DeleteJust another historic day in the presidency of Barack Obama, extraordinaire.
ReplyDeleteThese Marines took down the U.S. flag in Cuba in 1961. Today, they watched it rise again.
...On Friday, the Marines, now in their 70s, returned to Havana alongside Secretary of State John F. Kerry to take part in a ceremony to raise the flag again. It has been more than 54 years since U.S. relations with Cuba were severed, but the embassy reopened following an agreement reached earlier this year between Havana and Washington.
Kerry said that tensions were high as the Marines took down the flag in 1961. He recalled how they folded the flag surrounded by Cubans before returning to the embassy building.
“Fifty-four years ago, you gentlemen promised to return to Havana and hoist the flag over the United States embassy that you lowered on that January day long ago,” the secretary said. “Today, I invite you, on behalf of President Obama and the American people to fulfill that pledge by presenting the Stars and Stripes to be raised by members of our current military detachment.”

For the first time in 54 years, the American flag flies above @USEmbCuba.

Good, now Rafaele Canadian Cruz can go home.
DeleteWhen is Obama coming? Is that why Sarah is enjoying the 113 degree heat in Scottsdale this summer? What happened to the Canadian fishing trip?
ReplyDeletePresident Obama will be in Alaska/Arctic August 31st.
DeleteIs she under a restraining order???
DeleteLike, maybe, she can't come within a thousand miles of the President?
Sarah and SarahPAC should get a lot of mileage from the President's trip.
ReplyDeleteI'm the energy expert blah blah .
Send $50 to tell Obama to stay home blah blah
Kill all the wildlife, blah blah.
How true
DeleteWe're talking about President Obama here.
DeleteSarah Palin will be like a flake of snow as to President Obama's visit to Alaska at the end of this month! She'll have no input, no influence and won't draw mention whatsoever!
I am going to give Bristle every possible Move forward.
ReplyDeleteDear Bristle,
Selling and marketing yourm first abstinence only baby at age 18 ( though most of us now you were 17) is much different than selling your second abstinence bay at age 24.
That's is what is comes down to. People could care less at age 24 if you could keep your legs together and more about who "the baby daddy is".
I think ( even retarded you) can accept the reason things are not the same.
While I can even imagine that you thinking or pretending that the "baby daddy"is someone you have met more than once, at this point it is not practical.
You can pretend to be "pro-life" or just the usual uncareful baby Mama that doesn't know who Da Baby Daddy is. Which is what I will think since the man you were seen with for months dumped you.
KUdos to Dakota for looking at a calendar before claiming Cletus the Fetus and inly signing on for HIS responsibilities VS some other man's leavings.\\ At some point you are going to have to step up, since s=you have chosen to go the public route, "who Da baby daddy is". Your "choice" of a private life ended the day you incinuated that Dakota was the "baby daddy". Good luck Bristle, maybe you should have caught a name that night in Anchorage.
I'm glad Obama's making the trip, b/c of the important message, etc.. .but I shudder to think what our embarrassing congressional trio will do to shame us. Will Don Young show up w/ his helicopter hat on? Will Murkowski try to buttonhole him about ANWR? I wish they would just stay home and allow him to be greeted and hosted by the people who love and appreciate him. We all know how loony our fellow Alaskans are... I just don't want them acting up in front of the President.
ReplyDeleteYoung hasn't announced he'll be in Alaska to greet President Obama as yet (which is fine per the majority of Alaskans because the guy is normally so embarrassing!).
DeleteMurkowski just broadcasted she'll be in Alaska to greet him. Hopefully, President Obama won't have to have much to do with her! He wants to mingle with Alaskans, not fellow politicians!
The other guy - from Ohio - that truly doesn't represent Alaska - Dan Sullivan - probably won't be here either. Alaskans don't even know the guy except for the fact he doesn't represent Alaskans!
What is wrong with Alaska voters? They have a trio in the U.S. Congress that leaves much to be desired!
I'm one of the POTUS's biggest fans, but I'm having a real hard time getting excited about this when he's given the final ok for Shell to drill. If they fuck up, and they will, it's going to be all for naught.
ReplyDeleteBarack Obama’s quiet war on oil
DeleteThe oil and gas industry is in the crosshairs of the administration’s eco-agenda, even if Shell gets its Arctic drilling permit.
President Barack Obama’s enemies have long accused him of waging a “war on coal.” But a very different war on oil and gas is coming next.
The newest phase of Obama’s environmental agenda has the oil and natural gas industry in its crosshairs, with plans to curb greenhouse gas pollution from rigs and refineries, tighten oversight of drilling on public lands and impose a strict ozone limit that industry lobbyists slam as “the most expensive regulation ever.”
The administration still might hand some modest victories to the industry along the way — as early as Friday, for example, the Interior Department may give Shell Oil a final green light for expanded drilling off Alaska’s Arctic coast. And unlike the massive climate rule that the EPA issued for power plants last week, the administration’s actions on oil and gas will be quieter, more piecemeal and harder to track.
Still, the oil industry’s top lobbying group says it’s facing a “regulatory avalanche or a tidal wave” — one that some of Obama’s critics have been bracing for.

This trip is to the ok'ing of Shell to drill, what Barstool's abstinintcy lecture is to her pregnacys.
ReplyDeleteCurious as to his flying arrangements within Alaska. AF1 can land at two airports here and Fairbanks, but I don't think Deadhorse can handle it. I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteDear Jesse
ReplyDeleteWhy would I want to stay at your house when yesterday you wrote that you support 21 kids in their lawsuit against me for not being Superman?
How dumb do you think I am?
Sincerely, Barack
Just saw where Lisa Murkowski has announced she will be in Alaska to greet President Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe bitch is the one that has been consistently AGAINST President Obama and anti women. Alaskans were idiots to have reelected her and hopefully, they won't do the same again!!
Hopefully, our POTUS won't have to deal with her too much directly.
Remember too - she is a member of the most hated U.S. Congress in history! Plus, they've done nothing but obstruct, obstruct, obstruct President Obama and his administration.
Lisa Murkowski has been totally worthless!
