| You have not seen the last of me Alaska. |
Right off the bat, I’ll note that I’ve got to come back here once I’m done being President.
You just can’t see Alaska in three days.
Well that's the understatement of the year.
Look I know that for many of the people in the lower forty eight Alaska's reputation has been forever besmirched by Sarah Palin. (Why do you think we all worked so hard to distance ourselves from her?)
But Alaska is truly a unique place, whose beauty transcends ideology or political differences.
Sure we have perhaps more than our fair share of lunatics and stupid people, but this is a VERY big state. Fd you don't want to see them, trust me you won't see them.
Because they are everywhere.
And the scenery?
So of course President Obama is coming back. How could he not?
And just like he will not be able to forget us, we also will not be able to forget him.
Sadly for him however the portion of his trip that will be forever ingrained in our memories is the time the fish jizzed on his boots.
Because THAT was too damn funny!
I don't think I've ever seen President Obama look so happy in photos in a long time . . . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd most definitely the fish thing was hilarious!
I have to admit because I sometimes have the humor of a stoned teen-age boy I did crack up over the fish, erm, thing. At least President Obama wasn't wearing a blue dress.
DeleteAnd he looks just precious with those little kids.
Jennifer K
I noticed that also. He looks so relaxed and happy with that grin he has that makes me weak in the knees.
DeleteClearly the people loved him and his enormous effort to bring attention to their needs. Who knows, maybe it'll turn Alaska blue, now would that be a kick in the ass to the witch from wasilla.
So now Alaska can be proud again with her out of the picture. In those 3 days did her name come up ANYWHERE, by ANYONE? Not one person, one reporter, NO ONE spoke her name, and that is such a GOOD THING! She thought she 'owned' Alaska, but it become very clear she is barely an afterthought by it's citizens. They will forever remember their president singing their praises to the world.
'I loved Alaska and met so many inspiring people. Have to keep up the fight on climate change for their sake—and ours.'

Gryph,
DeleteI figured the same, he will be back. Right about now he is scouring Amazon for everybook on Alaska so I sent him a couple of suggestions, A wolf called Romeo, and Among Wolves by Gordon Haber (who died when his plane crashed in Denali in 09). Yep! Alaska gets under your skin and there is NO PLACE like it anywhere. And now its "Obama's Alaska"! I am more impressed than ever at how Alaska rolled the red carpet out for him, beaming smiles everywhere! Everyone so nice to him. Yep he will be back. Alaska gets under your skin. You can't visit just once and its like a Fever! LOL!
So now Alaska can be proud again with her out of the picture. In those 3 days did her name come up ANYWHERE, by ANYONE?

A idiot from the ADN posted Pissy's blog and everyone ignored it or comments were basically for her to STFU, etc.
The Payme's REALLY embarrassed themselves by not being in the state and being chickenshit and hiding out, and squeezing that turd of a blog post out by Sarah/Bitchol.
Really, could she be anymore stupid?
Unless the SS &FBI etc told her and Tawdry to stay away. But still that blog post was so childish and sour grapes whining....she should be so flippin' embarrassed. But we all know, YOU can't embarrass a palin. The Brawl, the Fake baby belly, fake blow up butt & boobs. Its is simply not possible to embarrass them. To be embarrassed you must have a brain & awareness which they LACK completely.
Stop hunting wolves and you might get some of my cash. Until then, F Alaska.
ReplyDeleteYou're a 'glass half empty' kinda person, aren't you?
DeleteNeither you or your money dictate what Alaska does.
DeleteAnonymous9:09 AM
DeleteI would suggest you write/email the new Gov and tell him how you feel. You may be surprised. I get free AK mags, cruiseship offers b/c my views are similar to yours. In spite of what a few trollish types talk, AK depends on tourist biz. Oil and tourist THAT is IT.
Email that Gov. You may be surprised especially now that there is one with a brain at the helm.
I live in Maryland. My husband and I recently took an RV trip through the Southwest as far as Las Vegas over four weeks this summer. Has anyone RV'd from thelower 48 to Alaska. Can anyone relate must-see places or tips if one would RV that far? Thanking you in advance.
ReplyDelete66gardeners
66gardeners, this is a series of videos by a very personable couple moving to AK, and they document it the entire way. Many parts to it, but well worth the views and laughs of their trip!

Yes I have. My advice to you would be to take an extra spare tire on a rim so you have two tires for your RV. Also, if you don't have a motorcoach and are towing a travel trailer or 5th wheel, also bring two spares ( both on rims) for your tow vehicle. Be prepared for the RV Parks to be much more basic than the ones you most likely stay at in the lower 48 and if you have a big rig you may be very limited on your choices.
DeleteEnjoy yourself, give yourself lots of time, I would try for more than 4 weeks though.
Bristol the Pistol drove with young Tripp all the way from Wasilla Alaska to Hollywood California. Just Bristol and Tripp. Now she is legendary as an independent frontier woman.
Deletethank you Mildred
Delete66gardeners
I love our President so much. I also still want to see Alaska, and nothing, not even a Palin, can taint my enthusiasm. Palin in not important enough to even consider as part of my plans. I will see Alaska before I'm much older; I am sure of it.
ReplyDeleteYes the fish thing was funny, just so glad he got to experience this beautiful state of ours and no sighting of the wasilla wendigo to mar his memory!
ReplyDeleteYou can not see alaska in 3 months
ReplyDeleteBest Quote EVER.....
ReplyDelete"I think he likes me"
DeleteAnd yes it was a "humpy"
So funny..
Right off the bat, I’ll note that I’ve got to come back here once I’m done being President.
ReplyDelete- President Obama
President Obama we would love to roll out the "Welcome Back To Alaska President Obama" red carpet, but make sure you bring a detail of Secret Service agents to cockblock the Palins.
We know you read about the Palin Family Drunken Brawl and how the Palins fell out of their stretched white limo and disturbed a neighborhood block party.
PS, make sure your agents are not any of the infamous 2008 Secret Service agents that was up here with you know who. You don’t want the SS agents that can be blackmailed into looking the other away by Wasilla's Pimp Daddy. We want you to be safe while visiting.
Meanwhile, Alaskans' message to the Palins:
DeleteGet out and STAY out!
Not to worry. Michelle can kick allll their asses.

BREAKING! Her faux christianist bigoted sorry ass is going to jail...INDEFINITELY! Let's see how long she holds out when REALITY bites her bullshit 'stance' on gay marriage. I bet she doesn't last a fortnight.Kim Davis, the defiant Kentucky county clerk, was found in contempt of court and taken into federal custody.
ReplyDeleteU.S. District Court Judge David Bunning ordered Davis, the Rowan County clerk, to be jailed on the contempt charges until she agrees to comply with multiple court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The judge ordered her held indefinitely because he did not believe fines would be enough to compel her to follow the law because he suspected her supporters would pay those penalties.

DeleteOne County, One Flock
DeleteBill Walker stood patiently in one corner of the Rowan County Clerk’s Office until the crowds and cameras had left the building and moved into an adjacent parking lot.
He walked over to the service desk and, after several minutes, said: “Excuse me.”
“We’re not giving out marriages licenses today,” said Kim Davis.
“I just came in to renew my driver’s license,” said Walker.
“Oh,” said Kim. “That’s alright. What kind of car do you drive?”
“My wife and I each drive a Buick,” said Walker. “Why?”
“I’m sorry,” said Ms. Davis. “I can’t renew your license.”
“Why not?” asked Walker.
“Because,” said Kim, waving a worn black Bible, “it says right here in the Book of Acts that Jesus wants all of his disciples to be in one Accord.”
Now she's going to have a record and be known as a jailbird. Hope folks clean her clock while she is in confinement. What an idiot and all for HER god! Amazing!
DeleteWas she arrested by the real police or the Fashion Police?
DeleteJennifer K
Ho boy, that will be Friday's "Poutrage"! "Kim Davis in Jail for upholding the biblechristofacist gov biblical law!"
DeleteDuring the Obama visit I had the misfortune to come across a few troll accounts who were monitoring the POTUSAK hashtag. Now, How many schoolkids got murdered by guns? How many people in church got murdered by guns? And all the other gun deaths? Every other week it seems like?
They have a online "shrine" about the woman killed in San Francisco by a Illegal immigrant.
A HUGE Darn DILL!!! "We hope obama see's her name everytime he see's her face" bla,bla, bla. Now I'm really sorry that happened to her, but GUN CONTROL! How many have to die before something is done? She happens to be ONE of the MANY!
They really are asinine and retarded and stupid. In San Francisco as with any big city there are killings every night. Mostly gun related. But this ONE...this people are nutz. That's all I can say.
Oh... "Hillary is guilty"!
Of what i don't know. But yeah that what they say and "I'm glad she got caught" Caught for flippin what?????
They are retarded.
?????
Pres. Obama's curiosity, wonder, and enthusiasm for Alaska is great promotion for the state. This is the first time I've wanted to visit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been twice, before 2004, but the Palin stench kind of ruins it for me. There's still a lot to see in the lower 48 + HI, not to mention the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteBoth Hawaii and Alaska are my favored states! Think President Obama feels the same way!
DeleteFun watching his trip to Alaska! The people/voters (directed at you, Palin!) absolutely loved and welcomed him!
Seriously, that's why you haven't come back? Palin is not Alaska, she doesn't define Alaska, and Alaska doesn't stink because of her. If I used my personal dislike of an individual as a reason not to travel to a state or country, I wouldn't be able to travel anywhere.
DeleteWell, I must say that so far, I have also opted out of visiting Alaska - for the sole reason of the PayMe Mafia up there, and how they control the cops and judges, even now. Once this Mafia family is behind bars, and gone for good, I will definitely pay a looooong visit to your beautiful state!
DeleteIncentive for Alaskans to get this stench removed from their state, because, believe me, there are many more like me and my family who would love to come and spend some money up there!

DeleteI am totally with you. I always wanted to go to Ak. That changed with SP.
Now I am beginning to want to spend some quality time in the state. I hope it can happen soon. Definitely after Bristol, Track and the lot of them are paying their dues somewhere else and all the corrupt agents and bureaucracies are purged.
Agree. SP has turned me off to Alaska. Maybe I'd feel differently if people would stop protecting and covering for her. Her vile world view leaves me astounded that she was ever elected in the first place. There are things more important to me than scenery. Sorry Gryphen.
Delete1:10 PM and others....The Paylins don't control shit up here. There are some, such as medical workers, who can't talk for obvious reasons and then there are a few remaining friends - who won't ever talk. And, of course, there is the family. One of them will talk, sooner or later. First one in gets the bigger $$$.
DeleteIn defense of those who voted for Sarah Paylin, myself included, please know we have NEVER seen a sociopath quite like this in our local politics. Never.
And, if you're going to let a few ignorant, bigoted snowbillies keep you from visiting this amazing place, well, like the lovely honey badger, we just don't give a shit. Besides that, the Wasilla Wendingo spends far more time in Arizona than AK. Looks like you'll need to expand your no fly zone. Am I to assume you have other geographic boycotts based on the behavior of other public people?
Yo 1:10. We rill Alaskans will only try to change your mind if you promise to BARGE your LIMOs here!!!!!!!!
DeleteLove, Barstool
Consider Alaska your home away from home.
ReplyDelete-Bristol
Be sure to say "Hi" to Sarah and the gang
ReplyDeleteWhat made Alaska look like a place we would not want to visit were many of the reality shows. The State was Northern Overexposed. Oh, the mountains, the lakes, the blue ice glaciers, the wildlife....the mud, the mosquitoes, and the meth and moonshine, Your tax dollars helped pay for a lot of Alaska airtime. When I think of Alaska, it's Alaska State Troopers and Wild West Guns. We can see Alaska from our recliners.....
ReplyDeleteAnd, Uncle G. Thanks Sarah for introducing him to us.

That salmon will live in history just like Jimmy Carter's "killer rabbit". Extra points because the rabbit was before the video age.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the Alaska nature spectacular, the people are so welcoming. They were so happy to show off their wonderful state. It showed in the smiles, the signs, the dance, everything.
(The people in Kotzebue at the waterfront were dancing while they waited for the motorcade after the president's speech. )

ReplyDeleteI saw him too . . . .
DeleteWay too freaky if it was actually him. And Eeeewwwww.

Most in Alaska think they've been divorced for a long time. You never see Todd anymore - in Alaska - on the dead lake - around the dead lake - in Wasilla - not pictured with any of the kids - no show at schools for the kids, etc.
DeleteWho in the hell could live with the likes of Sarah Palin anyway? She's got to be one cold bitch!
No its not him. Most men in AK have goatee or huge as beards....
Deletebesides that guy is too white.
And, we can hardly wait to welcome he and his family when they come north to Alaska! They are more than welcome to stay at my home in Anchorage! Haha!
ReplyDeleteWould so love meeting all of them!

Thank you for sharing President Obama dancing with the kids.
DeleteHe's such a class act! Truly is going to be difficult for the one that follows him as POTUS! He's so outstanding in every way! Plus, his gorgeous smile isn't hard to handle!
DeleteGreat video, comments though are a bit depressing. Though might be junior high schoolers or adults who never grew up (rather such as Sarah).
DeleteWhat is Sarah going to do when President Obama leaves office?
ReplyDeleteOh, she'll find something else to bitch about. When you think about her and her mini-me have been incessantly bitching about something or feeling sorry for theirselves for last 8 years. Everyone is so fucking over that family.
DeleteAnybody seen Sarah or Bristol Palin in Alaska? Are they under house arrest by the Secret Service until President Obama is safely flying back to Washington DC in Air Force One?
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty rude of Sarah Palin not to welcome President Obama to Alaska. But I'm okay with it. Just imagine seeing another old wrinkly leather skin woman waiting for a photo op to point her fingers at President Obama as he disembarks from Air Force One.
ReplyDeleteAlaskans were delighted Sarah Palin hide in the lower 48 while President Obama was in Alaska!
DeleteShe was not wanted here nor requested to be!
She's the QUITTER governor and has absolutely no place politically. The Alaska Republican party can't even stand her and she is never asked to be a part of their doings!
She would've been booed and spat on. Not liked around these parts. But the President? Oh my....we have gone wild. Even those who were not fans before sure are now.
DeleteOh. she knew he was coming, which is why she was elsewhere and had Brancy do her dirty work.

i am so proud of President Obama. He comports himself with grace and dignity, yet humble enough to laugh and have a good time. His smile is genuine and contagious. If I could meet him I would be beside myself. To get a hug would be heaven. I wish for him and his family long lives of happiness, health, and safe-keeping.
ReplyDeleteGrace, dignity & humble, three things that will never be said about any of the Palins.
DeleteOne of the things I've gotten to do that I am most grateful for is to have spent two years flying in Alaska. It's a place that really deserves to be called awesome. That experience convinced me that Alaska's most abundant natural resource has to be adrenaline.
ReplyDeleteTo those who claim to have been to Alaska by cruise ship or on a whirlwind tour, I'll leave you with this thought: You had the same experience of Alaska that Bubble-Boy would have at the Mustang Ranch - you might both rave about the scenery, but, come on, both of you were just window shopping.

Anchorage? Is it safe? Isn't that where those drunk Palins fought a whole neighborhood?
In that third picture from above... Is that Toad, with a tiny tattoo on his hand, and the sunglasses on?
ReplyDeleteTourism has increased in the last 8 years. A lot of people I know have moved there for jobs and moved up vacations to see the state. I myself just spent a year in Fairbanks with a friend working. We made The decision to relocate last April. Drove straight from North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've seen, Alaskans don't like being asked "do you know Sarah palin?" One person said something like "it sucks when you have to say yes I do and she used to be cool."
I'm an Alaskan (for eons) and never thought Sarah Palin cool! She didn't get my vote for quitter governor due to her debate with Halcro. He was far superior to her as to content and she was all girly show. It was so damned apparent to me, but obviously not to many other Alaskans!
DeleteEven Governor Hickel voted for her and hosted her celebration at the Captain Cook after she won.
But, he grew to really dislike her, after he saw her in action, and stated so!
I believe his comment was that she didn't listen. She disdained his support.
DeleteI can say yes I know her, but would never say she used to be cool. Turns out she was just a furious, narcissistic sociopath that managed to fool a lot of people, including me. But she never fooled her family. They've always known about her dark, vicious behavior. And now. Well, money. Makes a difference. Keeps 'em coming back. They'd all be long gone if she didn't have the dollars. And Todd, well, let's just say both he and Sarah have so much shit on each other that there's just no legal separation that will work. Of course, they live separately, but the legal ties will bind them and their dysfunction forever and ever until death parts one of them. And, oooooooooh boy. The tell-all will be a doozy. I'm thinking HEATHER will be the first to write once Sarah croaks.
DeleteNo doubt in my my mind, 3:11 PM, thank you for your insight on this!
DeleteWhy do you think Alaskans can't stay away for long? Why do you think so many move away for different things, like a life that offers more, and it hits them how much Alaska is apart of them? One well known girl just chose Alaska over a relationship.
ReplyDeleteNice try but she was kicked out. She spent nearly a year living in Arizona so she's been away from AK for longer than the 8 weeks she lived in KY.

You are such a idiot. You have to be a paid troll, who else would be so stupid to defend them. Liars, hypocrites, cheater! You defend them.
You are just as bad, and a horrible liar to boot!
I was so happy to see the POTUS have a wonderful reception accompanied by (mostly) perfect weather. I grew up on the East Coast and my parents vacationed in AK every other year so from the time I was barely walking I'd already vacation in here. I remember absolutely falling in love with the place on a vacation that coincided with my 12th birthday. We've cruised it, flew it, spent 2 weeks hiking the Brooks Range and spent weeks at remote fishing lodges. One summer, after deciding not to return to grad school, I just told my parents, that I was buying a house and staying and it's been 25 glorious years. I have to go back east at least twice per year and I tell ya it gets a lot more difficult to handle the crowds as the years in AK pass. Same with Seattle, I go down to visit family every other month and wow, I don't know how people can live so closely crowded. Nice places to visit but AK does something to your soul! I love this place and love sharing it with visitors each summer, and hey, with these new warmer winters it's a whole different ballgame, more Seattle weather without the crowds!
ReplyDeleteYou can be sure he'll be back with his family but I hope he'll be back in some official capacity also too, where folks have a chance to meet him without the POTUS baggage.
ReplyDeleteBeen to Alaska a few times, everyone needs to put it on their bucket list. The first we went for three months, and it was three months too short. Don't recommend the Cruises, yeah, they cram a lot in a little time, but you don't get to experience real Alaska.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the President's visit, and his purpose is to put global warming front and center. But what I love most is seeing him at his best, among the people, and especially his interactions with kids (and fish).
I'm glad he'll be back after his Presidency is over, he can take his time and explore Alaska's unique landscape, ecosystem, and most of all, it's diverse peoples.
I just hope he doesn't have to sputter into and out of places like Sitka in one of those tiny planes. That took some getting used to!
Nice ride.
