Odumbo's land grab

Oh, give me land, lots of land............

Obama's plan to buy more public land draws GOP fire
 
By ROB HOTAKAINEN
McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says he's constantly telling his two daughters to turn off the TV, stop using Skype and go outside. He wants to get more American kids off the couch and out the door, reconnecting with the world and its natural beauty.

And he wants to make it easier for them to use parks and public lands, saying that too many Americans "can go days without stepping on a single blade of grass."

Toward that end, the president wants Congress to double spending - to $900 million next year - on a conservation fund that's used to buy more property for the federal government. Currently, the government owns 635 million acres, or roughly three out of every 10 acres, with the largest chunk in Alaska.

But with the nation deep in debt and facing a long backlog of projects on its public lands, many Republicans are lining up against Obama's plan, leaving its fate uncertain.

The only land he needs is enough to plant his sorry ass.

What is the big dummy planning on using for money on this?  If it was going to be funded by user fees on existing parks and public lands, this might be just a value judgment as to the best use of land, but knowing Democrats I'm sure this just represents a new .9-billion-dollar hole for tax revenue.

I was watching a Nickelodeon and some kids from Nebraska were lamenting how there is no "green space" anymore.  WTF, over. No green space? In Nebraska?!? Sh*tty schools, teachers, and parents.

I like the conservatives idea of selling off some federal lands and buildings more.

Just what we need, more land for the Obama crowd to trash.

Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, the state plans to start closing state parks in August to save money.  I guess they have too much "green space," but not enough green.

He wants to cede more land to Mexico- the current 5500 acres just won't do.
