There's a great editorial in today's paper, where a conservative and/or libertarian voice sneaked through:
President Barack Obama is coming to Alaska.
So what? He’s not coming to learn. He’s made that perfectly clear in the video he circulated when he announced his trip. He’s coming to use Alaska as a backdrop to further his argument on climate change.
He’s coming to use us.
Of course, he is the president, and we are supposed to welcome him with open arms, and we will. However, this state has some strong disagreements with this president, and he never bothers to take a minute and listen to what we have to say.
He's to be in Anchorage on the 31st, Seward on the 1st, and visiting several villages the day after that.
I wonder if anyone told him you can't land a 747 on a grass strip by the river in Kivilina? Maybe they're fitting it with pontoons?
Whatever.

Your enthusiasm is underwhelming. :)
And, um, even my 7 year old grandson knows how many states are in the Union. Sad, really.
Since his visit has nothing to do with anything we want or need, there's nothing to get excited about.
And yeah, even the most dumbed-down Common Core student knows there are 50 states.
Um, could you keep him?
Begging your pardon, ma'am, but why would we want him?
Won't. Can't watch the video. His visage and voice . his hectoring . . . drive me crazy.
Maybe he will go bear watching.
Understood; it was provided merely to add context for the "58 states" comment.
WSF - I suppose it's possible, but not on what's known of his agenda so far.
Depends on who's counting... They could land in Kivilina... Once... :-)
NFO, I'm not sure a belly-flop counts as a "landing". :)
I notice he's NOT visiting Wasilla...
gfa
Guffaw, I wondered if anyone else would notice that. :)
