What Do You Mean, I Can't Fish Anymore?

President Obama revealed the sinister workings of the latest executive order to rile up Conservative suspicions and leave the Liberal news media yawning. While anglers and commercial fishermen who love the water, feed  families and enjoy Nature's best have been in the wings fighting for the protection of their hobbies and livelihoods from an overly-green monster, most of us were surprised by this latest news.

Seems the media only finds it necessary to appraise us of colonoscopies and the latest gossip from Hollywood's red carpet runways. Sadly, the growing rift that spans the distance between  Real America and the workings of an Administration which has crowned itself  King of America is expanded by a general attitude of media snobbishness. Seems our chief official considers us "dummies" who cannot can be trusted to understand what's going on.

As a lifelong resident of the Lake Erie region, I haven't forgotten the past murmurings of Southern States looking to the fresh-water resources of the Great Lakes, and wondering  aloud, "Could we have some of that?" As the State of Ohio and her citizens strongly relayed, the Lake Erie shoreline was considered a State treasure, and one jealously guarded. Tourism provides ample jobs in the Great Lakes region when people have the money to come here to fish. Ohio has some of the best conservation programs in the nation, and Ohioans are proud of their public lands.

Now enter Obama's newest idea to kill jobs here in Ohio, throughout our nation, and even around the world. He's teamed up with, you guessed it, his "Little Green Men from the UN". They're targeting our right to fish on our own shores, and play it out like we don't know how to be responsible stewards over our precious natural resources.  Obama plans to stick his finger into regulating our ability to enjoy our wonderful resources here in Ohio, and I can't help but wonder  if he's trying to destroy our economy? We're at 13% unemployment here now, and on the crux of a new fishing season.

Obama's already proven that he's a lousy accountant, a lousy businessman, a lousy military advisor and a lousy speaker. Add to that his diplomatic grace DOES NOT EXIST. Personally, I cast lousy when I fish. Excuse me, Mr. President, would you mind standing behind me?
