Support NeoGAF

I ain't against this. We have so much land that it's like nothing to designate these vast swaths of it for preservation.

Republicans have criticized Mr. Obama, who has turned to that law more than any other president, for his expansive use of his authority to preserve sites of ecological, historical or cultural significance.

We only have one planet. Why are they being dicks about this?

 

[Orbis Tabula]

So I guess one of these plots will be where Obazymandias has his giant statue built, huh?

Fox news alert, Obama establishing three Islamist training camps in the US

Came for this.

GAF on point

Fracking Obama trying to preserve the environment.

Lol I'm using that, or maybe Obamazymandias

 

[Alexlf]

Is he building 3 solid gold monuments of himself? No? What a waste.

Is there a map of the final boundary for Berryessa Snow Mountain?

I found this proposed boundary:

I used to drive along the southern edge of Lake Berryessa all the time, going from Yolo to Napa...

the nevada site includes "the city" which is amazing

I was wondering what this looked like from above, so I checked on Google:

This is amazing. When he spoke to Sir David Attenborough he mentioned how much he loves nature, but unlike a lot of politicians Obama has actually done stuff to preserve our planet. I'm very, very happy that nature lovers like Obama can actually get into a position of power and do something to try and preserve the last remaining parts of nature left on the planet that gave us life.

Oh wow! It's still on iPlayer for anyone interested. I'm watching it now.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Obama's used the Antiquities Act more than any other President? I gotta look this up.

 

[Squalor]

Seems a lot of conservatives don't want to take care of Earth nor do they want to explore space.

So ... fuck this planet, and fuck anywhere else we might be able to go.

Wish he would have made one in Utah. I love it when they rage over their monuments.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Thanks Obama!

 

[giga]

Anti-business BHO continues his expansion of government reach into territories that could have easily been used to build a Wal-Mart SuperCenter or as a storage site for nuclear waste. Now those dreams are long gone. Pathetic.

a paleontological site in Texas known as Waco Mammoth;

I used to live in the Waco area. I had actually been there before it was ever deemed an exhibit and was just archaelogical tents and stuff.

 

[GustyGardens]

When I read the title, an Obama version of The Argonath is what immediately popped into my heads. This is quite good, though. The more of our country that gets preserved the better!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

"Look on my works, ye Mighty, cheap healthcare!"

 

[Machine]

Climate change will destroy all these monuments anyways. What's the use?

 

[Ultryx]

Where are my marine sanctuaries!? Definitely pleased with this decision though.
