The Obama administration, despite the nation’s economic woes, effectively killed the job-producing Keystone Pipeline last month. The Arab Spring is turning the oil production of Libya and other Arab nations over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iraq is distancing itself from the U.S. And everyone recognizes that Iran, whose crude supplies are critical to the European economy, will do anything it can to frustrate America’s strategic interests. In the face of all of this, Obama insists on cutting back U.S. oil potential with outrageous restrictions.
Part of Obama’s apparent war against U.S. energy independence includes a foreign-aid program that directly threatens my state’s sovereign territory. Obama’s State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin.
The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.

I’m of the mind that this is one of Obama’s delusions and would not make it through congress. If he used an executive order to try and pull this off it would not be that difficult to obtain 67 members of the Senate to override this idiotic act. I’m betting Obama will never sign it…any takers?
J.C.

sorry…. http://www.alaska.net/~logjam/give_away.html
What gives Obama any authority to give any property away, to any foreign nation, for any reason what-so-ever. The State Government of Alaska should be fighting Obama about this tooth and nail. This is not acceptable by any president to give away any property of any state to any foreign government period. Do I or anybody else hear the words giving Comfort and Aid to the Enemy, Treason does come to mind. Although we are not at war with the Soviet States any more this is still the property of the united states of America.
This giveaway has been going on since 2000. Even Bush tried to part with some of these islands and it never made it past Congress. He won’t get it past either, but he might just wave hos executive order wand and make it happen. You know Putin is bi-sexual too right?? Hey, he’s a good-looking dude (well ok I exaggerate about that a little) and he might like a little floppy eared marble cake for a change. Well I just made myself nauseated writing that comment. Sorry.
What giveaway? And what does this have to do with Obama or Putin? Check your facts!
1. These islands lie off the Arctic coast of Russia.
2. They were not part of the US purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867.
3. Although Americans were involved in discovering and exploring some of them, the US government has never claimed or asserted sovereignty over them. Tsarist Russia did, the USSR did, and today’s Russian Federation does. Over a period of some 100 years, the USA has never objected to the Russian or Soviet exercise of sovereignty over these islands.
4. The US-USSR maritime boundary agreement was signed in 1990, under the administrations of George Bush Sr. and Mikhail Gorbachev. The US Senate gave its advice and consent to its ratificationt in 1991. The USSR fell apart before it ratified it. Russia took over as the legal successor state to the USSR. In 1992, the USA and Russia (under the administrations of Bush and Yeltsin) exchanged diplomatic notes to provisionally apply the agreement until it was ratified by Russia. The two countries are still doing so today.
5. The maritime boundary agreement does not address the status of these islands.
And finally,
6. The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled in 1994 that the islands were not part of the State of Alaska.
