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.
FULL ANSWER
A look at the map will give the reader some notion of the frozen “Alaskan” islands under discussion. All are far closer to the Russian mainland than to the Alaskan mainland. All lie on the Russian side of the U.S.-Russia maritime boundary set by a treaty that the U.S. Senate ratified overwhelmingly more than two decades ago, after being signed by President George H.W. Bush, and with the support of both of Alaska’s senators.
FactCheck.org is the latest to look into an old conspiracy theory -- recently promoted online by failed Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller -- that President Obama is trying to hand over to Russia some supposedly oil-rich Alaska islands.
Alaska Dispatch editor's note: A rumor circulating around the web recently claims that President Obama is "giving away" seven islands to Russia that the U.S. has claim to. It's been mentioned by failed U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller on his blog, and has raised the ire of citizens upset about rising gas prices and concerned about U.S. dependence on foreign oil. The following article was written by FactCheck.org in response to the rumor.
In fact the Bush and Clinton administrations are directly at fault for the same inaction. A maritime agreement negotiated by the U.S. State Department set the Russian boundary on the other side of the disputed islands, but no treaty has ratified this action.

Obama is not a Freemason.
Do you guys spend all day LOOKING for stuff to hate on? Seriously.
Freemasons are not the enemy. If anything, they embody the type of people we're supposed to be...but you're too busy pointing fingers to notice.

Technically, if you hate the Freemasons, that would make you a Christian or somesuch. The Church was the only organization that worked against the Freemasons...because the Freemasons were introducing science to a superstitious people.

Factcheck.org - Alaskan Island Giveaway?
Q: Is President Obama giving away several Alaskan islands to Russia?
A: No. The U.S. has never claimed ownership of the islands identified in viral emails and websites. They lie far closer to the coast of Siberia than to Alaska.
