I respectfully disagree with the statement that Mr. Obama is doing a "great job." Every move he has made has been in the name of turning private industry into a government enterprise (that's called "communism"). The only things the gov't need to control are road/bridge maintenance and construction, protection of the public from criminals, a world-class-butt-kicking military, and collecting just enough taxes to fund those orginizations. Other than that, they have proven time and time again that they will make a hash of whatever they get their hands on. As for the economy improving, how's that stimulus bill working out for everyone? Anyone tried to get a bank to fund a project lately? The only reason that there's economic improvement at all is the cojones of and the entreprenurial fortitude of the same small business owners that this administration would tax into bankruptcy given the opportunity. I'm hoping all of that nonsense gets headed off as well.
Should this new commission on the administration of all public waters do what they want to do, it will be another attempt at gov't control of private enterprise. Not a good move IMO. Wake up boys, the boogie man is here and he's a hungry beast.

The last time I voted Rep. was for Bush...never again. At least Obama is trying to get health care for all citizens as long as those who have health care already can keep what they have and not have to go to another source. Not only that, but not give any illegals anything (health care, welfare, food stamps, etc., etc.,)...there here illegally and should be treated as such.

I just want to add to a lil of Philpot's post... I respectfully disagree with the statement that Mr. Obama is doing a "great job." Every move he has made has been in the name of turning private industry into a government enterprise (that's called "communism"). A.k.a. GM= Government Motors Company, I've never been decisively Ford .vs Chevy, I go with the best product available for the money I can afford when I need a vehicle, after seeing the fail decisions that led to GM's problems and FORD getting up and walking away stating "We don't need a Gov't Bailout, we can fix our own problems" I'm more of a FORD fan than ever before. "Bank Bailout"= Since when did US Gov't get in the business of being lenders to bail out banks that turn around and raise lending interest rates and cut interest earned rates to their customers and screw us right back? If a Bank fails, there is obviously some stupid decisions going on that caused their failure in the 1st place! Sooo... Let me get this straight... My Tax dollars (involuntary) are Loaned to a Bank that I don't conduct business with to fix their stupid decisions and when it's paid back I don't get a return on my $$ ? The only things the gov't need to control are road/bridge maintenance and construction, protection of the public from criminals, a world-class-butt-kicking military, and . Too silently the Obama administration is hacking and slashing our military, I work for the Military and our budget was cut 39%. Sign on incentives and re-enlistment bonuses that help maintain our "world-class-butt-kicking military" are gone, our High-quality tough military men & women are not re-enlisting or staying in the service. Yeah, he promised to get our troops out of Iraq... and the equal number he is pulling out of Iraq he is sending straight into Afghanistan... That's like shifting a handful of stinkbait from 1 hand to the other, you still have a handful of stinkbait... and now both hands stink... collecting just enough taxes to fund those orginizations Which brings me to another topic... being an employee of the government, my salary comes from taxes, then I turn around and pay taxes on my salary, which is paid my taxes that are re-taxed, and then I pay additional taxes any time I try to spend my money that I earned from tax money... You have a headache yet too? anybody else notice the 1.6 Trillion.... TRILLION deficit? sure, our taxes won't go up now... not with election years coming upon us, wait until after the next presidential election for more "creative" taxes... you think luxury taxes on our boats, fuel excise taxes on maritime fuel and new taxes on Ammo were bad??.... time to find a 2nd Job, Oh wait... there aren't any. Can I file for Unemployment for losing my 2nd job while still keeping my 1st job that pays the necessary bills? Dangit, now you got my bloodpressure pumping! /off rant
I tried to be normal but it got boring so it's just back to being ME~

Thank you for your service, Nophears. I feel like I owe an apology turning a fishing and access to fishing post into a political rant, but I can't help it. I honestly had to stop myself from typing more on that last post and could have gone on a lot longer. At the end of the day the important thing regarding the original post is that the federal gov't needs to bear in mind that fishermen vote, fishermen, as a rule, are not limited to blue collar or white collar and represent the full political spectrum, and they are awake enough to know the difference between someone peeing on their legs and rain. Maybe a little bit of "Tea Party" action will keep the feds out of our fishing holes, huh?

Mixing Politics with fishing is like trolling a 6' Shark as bait to try & catch a Mackeral...
You know I had the perfect solution...
All these people crying about not having a Job & Wanting Free Healthcare... JOIN THE MILITARY! We'll give ya a place to lay your head, clothes, 3 meals a day, a pay check and yes, FREE Healthcare...
Oh wait, Obama cut the Military Budget to pay for Jobs & Healthcare....
Huh??
I didn't want this to get off on a Political rant either, I have nothing personal against Obama, Mainly just the Democrat Party in general, ANY President we elect will come with his/her own Political baggage & agenda's that we will have to fight for/against...
Look at Historically, EVERY Democrat we have had cuts the Military to fund other Pet Projects, Democrats cut the Military and Defense and take care of the People, Republicans boost our Military & Defense at the expense of the people.. That's why we flip-flop every couple years, to keep things balanced out.
Luckily I live in a "Red" State, even though it's been looking kinda Purple last couple years, but even our great Govenor Rick Perry, He fought Congress alongside with several other Coastal Govenors and the CCA to explain how extremely BAD the Magnusen Act & the catastrophe they are creating in the Gulf by messing with the recreational fishing and the Billions of $$ in revenue & jobs it creates... Kudo's!
But then we had the whole billions of $$ wasted on Trans-Texas Corridor farmed out to foreign interests fiasco thingy.... What was he thinking??
Even in Socialist & Communists governments not ALL of the people are Happy, they just get "silenced"...
