Nice timing. By the time he gets there next week Fresno will have gotten about 4+ inches of rain. No doubt Obama will take credit for that.
"Do you value a 3 inch fish more than a human life?" Yes or no, if you try to evade answering, everyone will see and know what you are, Mr.pResident.
It occurs to me that Obama is merely a Bill Clinton wannabe. No class, no honor...does things “because he can.”
Well Mr president, it is raining now in Fresno. As usual you are a few months late and a few trillion dollars short.
Happy Valentines’ Day, Jim!

House passes California drought bill to override Obama on environment
The House late Wednesday approved a bill that would override an Obama administration decision to limit water to homes, farms and businesses in California's Central Valley.
Republicans acknowledged these natural conditions have hurt their state but said the Obama administration is to blame for making the situation worse. In 2009, the administration required water to be diverted away from the Central Valley in order to protect fish, including the 3-inch Delta smelt.
"California's drought is nature's fault, but our failure to prepare for it is our fault," said Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.). Several Republicans blasted Democrats during debate for choosing fish over people.
"Environmentalists have decided that fish are more important than the unemployed," said House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). He said the bill "puts families before fish."
The sponsor of the bill, Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), added that failure to restore water deliveries to the Central Valley would hurt the state's agricultural production, which would lead to price increases around the country because California is a significant producer of many fruits and vegetables.
"Anybody that claims to be helpful … and votes against this bill is literally saying, 'I want to raise the cost of food to everybody in the United States," he said...

Make that two males or two females of each animal.
To propagate the species, you know.
Thank you very much, Tax-chick!!
Maybe the skies will open in advance of Zero’s visit.
Where was he to discuss the 5 year Tx drought or wild fires?
Oh, that’s right, He told Tx to go to hell!
Cuz there isn’t enough food there.
Smote the Smelt, feed the pears!
Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
Cook him up an order of delta smelt.
Yep. 0 knew Perry wouldn’t kiss his butt like Krispy did.
We managed better without him.
You’re welcome, Alamo-Girl. :)
Bump!
Couldn’t spendthrift Clown Prince nobama have his “discussion” by skype and save us taxpayers a lot of money?
Personal appearances have been his most successful means to rally support. For as long as those who wanted Obama in the White House have had their wish fulfilled, anyone who pays taxes has been and will continue to be stuck paying for his public relations fly-ins and junkets.
“He didn’t get his way and will use the media once again to arm wrestle a win against the voice of the people.”
Or an executive order. Bypassing the Constitution is his fav thing to amass more power. Thx for the ping!
Riding in on his Pale Horse.
