Dang the luck! I'd already planned to be out of state that day. I would have really loved to be there. I've been practicing for weeks:

"Barack Hussein Obama,

Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm!"

Man, there's a lot of blubbering in here today! Here ya go, you big babies...

I can't wait to hear the worshipers worship. Wonder if they'll be offtune or not.

Wow,

The Messiah actually took time away from his Golfing and Basketball games, which probably add up to more wasted time then GWs total vacations, to fly to Asia to tell them how bad we suck? What a workaholic. Why, by the end of the year, he will have talked smack about the US to more countries that hate us then anybody since....since...uh, gee I guess no other President in history has told everyone that our country is at fault for everything from the death of the Dinosaurs, to Haley's comet only coming every 76 years. Talk about a dope on a rope. Ill take a war monger any day over a walk-off for a president.

Your right RichardHead - most definitely egregious criminal activities like speeding 11 mph above the speed limit and interpreting ambiguous hand gestures from security guards are defiantly taser offenses. And we should just shoot the J walker - there flagrant disrespect for such well earned and well placed authority is unacceptable.

I think cops should have the right to randomly taser people for fun. It would really boost job morale!

MJHemple,

it was only 35% of the presidency at his ranch, you're forgetting the other vacation trips he took. Besides, you can't blame a president for the economy and such like he has some godly power of control over it all. Blame them for the laws they sign and the presidential decrees they issue into law... ohh sorry, executive orders.

I'm just glad he isn't stopping anywhere near Fairbanks! Our community already has enough misfits in it!

diogenesFBKS, you're not a wimp? Wait, you're a big, bad, tough person just hiding behind a screen name and a keyboard. You're pathetic!!

I think we need to taser more criminals, no matter the age!! Then again, I also think more criminals need to be put down like a sick animal instead of idiots like you making it easier on them. Maybe we wouldn't have so many repeat offenders!

Steven 51, thanks for the correction I was very young at the time and with so many dopes it's hard to remember - but didn't Bush 1 meet the Pope briefly at Elmendorf in 90 or 91?

But I am sure that the t-shirt wearing folks enjoyed themselves more than the sycophants inside.

The SS always needs some help from local law enforcement to protect the pres and being Eielson now has the rep for having wimps who find it necessary to taser an 81 year old;they'll have to bring a few more secret service goons than normal along.

Best part about the Reagan-Pope meeting at the airport was the Pope's speech. For all the charisma Reagan allegedly had, it didn't come across. The Pope however was a master politician who could charm a bird off of a tree, so to speak. His front people did a great job in preparing his speech aimed at the local population. Below is the url which has a copy of it but naturally reading it isn't the same as having been there to hear it... the warmth he conveyed that cold nasty day is mostly missing.

Who cares. He probably still thinks we are the 57 state.

With Wednesday being a holiday, I sure hope the Wing King does not make people come in to see this idiot. I know I would not waste my family time. MJHemple, with the way this country is going, this guy has proven that he has been on vacation since day one. Could have done without him ever visiting our state.

This is tragic

good link MJHemple The corporations are the ones who wield the real power in this country. The president and congress, the courts all in one way or another owe their souls to one company store or another, as do we all. It doesn't have to be this way. Corporations are no more or less evil then anyone of us. It is just that old saying that rings true, power corrupts. We need to bust up the big ones, the ones that are now too big to fail. Don't let them keep merging, and then monopolizing the markets. And stop giving them rights that only a citizen should have! That is just nuts.

There's a panoramic photo of the 'Pope meets the Dope' event in Fairbanks at the DNM office. The Pope also visited Anchorage without the Dope a few years prior, in 1980 or '81.

AXE2GRIND--- Study your history. The Pope met the Dope at the Fairbanks airport. President Reagan spent the night at ( I believe it was Frank Murkoski's house) on the Chena river. The t shirt wearers were not allowed to enter the airport.

Just because the last occupant of the White House spent 35% of his time on vacation, doesn't mean they all have to. We've got important business with the countries listed, especially China. It's vital that we keep communications open with our nation's new owners.

Obushma is continuing the work of the corporate oligarchs. He's just more palatable for the masses at this time than a Republican, as in the 'good cop - bad cop' scenario. It doesn't matter who's in office. It only matters who's in power, and it isn't We the People anymore. It hasn't been since 1886. http://www.change.org/ideas/view/end_corporate_personhood

reminds me of W's last visit to "Fairbanks"
