Visiting locations, wherever, is no substitute for action that favors citizens in those locations. Obama's visit to Alaska left unchanged his opposition to ANWR, a King Cove Road, development of the Pebble mine or other opportunities for natural resource development. With due respect, in case you were not aware, Alaska has no other marketable assets other than resource development.  Obama's visit was essentially a beggar's my neighbor opportunity in favor of environmental zealots. Of yes, I forgot he renamed a mountain. Cheerio Mr.President! Yes, Obama had a great visit to Alaska.
