I don't just think this is just a Florida issue at all. The Everglades support life from all over the world. Over 200 non-native species of birds migrate to Everglades. If the Everglades are threatened so are the natives and migratory animals.

Why would anyone release their Exotic Snake into the Everglades!! GRR!
I wouldnt follow much obama says. He hasnt kept any promises. The state of the union address was just a speech so he could poke out his chest and beat on it a bit to say look at me im trying but congress is against me. Hes just campaigning. As far as the glades go this is a south florida problem only. These snakes cant survive above south florida. Not to mention the 2010 winter did so much damage to most of the invasive pythons and killed the majority of them off. The usgs surveys are so flawed. And the problem wasnt created from people releasing pythons although im sure some people did release some. The real problem stemmed from when hurricane andrew ripped through there destroying reptile breeding facilities and blowing thousands of snakes into the glades. A bit of information the usgs, fwc and ushs didnt make public in their findings. This ban stinks to high heaven.
