President Obama the Trout Fisherman (Nope, they're serious)
New York Times ^ | Aug. 13, 2009 | Adam Nagourney

DENVER- First there was President Obama the golfer. And now – President Obama the fisherman?

Mr. Obama’s trip out West later this week — to promote his health care plan in states like this one and Montana — is going to include a few hours of trout fishing in Montana. Jim Messina, the president’s deputy chief of staff, who grew up in Montana and Idaho and is a wildlife enthusiast, will be taking him.

Mr. Messina disclosed the president’s plan while talking at a conference of Western Democratic leaders here, discussing Democratic gains in the region over the past six years. Mr. Messina was talking about issues of concern to Western voters, among them providing access to hunters and fishermen to federally protected land.

Great - first we were treated to pics of his Mom Jeans. Now waders. What next? Maybe John F’n Kerry will lend him the rabbit suit.

I wonder if he’ll use a boat. Never seen the dude in a boat, and I bet he gets sea sick.

The only trout Obie has ever seen was served on a gilded plate, served on arugula with a tamarind reduction on the side. I’m sure that pantywaist’s hands are way too soft and tender to handle a rod and reel.

LOL. Good response.

Call Dick Cheney. He actually knows what he’s doing re mountain river fishing.

And about a lot of other things too.

Wonder if he knows what weight forward taper means. I would like to see this but not too close.

I hate to tease anybody for the way they look, but he better tape his ears down or he’ll hook himself on the forward swing.

Please, we’ve seen President Obama throw. He’s throws like a girl.

Just imagine that inner city dweller trying to cast a line or bait a hook.

Yeesh.
