Following the suggestion of his tone-deaf advance team, President Obama went from inside the White House to inside his armored car to inside the Interior Department today to celebrate the Great Outdoors.

After a short drive, the Chicagoan spoke to a Great Outdoors Conference auditorium audience of about 500 including Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark, a favorite urban butt of late-night comedians.

When was the last time Obama went on a hike?

[Dinah Lord]

Oh God, I can't even imagine Barry hiking. Just remembering that trip he took to the Grand Canyon with the First Wookie Lady and family is enough to give me nightmares.

Yep, that one.

[cripplecreek]

I wish these urbanites would leave the country alone.

[Tarpon]

Another useless fed agency that needs budget zero out.

[La Enchiladita]

Total malarkey, politicking, pandering to the Sierra Clubbers, blablabla...

[La Enchiladita]

He needs to “take a hike,” if you know what I mean and I’m sure you do.
:-)

[OCC]

Shouldn't the Department of Interior be called the Department of Exterior?

Is there any reliable source which would indicate if Obama has done any camping, fishing, hunting or any other manly activity besides shooting hoops?

[Nachum]

If there were, we would have seen them by now.

If there were, we would have seen them by now.

So, just as I thought. He's a limp wristed girlie man. That explains why he feels more comfortable curtsying to our adversaries than standing up to them.
