Paring His Bucket List, Obama Relishes Hiking at an Alaskan Glacier (all by himself)

President Obama hiked alone up a gravel path toward Exit Glacier, gazing at a mass of flowing ice as it melted into the plain below.

“How’s this?” he marveled as he surveyed the terrain on a cloudless day. “Beats being in the office.”

Mr. Obama is in legacy-building mode here in Alaska, where he has come to talk about the rapidly unfolding effects of climate change and the urgent need to address it. He saw the consequences of global warming during his trek to the glacier, which has receded more than a mile over the past 200 years because of rising temperatures.

“This is as good a signpost of what we’re dealing with when it comes to climate change as just about anything,” Mr. Obama said.

Clown Prince nobama’s “legacy” is solid and certain: the worst president EVER. I hope he will be the first President arrested for his many crimes against this country, waterboarded to find out who he really is and, then, exiled for the rest of his worthless, malignant existence.

If Obama tried to do the Iron Dog run he’d end up as a speed bump within the first couple of miles.

The temperament and demeanor of a world leader. With a selfie-stick. No wonder this country is turning to sh_t. There are people who think that narcissistic demagogue is doing a fine job.
