Some people on the Koko Head Crater Trail got an unexpected thrill Tuesday morning as they met President Obama while on a hike. Earlier in the morning, President Obama returned to the Marine Corps Base Hawaii gym for a second consecutive day for a hour’s workout.

Lucky?

[KevinB]

Lucky? To me it would be akin to stepping in a pile of dog sh*t while hiking.

Why did they get a “thrill and how can this be considered to be “lucky” ?

I didn’t write the story headline

Having enjoyed many peaceful hours hiking, I can tell you that the last thing
I would want to see is a reprehensible enemy of our country while enjoying the beauty of outdoors.

Also, if I were to encounter the resident of the WH while hiking (which is entirely possible since he purchased a home in Rancho Mirage CA about 5 miles from my home) I would feel impressed to ask him why he was such a overuser of CO2 which he purports to be so dead set against.

I suppose it’s -one type- of luck,,,,

I remember walking up Diamond Head. At the start I couldn’t figure out why people were coming down soaked in sweat on such a beautiful day. Halfway up, I knew.

They probably felt lucky meeting the guy who schlonged Hillary.

Things ya’ see when...

Wow, where to begin with something like this? Let’s just say Obama’s “lucky” he didn’t run into someone who loathes him as much as I do on that trail.

He would have got an ear full and enough middle fingers to last a lifetime.

LUCKY?? Like I was lucky to get loose poop to lose weight? Like I had to worry if an effeminate person was going to try push me off the trail because I was white?

[Rummyfan]

Lucky!? This is not what I call an instance of luck.

[Blue Jays]

Those allegedly "lucky" hikers likely got harassed by a bunch of Secret Service agents who probably intimidated them and ruined their day. Yeah, real lucky.

“If it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all...”

[SaveFerris]

Maybe a thrill ran up their leg like Chrissy Matthews?

[SaveFerris]

Was thinking of that song, too.

[nopardons]

Hopefully not !
