The citizens of our fair country have been in hysterics since getting wind of President Obama’s Alaskan pit stop. In addition to returning Mount McKinley to its native glory by officially renaming North America’s highest mountain Denali, Obama shot a segment with outdoor survival guru and controversial TV celebrity Bear Grylls.
Speaking of bear, the two chow down on a salmon carcass leftover from a Grizzly feast. As Bear explains to the President, should the river be bountiful, the bears will gobble up the fatty bits – brain, eggs, etcetera – leaving the succulent flesh behind.
One bear’s trash is another Bear’s treasure.
In the clip, Grylls utters one of his best lines ever: “So I think the president looked a little surprised when I pulled out this sort of bloody carcass of half-eaten salmon.”
Not too many folks get to say that in their lifetime.
