I just watched an episode of running wild with bear grylls where Obama was the person that Bear took into the wilderness. I have become a big fan of the show since I saw several episodes a couple of weeks ago.

Now if you haven’t seen the show, Bear takes celebrities on an adventure in some remote place and it always involves repelling and some kind of vertical climbing.

When I was in 9th grade in Anchorage, we did repelling in gym class. We started in the gym repelling down 15 or so feet on the gym wall. Then we went outside and had the opportunity if you wanted to climb up a ladder to 50 feet or so on the outside of the building and then repell oFf of the building. I decided to do it even though I was and still am afraid of heights. The scariest thing for me was climbing the ladder, but once I got to the top and clipped into the rope I truly enjoyed the descent.

Now the reason I mentioned that is because when Obama was on the show during his presidency he only walked on level ground in Alaska and spent the entire time talking about climate change. He didn’t do anything even remotely dangerous. I am really disappointed in Bear for allowing himself to be so blatantly be used.
