Alaska Bob's wife and boys saw Obama in Anchorage today

By
Industry Observer

Early this morning when I heard president Obama was going to be in Alaska, I had to text my wife and the boys.

 

Later while I was at work I recieved a call from my wife, and she was so excited because president Obama went driving by while some of the main streets were blocked.

With the small size of Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska with approx 300,000 people, it's not very difficult for locals to know when The Man is in town ;o)

 

Obama is in Alaska talking about Global Warming and helping change the name of Mount McKinley back to Mt Denali.

 

Alaska Bob couldn't agree more in the concern of Global warming and also changing the name of Mount McKinley back to its original name created by the natives of Alaska.

 

I just wish president Obama would have given Alaska Bob a couple weeks notice, so I could have flown up there to have lunch together ;o)

Haha, I am not sure why he didn't give you more notice, as your feedback for him would have been just what he needed to hear!

President Obama was recently in Oklahoma, but not for nearly as important reasons as he was in Alaska. Would have loved to have seen him, and would have loved for YOU to see him also!

Great to hear your support for efferts to control Global Warming and thanks for the local's opinion re Denali. Lunch with the Pres - next time! And BTW, even in a big city like New York - you always know when someone "of status" is in town - huge traffic jams.

Hello Mona ... they did find it very exciting, especially because they have only been in America for 4 years. My wife and boys appreciate many things in America that many of us take for granted ;o)
