That's pretty cool of Obama to do that. Guessing by the time it actually happens it will be after the election and he won't actively be president though so the issues are probably not as big.

Maybe we will get lucky and he will be eaten by a Grizzly Bear. I'd watch that!

Reminder this is tonight. 10pm ET on NBC.

I'm interested to see how he does. I've seen a handful of the episodes so far. Some guys were pretty weak, like Ben Stiller. And that gay guy just kept saying "oh my GOD". The girls Kate Hudson and Kate Winslet were actually pretty down for whatever.

Pretty mellow. I thought they'd have him do at least some kind of climbing or a small rappel even. Obviously his safety is the biggest priority on the show, but when they have celebrities those people need to be kept perfectly safe too.

DVR'd it earlier.

From the interviews or news stories I've seen, he had 50 Secret Service agents nearby and a food taster who tried to keep Bronco Bama from eating anything dangerous.

Obama was pretty good on the show. I don't agree with his politics but he seems like a smart, cool guy, and he's got a good sense of humor. He goes "I am pretty cut..." when talking about that Obama figurine... LOL.

Those are my sentiments. He may be a cool guy, but his politics suck.

Should have been called Walking Mild.

I thought it would be more like the other episodes. It's kind of interesting though to see Obama in a more casual environment.

Did anyone really expect Obama to drink water out of horse shit or sleep in a deer carcass?
