US President Barack Obama will trek through the wilderness in Alaska this week with British TV adventurer Bear Grylls, the NBC channel has announced. He is due to tape an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls to observe the effects of climate change on the area, it said. He is the first president to appear on the show, to be aired later this year.
President Obama is on a three-day tour of Alaska aimed at highlighting the pace of climate change. It is part of his administration's efforts to build support for new legislation significantly capping carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in the US, as well as raise attention to the ways climate change has damaged Alaska's natural landscape.

Seriously, Biden needs to be ready in case something happens. Is Biden ready?

Nah.... he could never be ready. Oh, he could do the job well enough, but Hillary could mop the floor with his balding pate come election time. She's a much more powerful politician in every sense.
It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.

Having the general election be Hillary vs. Anybody-at-all is all but guaranteed to generate 100% Republican turnout.
