HuffPo – ‘The Bear Is Loose!’ Obama Goes Out And About
“The bear is loose!”
Those were President Barack Obama’s words as he ditched his motorcade and left the White House on foot, favoring the fresh air in a walk toward the Interior Department.

“This is like the best day of my life,” she said as the picture was taken. “Someone’s gonna think you’re, like, wax.”
