Statement of Barack Obama on National Hunting and Fishing Day

Chicago, IL- Senator Barack Obama made the following statement today regarding National Hunting and Fishing Day:

“Hunting and fishing are not just recreational pursuits, they are part of our national heritage. America’s hunters and anglers uphold a tradition that connects generations and brings families and friends together across our great nation. Today, we celebrate this tradition and the conservation legacy of hunters and anglers.

“National Hunting and Fishing Day is a time to reaffirm our commitment to America’s sportsmen. As President, I will protect the right to bear arms, increase access to places to hunt and fish, take on polluters and clean up our streams and lakes, and protect our nation’s important wildlife habitat and wetlands. I will enhance programs that encourage young people to hunt and fish and respect and protect the outdoors.

“Our nation’s sportsmen have made sure that this and future generations can enjoy our natural resources and wildlife. As President, I will stand with them and ensure that America’s hunting and fishing heritage endures.”

1. Nice statement from Barack

And NO, I do NOT predict that he'll do something stupid like dressing up as a hunter, and being photographed holding a shotgun and standing next to something he just killed like Kerry did.

If he shot any animal, the women in his house would be all over him.

I don't expect that we'll see Obama shooting anything, except maybe McCain's Presidential aspirations.

3. Good - no dumb photo ops

with dead birds or fish. If you want to hunt or fish, do it in a humane, sustainable manner. If you don't like it, don't do it.
