Obama rides a Horse to his Inauguration ? A Strange way to Travel

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

Another unknown fact with Obama is that he is an avid horse rider, and when he traveled to Washington D.C from Philadelphia just before his inauguration, he elected to ride a horse instead of taking the train. Most likely the future president did have plans to at least wear a helmet for protection. It isn't known if he road horses for a sport, but this odd trip to his inauguration would likely to include the proper sporting gear, such as a riding helmet, also formally known as equestrian helmets. Below is a picture of President Obama standing next to a horse. Below the picture is a story about his venture to ride a horse to his inauguration.



CHICAGO, IL – President-Elect Barack Obama’s inauguration travel plans are harkening back to a time earlier than any had predicted.
It was recently reported that Obama and his family would be taking a train from Philadelphia to Washington D.C., stopping along the way to pick up Vice President-elect Joe Biden in Delaware. However, Emmett Beliveau, the executive director of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, has issued a statement to clarify Obama’s plans.
“President-Elect Barack Obama has chosen to ride horseback to his presidential inauguration. His decision honors the rich history and tradition of previous inaugural journeys, such as those of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. His denial of automotive transport is also a statement against our dependency on foreign oil.
“Millions of citizens have expressed a desire to see Obama sworn in, but sadly, it is not possible to accommodate a number of that magnitude. By riding horseback out in the open through three states, we hope to include as many Americans as possible who wish to congratulate him.”
When asked by a CNN reporter if Michelle Obama and her children would be joining him, Beliveau laughed and shook his head. “Oh no no no, she and the girls will be taking the train. Michelle told him if he goes through with this, she doesn’t care if he’s the leader of the free world or a plumber, she doesn’t want to hear one peep about his sore behind.”
