    When you get to visit Yosemite National Park and take advice from the president of the United States on how to get rid of a bear, you must be having a good day.

    On Saturday, President Barack Obama imitated a growling bear as kids shouted, “Go away!”

    He was on hand to speak about his conservation legacy while calling for more action to prevent climate change. Obama’s speech marked the celebration of the National Park Service’s 100-year anniversary.
