The President essentially never got out of the airport on Earth Day. He had intended to go up to the Great Smokies from Knoxville and do a photo-op pretending to work on a trail restoration project, but thunderstorms over the mountains caused him to deliver his remarks in a hangar:
"It is wholly ironic for me to get within pissing distance of the Great Smokies on Earth Day, since the policies of my administration have mainly made things worse there. But hey! You can't make a stir-fry without cracking a few eggs, right? And America is its smokestacks, if you get my drift -- and my drift is kinda like the prevailing western winds over the Smokies, bringing air pollution from Ohio -- but seriously, folks, we've got to treat the environment as part of a market-based system. The market don't care 'bout no green but the loooong kind, if ya know what I mean. Hee hee hee."
