Corporate Pitchboy Says Come Play In BP's Sludge Dump
Don't worry about the sharks.
Obama declares Gulf Coast 'open for business'
"PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – President Barack Obama declared Gulf Coast beaches clean, safe and open for business Saturday as he brought his family to the Florida Panhandle and promised residents that the government wouldn't forget them once efforts to stop the leak are finished.
On a warm and muggy day, Obama pledged to "keep up our efforts until the environment is cleaned, polluters are held accountable, businesses and communities are made whole, and the people of the Gulf Coast are back on their feet."
Obama is in the region for a brief weekend trip with first lady Michelle Obama, daughter Sasha (her sister Malia is at summer camp) and the family dog, Bo. Their 27-hour stop in the Sunshine State is as much a family vacation as it is an attempt by the president to convince Americans that this region, so dependent on tourism revenue, is safe for travel — and that its surf is clean.
To reinforce that message, Obama and Sasha swam in the Gulf's waters on Saturday, according to White House spokesman Bill Burton. The highly anticipated dip was away from the media's view."
I went swimming. Trust me.
Dead Fish Washing Up Everywhere Due to BP Oil Spill and Dispersants
added - Press flacks released this picture a few hours ago. Notice the media wasn't allowed when Obama supposedly swam in the gulf, and there's no wide shot to prove he did. If he brought his daughter into poisoned waters he's either an insane fool or a delberate child abuser. The ostensible reason the photographers were banned was because "he didn't want them to take pictures of him with his shirt off", something his PR goons actively sought before. More likely this is a file photo or at a swimming pool with burly guys at one end with canoe paddles.
This is as pathetic as the Bush mob 'mission accomplished' moment or Dukakis' tank head photo op and if it gets out that Obama never swam in the poisoned waters of the gulf he's ruined. Truly a pathetic decision to appease his corporate masters and act like a chamber of commerce clown.
