Obama to spend weekend in disaster-hit Gulf Coast

2 hrs 53 mins ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama and his family will spend a vacation weekend on the Gulf Coast in Florida next month, showing solidarity with a tourism industry hurt by the BP oil spill.

The White House said Obama would go to Florida on Saturday, August 14 and spend the weekend there, following repeated questions on whether the US first family would vacation in the region.

Obama, and his wife Michelle have repeatedly appealed to Americans to vacation on the Gulf Coast, stating that there are plenty of sandy beaches not tainted by oil from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon well.

The president and other members of his administration have also made repeated trips to inspect the damage from the oil spill and to sympathize with local fishing and tourism industries impacted by the disaster.

The White House has not announced the rest of Obama's vacation plans, but the president frequently spends time during the summer on the northeastern resort of Martha's Vineyard.

Last year, he was forced to break off his vacation there to attend the funeral of his late friend, veteran Democratic senator Edward Kennedy.
