Obama fakes a swim in the Gulf

Don Surber blog



From the White House:

<<< “President Barack Obama and daughter Sasha swim at Alligator Point in Panama City Beach, Fla., Saturday, Aug.14, 2010. The President traveled to Panama City Beach with First Lady Michelle Obama and Sasha to meet with local business owners and officials and to encourage Americans to travel to the Gulf Coast beaches. August 14, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza).” >>>

Gee, the president is swimming in the Gulf, right?

Not so fast.

From the Independent:

<<< “The official picture was intended to provide evidence that the region’s beaches are back to normal. Yet it soon emerged that the private beach on which it was taken, off Alligator Point in St Andrew Bay, northwest Florida, isn’t technically in the gulf.” >>>

Sometimes I think our moral and intellectual superiors in the White House just do this sort of thing out of disdain for the American people.

If you are going to swim in the Gulf — swim in the Gulf and not some place next to it.
