The BBC reported:
Barack Obama says the Gulf environment will be restored “no matter how long it takes”.
President Obama has urged Americans to “come on down and visit” Florida to help revive the economy stricken by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Mr Obama said oil was no longer flowing into the Gulf but “our job is not finished and we are not going anywhere until it is.”
The president is visiting Florida with his wife and elder daughter.

I wish His Majesty well on his retirement to Panama City in late January 2013. Please let him take Her Highness, Michelle, along with him. And if he retires before then, I will contribute gladly to the Barack H. Obama Presidential Library.

Huh…his human suit must be waterproof.

“our job is not finished and we are not going anywhere until it is.”
Whew…must be hard work destroying the oil industry in the United States…
Mmmm…Mmmm…Mmmm…
Barak Crack head commented:
Barak the crackhead has black skin. So he duped the public because you cannot see the oil on his skin or his family’s.
Barak Crack head commented:
Barck to allow radical muslims to pray and do activism at Ground Zero…. Obama to help them integrate stoning of CHristians, Jews and non-colored people.
Obama to give speech saying all white people are illegal, unless conforming to Democratic Death of Ameirca Party./

where is a Great White shark when you need one?
sorry, but that was impossible to resist: i denounce myself, but why did he go in the water when we all know he’s all wet to begin with?
i denounce myself again….. somebody stop me! the captions just keep writing themselves…..

Where was the cat? He should have been buried.

“He did take a dip in the water while he was there” How can you be sure this isn’t a pic from their Maine trip or another trip?
The All Real Numbers Symbol commented:
27 hours, eh? He’ll probably spend twelve or so of them asleep in a hotel somewhere. I wish this guy would just go away.
“Vacation in the gulf!” At the risk of pointing out the obvious, (Or maybe just repeating it) there was big deal made about Michelle O going to a beach in Spain. Why didn’t she take her sixty friends and got to a beach in Florida?
antilbr commented:
Whats wrong the water to dirty for the queen,or did someone mistake that big a$$ for a pilot whale and put a couple of harpoons in it………
MaxTruth commented:
I still think the reason he is taking so many vacations is so his handlers can meet with him without the press knowing about it. If they came to the White House, we would have access to the visitor list. Evidently not when he is on vacation.
notjenna commented:
I know! Remember when he said “Our enemies… never stop thinking about new ways to harm our economy and our people – and neither do we.” That was really funny and shows the goofy his brain works. BTW, I’m gonna vacationing in the Sushi state come winter. Lookin’ forward to it!
rabid american commented:
I guess this is proof that some turds can float!
LL commented:
Where are the alligators when you need them?
LL commented:
Rabid American, the polite term is “harbor trout” not turd. You can be so politically incorrect…
Swifty commented:
27 hours is plenty for a visit by him to the Redneck Riviera. Now go back to Washington, DC and get the country some jobs.
Joanne commented:
It’s Obama’s damn fault the oil reached the shores. Ahhhhh.
aro5o75 commented:
I’m going to predict that when Obowma comes back from this 9th or 11th vacation, he’ll be wearing his black hair.

[Democrats, running scared in an election year, are trying to overcome older people's mistrust of the new health care law, which expands coverage for younger generations by cutting Medicare payments to hospitals and insurers.]
Will the ploy work? like throwing fake mardi gra beads to folks who actually think they’re worth something…….

You could be right.

[Democrats who reluctantly slashed a food stamp program to fund a state aid bill may have to do so again to pay for a top priority of first lady Michelle Obama.
The House will soon consider an $8 billion child nutrition bill that’s at the center of the first lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative] probably some more of that job creation that obama claims is
happening. jobs that make it comfortable to be wards of the government.

Ha ha ha – My kids peed in that water this summer
Randy commented:
Thank you Mr. Obama for finally telling the American people what I have been saying for the past month. Thank Goodness you were not down there a month ago to ruin MY vacation. Take your butt back to Martha’s vineyard and plot your next step in destroying our country.
Ya know what I fear right now? The upcoming Dem Lame Duck Session. God Help Us!
TheScribbler commented:
Oh gee, Mr O, I would LOVE to head on down to the gulf and take me a nice little vacay. Oh, that’s right, I will be busy packing up my belongings, selling what I can and trying to find a place to live. Oh and a job and a vehicle. And…some rich liberal that is willing to share THEIR wealth with me.
Sorry…
squeaky commented:
from peter schiff by way of fr – unemployment
creating no incentives. when the government adds all the creature comforts to entitlement programs why work? not everyone will be lured into the sticky fly paper that is government but
when personal responsibility is treated as a disease. i’ve know people who wouldn’t accept work because they’d have to pay more for their rent, get less food stamps, etc. pay them off the books – sure – but God forbid they’d loose their state benefits.

[Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe spent the weekend shopping for high-end suits and shoes in Hong Kong, where he owns a house and his daughter attends university, local media reported Sunday. President Robert Mugabe (C) and his wife Grace....] obama’s trip
to the gulf was all of 27 hours [including sleep time]? that doesn’t even qualify as a get-away-weekend never mind vacation.

“Our job is not finished”
What job? He didn’t do anything.
Kim Jong Il from North Korea was just as important to stop the oil spill in the Gulf as Barrack Obama.
Iconoclast commented:
And here I thought the whole idea was to remove the filth from the water, not add to it.
dixiegirl commented:
Come on in; the water’s fine. Stay at least 24 hours… before you jet off to Martha’s Vineyard for another 10 day vacay.
USMC Thomas commented:
$hit floats.
Ah say, commented:
“Ah didn’t say nothin’ about Florida, Honey…Ah said Ah was goin’ to tampa wit you.”
big L commented:
He’s an A**. What about the HealthNoCare and the Economy and the incompetence and all the marxists. Lets keep our eye on the “prize” and not let Axelrod drive the important stories off the front-page and off the news cycle. Please.
Everytime there is one of these stage-play presentations or the Rangel/ Waters mess and on and on, it is kabuki to manage the press-day. Don’t fall for it. Write a letter to editors or something to keep the Take-over of the country by commies in the fore-front. There is nothing funny about the Obamas. They are not cute. Just think of 3000 Americans of all groups leaping to deaths or burned up or vaporized.

Vacation in the Gulf, hell no not after this piece of dog s*** has contaminated the water and I thought the oil was bad
