I didn't think holograms could swim.

Obama`s Gulf Swim Was Fake

On August 15, AP reported that Obama gave his "personal assurances of (the) Gulf's safety," saying:

"Beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business."

He lied.

The same day, Britain's government owned BBC reported:

"Barack Obama has taken a swim in the Gulf of Mexico (to) reassure Americans that the waters are safe despite the recent oil spill."

US corporate media reporters repeated the message, CNN's senior White House correspondent Ed Henry among them, saying "Obama takes (the) plunge, swims in the Gulf (to show it's safe and) open for business."

In fact, area businesses continue to be severely impacted, and the entire region is dangerously unsafe.

As for Obama's swim, on August 16, the London Independent reported that Obama and his daughter, Sasha, swam in a private Panama City Beach, FL beach off Alligator Point in St. Andrew Bay, not part of the Gulf.

Reporters were banned, no TV video permitted. "So....only the White House photographer was allowed to capture proceedings. The official picture was intended to provide evidence that the region's beaches are back to normal."

False. A dangerously toxic oil/dispersant brew contaminates much, perhaps the entire Gulf. It's poisoned and potentially lethal for decades, maybe generations. Nothing in it should be ingested. Millions in the region are at risk. No one should swim in coastal waters or eat any Gulf seafood. Responsible officials should ban it. Instead the all-clear's been given.

Obama, his officials, and BP executives are criminally liable. So are state governors, coastal mayors, and regional health authorities.

Area residents with children should leave. Tourists should avoid the region. A growing catastrophe will continue for decades, including a silent epidemic of cancers and other diseases, as well as lives and livelihoods lost.

Interesting.. Yahoo was spending all it's coverage on Obama and the beach about some leaked topless photos of Obama. Now this is real news.

Let me see if I understand this, the contention is that he technically didn't swim in the gulf, but rather a bay. Does the water from the Gulf run into the bay? If that is the case then it's a matter of semantics, but I haven't been there so I don't know one way or the other.

I swam in the East Sea. That's connected to the Pacific Ocean which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, which is connected to the Gulf. So, I guess I swam in the Gulf too.

Its hard to take an article seriously when the main picture is a photoshopped lovechild of Bush and Obama

I heard Obama has body doubles in case people try to assassinate him. I also heard he is trained in Jedi mind trickery but works for the dark side.
