War-is-Peace Nobel Prize winner Barack Obama, continuing in his Orwellian political Style, had another photo-op this weekend, this time in Florida to assure the American people that the waters of the Gulf of Mexico are SAFE. He even stated to the media this past weekend, to quote from Reuters, that, "I also want to point out that as a result of the cleanup effort, beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean and safe and open for business," .... "That's one of the reasons Michelle, Sasha, and I are here," he said, referring to his wife and youngest daughter. (source)

The media, oddly enough, was not allowed to photograph our fearless leader risking it all with his daughter to test the waters of the Gulf, so this is actually a White House photograph, which I imagine they are hoping news sites will pick up and spread around the Internet, as I am doing here, although with a caveat, because I really should put this photo into perspective first, a photo that the New York Times and AP won't even print because they indeed do consider it a White House photo-opportunity.
So welcome to Alligator Point in St Andrew Bay near Panama City, Florida:
* by Photobucket commons It's a lovely, pristine bay with lush blue waters, surrounded by the Gulf.
This is a map to give you a better perspective of what the bay's geography looks like. I couldn't figure out how to embed it so I linked it. Note that there are natural barriers running southwest of the bay that would naturally block much if not all floating "tarballs" and oil slicks trying to wind their way into the bay. This area was not seeing much oil penetration, if any, anyway.
In fact, the London Independent had this to say about Alligator Point: "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, north-west Florida, isn't technically in the gulf. (source)"
Not technically in the Gulf? And to top that off, this beach had never become "abnormal" in the first place. What a straw dog to knock down!
I am also told that the waters near Alligator Point, close, amusingly, to a golf course, were being monitored regularly for contamination. Indeed, Obama took a very safe plunge, far from the real danger points in the Gulf of Mexico. What if, however, he had come to the beaches of Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama and gone skinny-dipping, like this woman, Sheri Allen, did:

That might cost you a few votes though, Prez, if your daughter ended up looking like that after a casual, "safe" swim. Meanwhile, outraged citizens along the Gulf Coast are asking this question: Why didn't you come to their oil-invaded beaches and get REAL with the toxic stew in their beaches, marshes and fishing waters?
By crafting this illusion of safe beaches, safe food, safe air, the President, BP, the Coast Guard and all the other prostituted government agencies are going to sucker God knows how many unknowing American men, women and children into poisoning, sickening or perhaps even killing themselves through cancers or organ failure by swimming, eating and breathing toxins that the former are callously trying to cover up for various underhanded motives. This is yet another stab in the back by Orwellian Obama and his gang of coverup artists, the very people who are supposed to be protecting us, while a criminal corporation, you know who, clearly the Alpha Dog here, calls the main shots. Obama has reaally deepened his bad Karma here, tooling his own daughter in an attempt to get other parents to expose their daughters to the lurking hazards in the Gulf. Et tu, Obami?
However, there are a lot of us shouting out warnings. In fact, a contingent of Gulf Coast fishermen, activists and protesters converged on Panama City this past Sunday to get REAL with Obama since he won't get down with them, and here is what they had to say to the President, BP, the White House and to all of America. Project Gulf Impact taped their rally in two parts, viewable on YouTube. Here is the text accompanying the videos, followed by the videos themselves, so listen up folks!
"On Sunday, August 15th, fishing families from across the Gulf Cost will
gather in Panama City Beach, Florida, with a message for President Obama: The
Gulf of Mexico is still infused with oil and dispersants from the BP disaster,
threatening marine life, livelihoods, and the health of the American
people." (Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).

seafood to market and make people sick." - Kathy Birren
