(CNN) -- President Obama and his family will travel to the Gulf Coast this weekend to support businesses that rely on tourists but have been devastated by the oil disaster.
The family will leave Saturday morning for Panama City Beach, Florida.
"Even as the president talks about what our next steps are in our response, obviously part of this will be highlighting the tremendous economic toll that has taken place," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters earlier this week.

What a schmuck.
Just remember who called for the drilling moratorium and shut down the fishing industry.
This is a conservative, Protestant Christian area.
We don't want American hating Muslims here.
...he’s heard a rumor money from BP is being handed out. Besides, the oval office is a lonely place and Air Force One has to get refitted with a foot bath.
He might as well take whatever is left in the federal coffers with him and go to beau rivage.
RE: “Let me guess, one photo-op with local folks who may or may not have been impacted and then it’s time to PAR-TAY!
What a schmuck.”

Oh yeah, Moochelle and girls and whoever else they drag along on our dime will look at the beach and undoubtedly find their way to the nearest ice cream store, as usual.
Then in another day it’s off to Martha’s Vineyard for the second August in a row of vacationing on that overrated leftist “sand bar” —
All this vacationing is tiring and one needs a vacation to recuperate from the previous vacation, right?
We had to put up with him in Texas a few days ago.
It’s your turn.
There is a typo in the title. It should read: "Obama to visit Golf Course to assess economic impact on businesses."
Stay away you pos kenyan... we do not want you or need you. Keep the wookie away too... she scares the fish.
LLS
Then, starting next weekend, he and his family will go out to Martha's Vineyard for a ten day vacation before his children go back to their private school.
Let's see - where will they spend the most time - learning what the NATIONAL MEDIA did to the panhandle's tourism or running around with the people he wishes he was part of.
BTW - if he truly wanted to learn how the blow out (not leak or spill) affected tourism etc why isn't he visiting Mississippi or Louisiana where the wash occurred instead of an area where there was minimal, if any, significant wash up? One official source showed the eastern most travel of the wash up was two counties west of Panama City Beach.
Translation: Michelle "Marie Antoinette" obama's over the top lavish stay in Spain needs to be washed from the minds of the lowly taxpayers who had to foot the bill for all the security. I read as much as $75,000 a day.
So now to wash that memory from our minds they offer up a little bit of nothing, a weekend to supposedly support businesses that obama should have been thinking about before he let his wife take the public to the cleaners for her lavish trip.
A little bit of "Let them eat cake" mentality. Only now obama wants to pass out the crumbs after his wife gorged herself on the cake that the obama's made the people pay for.
Wonder if the Kenyan will bring the DOJ and his Nobel Prize winners to the gulf. They were instrumental in stopping the oil leak.
Why does he keep coming to Florida? Louisiana was harder hit and he seems to avoid it and avoid mentioning it.
Well...
Axlerod: "Mr. President, the First Lady's trip was a disaster! We've got to come up with something quick!"
Michelle:"Barry, you gonna let this damned cracka talk about me like that?"
Obama: "Hold on, honey! Rahm what do you think?"
Emanuel: "#@%¿!"
Axelrod: "I've got it! Go to the Gulf for your next vacation!"
Michelle: "The GULF?? I ain't goin' to no damned Gulf"
The best news Pensacola has had since the oil quit flowing: Obamas vacationing in Panama City-let ‘em screw up the traffic somwehere else
we are going to turn Michigan red!
So long as there is a UAW and closed shop, it will never happen
What does “O” know about economics, environment, leadership...etc?????
I really don't get this running around the country he does just to stay in the media, if he doesn't KNOW anything and hasn't/can't DO anything!
Being the abject failure he is as a leader and ‘President’, you'd think he'd be holed up somewhere out of sight!!
Panama City Beach, Florida.
SO, HE GOES TO WHERE THEY HAD PRACTICALLY NO OIL IMPACT AT ALL................STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES................
