Welcome to Martha’s Vineyard, Mr. President - but don’t go in the water!
President Obama, who took a plunge in the Gulf last week to show Americans it was safe to swim the oil spill-plagued area, arrived on this supposedly pristine island yesterday in the midst of a rash of bacteria-induced beach closings.
Portions of Tisbury Great Pond, the salt-water lagoon fronting the first family’s vacation estate Blue Heron Farm, were closed earlier this week due to high levels of enterococci, an indicator that the water is contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria. Ew.
High levels of enterococci can cause skin irritation, vomiting or diarrhea in swimmers. Which could ruin anyone’s vacation!
West Tisbury health agent John Powers said Long Cove Pond and Sepiessa Point Beach on Tisbury Great Pond were closed to swimming Tuesday after both failed water-quality testing.

More fecal matter is en route.
No doubt the mansion has a large magnificent pool.
Seems like the fecal bacteria have found their natural carrier in one large pile.
Community of bacteria colony organizers.
Did they take the samples before or after the nobamas and their welfare hangers-on arrived? Enquiring minds want to know...
I like to think that this is a Divine intervention.
"Daddy, have you cleaned the water yet?"
Let him swim! What’s one more t*rd in the water?
Oh my ... this topic is ripe for comments.
Don’t go in the water, and don’t breathe the air!
