President goes for a swim in the Gulf – or does he?

President Barack Obama wanted to convince America that the Gulf of Mexico remains open for business. But perhaps he didn't want the world to catch another glimpse of his hairless chest.

President Barack Obama wanted to convince America that the Gulf of Mexico remains open for business. But perhaps he didn't want the world to catch another glimpse of his hairless chest.

So when he and his daughter, Sasha, took a dip in the sea off Florida this weekend, 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. 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.

Two weeks of 'summer camp', then she will be busy taking care of a 'sick aunt'. At least that's what they used to tell us when girls 'of that age' disappeared for the entire summer.

I think nowadays we just call it 'the abortion clinic'. After all, Obama wouldn't want his daughter 'stuck' with a baby.

The picture looked like the daughter was SITTING in the water and Bammy was lying on his side!! She was WAY to high in the water to have been in deep water.

I’d be interested in knowing if the red flags were up the day he went swimming in the gulf. Any kind of weather disturbance off the coast will close down swimming in PC.

It was not a prop. That was a fake conspiracy. It was a real turkey and it was really served to the troops.

The Gulf here in PC is okay to swim in, when the red flags aren’t flying like they were on Saturday. In fact, there was a drowning because somebody didn’t use the advice given about the surf being rough. They fly the red flags when the undertow is bad. Most people just don’t know how to keep the undertow from pulling them out. We really haven’t gotten much oil over here.

"Most camps are 1 or 2 weeks at the most... When was the last time we saw the older daughter???? "

Not unusual in New England, and I believe she's in Maine or NH. The camp our sons have attended in NH runs 7 weeks. The kids have a great time and form some very nice friendships at these types of camps. It makes it difficult to plan family time, however.

That photo was my first thought upon seeing the headline. Did you know that many of the photos of Mao swimming were fake?

Malia’s camp location is a national secret.

Now, where and when the US forces plan to attack the taliban or withdraw or reposition in Afghanistan? The names of Afghans Iraqis and other civilians willing to assist our CIA against terrorist? The names, addresses and children’s schools of the CIA agents involved in interrogation, or the home addresses of the bank execs who got bonuses during TARP money?

Just read the WashCompost or NY Slimes.
