Obama declares Gulf Coast 'open for business'

[Kat]

I have been going to the gulf all of my life. At first I was under the impression that Obama swam in the actual gulf at PC. But, he swam in the backwater. (that is what those of us that live and spend a lot of time there call it). They said all along that the backwaters/bays were being protected. The backwaters/bays were not affected by the spill. I have been in constant contact with certain realtors there and have known all along the backwaters were not affected.
There is no argument that the gulf waters is the source of the backwaters/bays.

Though the backwaters are a part of the gulf, since that is the source, they are still different.
If anyone tells me they went to the beach, and swam in the gulf, I don't think they went and swam in the backwater. LOL

There are a number of them. Mt. St. Helens for one. and the Tsunami that hit Indonesia a few years ago.. pretty doggone big I'd say,, not to mention the earthquake in Turkey and Mexico City,, killed thousands and thousands and then there was Katrina.

I live in Washington State. Mt St Helens was probably not bigger than this.
And the point people are trying to make, is this will effect sea life for years.

of course, just as Mt. St. Helens affected wildlife and the forests for years, but life does endure and will come back.

Did Obama go swimming in the rain at Mt St Helens?

I am confused, wasn't it less than a month ago that all the liberals were scoffing at the idea that the worst environmental disaster in the history of the universe was not that big a deal? Now The One says everything is OK and everyone falls into line.

Amazing. Does this mean Limbaugh was right?

Would you rather him not say it was okay, and have businesses along the Gulf loose more money?

I'd rather him tow the typical government line and say it's OK. Then have everybody go to the guls and swim and eat their food. They will get sick and die but we are overpopulated anyway.

Actually locals take care of that. If it is not safe to swim, they are going to double red flag it.

I thought that was for rough surf, not oil, benzine, tar balls, sludge and the like.

those bays are not only fed by the gulf but by rivers as well.

It is/was. But they are also using the flag system for the oil spill.

I am sure you are right there too, as they are all over the place.

They need to switch to a black flag with a skull and crossbones

Yes, his butlers. Never mind. Inside joke but he'll get it.

Normally if it is bad weather/surf they only put out 1 red flag.
They double red flag with the oil spill.

No they are fed by rain, that makes the ocean brackish.

You've heard of blood diamonds? This is blood oil.

Alligator Point is not exactly the Gulf of Mexico.

Why did you show us a google map of Alligator Bay, Louisiana, when the President is in Alligator Point, Florida?

I'd like to say that I made an error here, but I'm afraid to say that this is all yours.

...it is STILL part of the gulf
just as Casco Bay is still in the gulf of Maine

Fuckin'-A man! Rockin' the Casco Bay analogy! Me likes!
