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?

I am confused. Who was that retarded to think it wasn't a big deal? There was oil gushing into the gulf non-stop for three months, and we all god deluged with heart-breaking pictures of wildlife covered in oil. I don't see how someone could possibly argue that the spill wasn't a big deal.

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

it never was the worst disaster in the first place
Obama had an "oh shit" moment and realized he was doing more harm than good

That is nice.
But many people are not like us, they don't care about politics. And when they see their President swimming in the Gulf, they might reconsider their vacation.
I don't care why he did, the number one thing in the whole situation is the people who have been loosing money this whole time.

He wasn't swimming in the Gulf. It was just reported to appear that way. Hmm.

"Beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business," Obama said.

"The president's dip took place away from the news media. The White House released an official photo, but The Associated Press does not publish such handout images. According to the White House, the Obamas swam off Alligator Point, which is in Saint Andrews Bay, not the Gulf."

Will it matter where he swam, when people decide to go down there or to the beach?

And If I am not mistaken the Oil made it's way into many bays. But keep up the partisan politics. Bravo!

That is not the fucking point you moron.
And show where the experts said this wasn't a terrible and one of the worse envirnomental disasters in our history. Show me a disaster that did more damage to our environment?
That is not the point of his actions, the point of his actions is make the people who don't give a shit about the politics feel better about going down to the Gulf. You are the biggest idiot on this board. Good job!

Obama declares Gulf Coast 'open for business'

This is yet another example of the Federal Government overstepping it's bounds...forcing an area to open for business. What if they don't want to be open?

I don't really care, and businesses that will see their business increase will not either.

If it is so OK why did he lie about swimming in it?

Who thought it was not a big deal? That would be Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.

I’ve used this analogy before, but I think I want to take one more time to do this. It is important to understand that this event happened 5,000 feet below the surface at a well that was several miles below that 5,000-foot point. It is measuring -- we were measuring the flow rate basically of an opened Coke can 5,000 feet below the ocean using the best available technology that we had at the time without the benefit of knowing how big the Coke can was.

Bravo Divecon for being one of the only cons in this thread that wasn't a complete partisan hack.

I am mocking the partisan hacks that went form worst environmental disaster in history to everything is great in a week, without a single question about where all that oil went to. The reason I pointed out that Limbaugh was actually right about this is that is exactly what those people scoffed at when Limbaugh predicted it.

The fact that you blindly support Obama and ignore that the greatest conservative hack was actually right makes you a hack. The rest of us just enjoy mocking every hack on both sides of the aisle.
