Wow, President Barak Obama, while down in the Gulf of Mexico for the fourth time, to check up on how the oil spill and its clean up is going on, says to everyone around the country to take a vacation trip to the Gulf, encouraging tourism during the summer.

[Biggirl]

What summertime tourism?

[Don Corleone]

He is truly mad!

[Southack]

Summer is the high season for Gulf Coast beaches.

[Retired Greyhound]

We just finally got him to go down there.

[moose2004]

Will Bambi vacation in the Gulf, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard or Hawaii this summer?

[K-oneTexas]

He must do something. Call for tourism. Tell the people what he’ll make BP do. Anything.

Doing this this way helps point the blame away from him.

So the American people can’t think about him and his Administrations ineptitude and mis-handling of this catastrophe.

[RetroSexual]

So I take it that he and the wookie have reserved the top floor of a casino in Biloxi for a week?

You know, for one of those feel-good volunteer experiences, teaching the kids how to clean pelicans.

[fatnotlazy]

Yeah, come see the tarballs...and the dead and dying fish and waterfowl.

"You know, for one of those feel-good volunteer experiences, teaching the kids how to clean pelicans."

Very good!

There are large numbers of summer visitors in the Gulf Beach area. The beaches are open for the most part. Fishing tourism is of course out for awhile. This weekend there is a huge hot air balloon festival. Mobile hosts a multi-day Jazz fest that attract 10’s of thousands. The local amphitheater has a full slate of top name musical stars. There are civil war sites, museums, the navy air museum in Pensacola is awesome.
The fishing charters and scuba dive shops are really hurting but restaurants and area summer attractions are still hiring.
The worst part is this was the year of recovery after Katrina and Ivan hurricanes.

This is still the vacation destination of families in Al, Miss, LA, TN, and fl.

The surf that big only during a hurricane

[TribalPrincess2U]

Please please tour the tarballs.

My azz is on the line here.

[Happy Rain]

Getcha some salt water licorice.

[Recon Dad]

Have you ever gone in the water along the Mississippi gulf, Boloxi, Gulfport etc? You have to go out hundreds of yards before you get the water up to your waist.

[240B]

He said Gulf tourism. He meant Golf tourism.

[chickadee]

Does this mean that Obie will give his seal of approval to go to Las Vegas again? Or is it Gulf, yes; Vegas nyet?

[lag along]

Never have gone to the beaches there. Have been to Biloxi to the casinos and the VA.

It's my November Tsunami.

If I made the comment on this idiocy that I intended to...
Mr. Robinson would very reasonably ban me from FR.

So I’ll go away and stew for a while.

There were explosions in Kenya recently. Obviously that would be another recommended by Obama tourism spot.

[Starboard]

everyone around the country to take a vacation trip to the Gulf

Excepting elitist liberals of course who only vacation abroad or, in a really tough economy, on the Cape.

[ViLaLuz]

“Obama Epic Failure” tour!

[Recon Dad]

The best beaches in the country are from Pensacola to Panama City Beach, best in the country......at least they were. It’s a shame they don’t deserve this.

[proudofthesouth]

I wish I could really say what I think about this POS but I don’t want the FBI knocking on my door.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. Even if he were (miracles of miracles!) to resign he wouldn’t go quietly into the night. He will cause just as much if not more trouble once he is out of office.

I just wish that he had never been conceived.

[lag along]

No one deserves this. My daughter lives in Pensacola. The first time my wife and I came to visit, she thought she was seeing snow.

After Karina Fort Morgan road was 8-10 feet in white sand. Every bit was placed back on the beach. It is against the law here to take and beach sand. If you get a dredging permit in the bay, the state has first rights to all the sand.

I have run out of tears for what is being done and the pathetic response from the feds that has kept us from even helping ourselves. Volunteers have been hindered in every bureaucratic way possible from mandatory classes that are impossible to attend to denying outside help from nations that have volunteered the sweeps and cleaning equipment we could be using.

[Biggirl]

I have a married sister and brother-in-law who live in Navarre, FL, in the Panhandle. This is their retirement home and the Panhandle is home to both military and retired military. This is a kick to their butts. IMHO, this is a COMPLETE SYSTEMATIC FAILURE.

[LibLieSlayer]

It used to be... we are dead... in more ways than one.

We're in agreement with you there.....as a couple who've been to beaches from California, Hawaii, to Australia. Loved Destin during our innaugural trip there last summer.

Obama Encourages Gulf Tourism terrorism

Why not? They always call President Bush a terrorist.

[AzaleaCity5691]

Well, it was anyway.

I convinced my wife to let us move out of the ‘08 by selling her on the fact that we’d be able to have a boathouse in the back and that we’d be able to entertain people coming in from fishing.

That looks to be dead now and honestly, I can’t see why I’d wanna stay here if we won’t be able to fish and go out on the water, especially considering the ghetto you have to drive through to get here.

[lag along]

what ghetto are your talking about.

[yield 2 the right]

Bleepin’ Blankin!

[Recon Dad]

The sand is so good and fine that it’s not even warm when walking on it.
