Poll: Do you think the Obama family will swim in the gulf?

Will the First Fam get in the water when they visit Panama City Beach next weekend?

Free advice to the prez: get yourself and kids in the swimsuits and get in the water.

If there are pictures of the Prez gazing out over the Gulf in a suit and tie -- Nixon style -- people are going to be p.o.'d....

Let's make it a poll: will they or wont' they get in the water?

I think they will.

Dwight, hate to disappoint you but this first family doesn't get in the water, they walk on it, or so I have been told.

Absolutely they'll have to for a photo op!

beach will be cleared, they'll hang out, but i doubt they get in past their ankles. They've been on vacation for a month and Michelle and Sasha just vaca'd on the coast of Spain. This is nothing more than a "put your money where your mouth is" stop.

agree with SSB.

And I am glad they are choosing to show some support for the Gulf as they asked others to do.

If wading along edge of water counts as getting in, then I think they may do that.

If they don't go in the water, there will be those who think they aren't doing as they ask others to; but if they do get in there will be those who say it's just a photo op (like anything they do isn't?) or that they shouldn't have exposed their daughter to potential toxins.:roll:

It's a guaranteed damned if you do - damned if you don't situation.

He'll do it all. He's going parasailing, he's going to shuck and eat a few oysters, expect to see him on a water slide, he'll hit Ms. Newby's for some Hunch Punch and maybe chat with a few bikers. If he can get away from the wife he may end up at Tan Fanny's over on Beck Ave. I just hope he has a designated driver.

Aren't they staying on the bay? Does swimming in the bay count?

Where's the "I could care less" option?

If the june grass is as bad in PCB as it is here then he would be a fool.

Maybe they could take Bo for a walk on the dog beach by Pier Park.

He ignored the oil spill for 50 days so we are planning to ignore Obumble's photo-op stopover at PCB. He really believes the 'little people' are so stupid so easily persuaded, that his coming here will heal the knowledge of his incompetence.

Who says the Obamas know HOW to swim?

Ouch!

Then I'm the biggest fool because I don't mind June Grass and often get in the middle of it. But then again I also like mud wrestling.

Who says the Obamas know HOW to swim?

Quite a few of colleges/universities require students to pass a swimming test to graduate, including MIT. Tulane did when I was there -- don't know if they still do. Wonder if the Obamas' alma maters (Columbia and Princeton) required such a test? Anyone know of schools that have this requirement?

I've seen a copy of his swimmer certificate, but I think it's bogus. I think he should release the original and put an end to all of this.

I wonder if the Obama's ever watched JAWS or Shark Week.

Where the heck did that question come from?

Obama grew up in Hawaii FTLOC! Of course he can swim.

I'm sure there are many people who live near the beach who cannot swim. Living in close proximity to water doesn't mean that people know how to swim.

and if you were referring to my other question, Shark Week and JAWS has been keeping swimmers out of the water for years.

President Obama knows how to swim. :roll:

Could the poll question be editted to:

Do you think the Obama family will swim or do the dog paddle in the gulf?

Good one.

That being said, I am so tired of hearing people question his birth certificate.

I wonder if the Obama's ever watched JAWS or Shark Week.

Jaws scarred me for life. At least in the Panhandle the water is usually clear, so I can be on the lookout for

I heard that Obama was going to take his family to the Outpost over on the north side of the bay!

What is that? I'm not familiar.

I had read Obama is a big fan of Ripley's and enjoys visiting all of the museums around the Country. He wants to see the guy with 4 pupils.
