Obama Visits the Gulf Coast

So. Friggin'. What.

He even swims! In the water! EXCEPT...he goes swimming in a bay that was NOT affected by the oil spill. And the part of the Gulf just outside Alligator Point is OUTSIDE the fishing ban that still exists.

If you wanted to prove your point, Mr. Obama, go just a bit further west, near the Alabama/Florida border. Where there is still a ban on fishing...are you going to eat the fish there? Or the shrimp? The local delicacy is mullet...my family had many a fish fry with that delicious gift from the sea. But we can't now because the mullet is a bottom-feeder...and all the oil that ISN'T floating on the surface is on the sea-floor.

Or keep heading further west still, Mr. Obama. To the Louisiana coast, where the marshes are STILL affected by the oil. To the oyster beds that were coated with dispersed oil.

So swim away, Mr. Obama. Far away. Far away from the areas that were really affected. Just as you are ideologically far away from the common folk to whom you promised such great things.

I pray for you: Psalm 109:8. Amen.
