Leave Obama Family Alone

[nmbluesky]

Many MSM, Right-wing always whine about Obama Family Vacation again again again again..

Now. They talked about Obama Family plan trip to Gulf Coast this weekend..

Obama's weekend in Florida: Safe to go into the water?
As President Obama and his family prepare to head Saturday to Panama City, Fla., many reporters have two pressing questions.

One, will the president go into the water?

Two, will there be a photo opp?

"I doubt that that will go out specifically on the guidance, but stay tuned," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Obama's weekend getaway is designed to help promote tourism on the Gulf Coast, which took an economic hit from the BP oil spill. As it often does, the White House is keeping specific activities under wraps, in part because of security concerns.

As for hitting the beach, we've always heard that Obama was less than pleased by 2008 snaps taken of him during a 2008 trip to Hawaii. So if he takes the plunge, there's no guarantee the press will get close enough to watch.

Gibbs, meanwhile, seemed exasperated by repeated questions over possible water activities.

"Why don't we all worry about what happens on Saturday?" Gibbs said.

The president and his family are going to Florida to promote "the notion that a region of the country that is heavily dependent upon tourism is alive, well and open for business," Gibbs said.

Obama also plans to talk with local residents about the impact of the oil spill.

He's also "going to have some fun," Gibbs said. "Whether or not he gets in the water is up for clearly some debate. But, look, he will have an opportunity to enjoy the physical beauty of the Gulf and do some work at the same time."

8. I speak Vodkanese, Let me translate

If President Obama and his family want to have private swim in the ocean, the media can fuck off for all I care.

[DevonRex]

9. Ahh. Now that makes sense. Thank you.

Vodkanese is a tough language to learn as early in the day as it was originally posted. :)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. Looks like he is!

[JohnyCanuck]

24. Or at least he's thinking....

Oh shit, I'm in too deep. I can't touch bottom any more. Last time I was this scared in the water was when I bailed out of my Avenger over the Pacific back in WWII days. At least back then I had a life jacket to keep me afloat. I could use one of them right about now.

6. OMG. Is Bush, the elder, okay? He looks like he's drowning. n/t

[Retrograde]

10. Who's the top one? Wilson?

That's my guess based on the companion's dress - definitely not Taft

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. Roosevelt

[Hannah Bell]

19. before he was president -- or got polio

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. yes, he was almost president

[Hannah Bell]

23. he got polio in 1921, at age 39. he married in 1905; that photo looks like a "young married" one.

it's eleanor with him, i believe.

bathing costumes make it before the 20s.

i think some of the others weren't taken in office either.

11. re: the second to last picture, it's appears to show an ass and

a volleyball player.

[firedupdem]

12. LOL

:rofl:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. just look at his face!

[elleng]

18. NEAT! THANKS! Last one's my ALL TIME FAVE!!!

[Canuckistanian]

20. GHW Bush looks like he's in over his head

Very metaphorical.

[merh]

22. Bill Clinton and the other fellow (Roger Clinton?) look like they

are running away from someone. They look like they were caught doing something they should not have been doing and were now being chased.

[applegrove]

25. I remember the comedians of the time commenting that Ronald Reagan had larger breasts

than Nancy. LOL!

[Beacool]

26. Great pics, thanks!!!

FDR and Eleanor had so many clothes on, they probably would be shocked to see what people wear nowadays to the beach.

The Kennedys were a stunning looking couple.

Truman looks very dapper.

The Nixons must have taken a walk on a cold day.

The Fords seem to be having a great time

Someone throw Poppy Bush a life preserver.

I wonder what Bill and Roger were up to.

Nancy looks positively anorexic and Reagan had lost by then his Hollywood good looks. Aging is a drag.

Bush Jr. looks like an ass......as usual.

Very good pic of Obama in the surf.

:D

[Phx_Dem]

7. Yikes, Nancy Reagan nearly had a wardrobe malfunction.

:blush:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. how many bathing suits did she bring?

SNL should do a piece on this and show how Nancy did it!
