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

[Dwight Williams]

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.
