President Barack Obama is giving love to the Panama City Beach, Florida region after Deepwater Horizon Oil spill. Obama and first lady Michelle, along with daughter Sasha, took a vacation to the area in hopes to encourage others visit the area as well.
According to reports, the first family only allowed official White House photog Pete Souza to snap pics. Ultimately, the pictures are a part of an "effort to show that Gulf Coast beaches and waters are in good shape despite the BP oil spill."
The President took swims with 9-year-old daughter Sasha in the ocean waters and Michelle guided the family on a boat tour. In an interview with the Associated Press, the President asserted that the cleanup efforts were successful and the area is now "open for business".
"As a result of the cleanup effort, beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business," Obama said.

No one is so powerful that they can stop the march of time...
And so it is happening – that which was predicated, foretold by those with commonsense - those who were living through the horror known as the Deep Water Horizon Disaster. The oil was spewing forth and the government and BP were trying to hide the amount by dispersing it with COREXIT.
You cannot pour on, spray onto or disperse the oil without creating an even bigger ecological disaster.
