He’s never been shied away from showing off his toned physique.

But President Barack Obama’s latest beach moment might yet come back to haunt him after he enlisted his youngest daughter for a publicity stunt.

In an attempt to show the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, despite the massive BP oil spill, were safe he took the plunge with youngest daughter Sasha in a very carefully controlled photo opportunity.

No photographers or reporters were allowed to be present for the short dip in the Gulf waters off Alligator Point in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Oh no , this just isn't right.

Every father has been here , there is nothing to acuse Obama of.

What make this anything other than ordinary are the circumstances other than who he is and who she is.

I don't want our presidents to have to become so reagal that they cannot show affection to their family members , there is no point in demanding abnormal behavior of them.

Jeez, if Kramer took his daughter to the beach, would he want it to be a photo opportunity?

Everyone has a right to some privacy and to determine when they want it. There is no stunt here.
When Michelle goes to Spain, the righties get all upset and criticize her fr not going to the Gulf. Then the President goes to the Gulf and suddenly it's a "stunt".

I guess you folks are so used to seeing Obama behind a teleprompter that you didn't even see the photo-shopped picture. Yes folks, Obama is swimming with his kid and using a teleprompter to entice people to swim in the Gulf. But he wasn't swimming in the Gulf.

I have no idea whether he actually swam or not, but, really, does this matter? Aren't there larger issues such as how to get this Great Recession turned around?

We all know he's good at PR, most of the time. He does come off well...

you should lose about 50 pounds, dye your hair, shop for your wardrobe at other places than Walmart and see a good dentist.
