“On her first trip to the Gulf Coast since the BP oil spill, First Lady Michelle Obama encouraged Americans to consider vacationing on the region’s beaches that have not been directly impacted by oil.
‘It is vacation time. Folks are looking for things to do with their kids, and this would be a great opportunity to do a few things — help this community, send a different message about the extent of the spill, and also think long term about how the rest of the country can help this economy and the folks down here,’ Mrs. Obama said at the Panama City Welcome Center.”
“What an honor that the Obama family has chosen Maine for vacation when they could have gone anywhere in the country,’ said Pingree. ‘Those of us lucky enough to live here know it’s the most beautiful place in the world and I’m glad we can share it with the first family.”
I mean they picked one of the furthest corners on the US map (LOL!)
