What Oil Spill?? Obama and daughter take A Dip In The Gulf of Mexico

What a difference some days makes, once called "Oil World"..now the Gulf is the President's swimming pool.   United States President Barack Obama and his daughter have taken a dip in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to reassure Americans that, despite a massive oil spill, its waters remain safe for tourists.  The President, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their younger daughter, Sasha, travelled to the Florida panhandle city to talk to local officials and business leaders, and highlight the region's tourist attractions.

They later headed into town for a miniature golf outing. Nine-year old Sasha stole the show, hitting a hole-in-one off the first tee, much to the delight of her father, an avid golfer.



The trip comes after US officials announced that energy giant BP's runaway well has been sealed, and that they are moving ahead with plans to make sure it is truly "killed" by pumping cement in through a relief well under the Gulf of Mexico.
