Last thing I want is to start a political battle but I know there are some folks on here that would actually like to see this video. I am not going to post replies, rebutles, political arguments etc in this thread. Take it for face value, I know its slanted but I still think it makes an important impact and I feel this issue was not handled correctly from the start...

If you're not interested in discussing the facts, I'm not even sure why you posted this. 30 seconds in and it's already wrong on the Jones Act, I'm not going to waste my time watching it any further.

It is a bias video. But aren't we permitted to voice our opinion? Should we just censor the media all together? Thats 2 more vacations in a month, than I have taken all year. I, by no means are suggesting that the Pres. should not take vacations with his family, but timing is everything!
It really sucks having to answer my 4 year old daughter when she asks me "if the oil from the oil spill will kill all the Mermaids in the ocean?" And "will the oil kill us if we go in the ocean when we go to Destin?"
The oil spill is NOT the Presidents fault, but it IS his responsibility!
My 2 cents

Sure, express your opinions, but don't confuse facts with opinions and this video is factually off base regardless of what your opinions are.
