President Barack Obama drinks a 'Bushwacker' drink traditionally made with dark rum, coconut cream, creme de cacao, half and half, coffee liqueur, as he makes an unannounced visit to Tacky Jack's, a restaurant, in Orange Beach, Ala., as he visits the Gulf Coast region affected by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill Monday, June 14,2010 ((AP Photo/Charles Dharapak))
And what else was he doing yesterday?

Yep, he had a snow cone with the governors of Mississippi.and Florida
And before that?
Obama eats in solidarity with Gulf Coast
President Obama has certainly put his mouth where his message is during this two-day swing along the Gulf Coast.
He is tucking away enormous amounts of Gulf seafood, eating in solidarity with the fishermen, restaurant owners, and snack bar entrepreneurs who face a sharp decline in customers as a result of the oil spill.
After a walk along Pensacola's white-sand beach Tuesday morning, Obama held a briefing at the Fish Sandwich Shop, owned by Mike and Laura Pinzone. He was joined by Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (I), Sen. George LeMieux (R-Fl), and a host of other federal and local officials.So....someone please riddle me this. If in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, George Bush had of touched down in New Orleans? And was subsequently seen visiting Bourbon street for some Creole and a Hurricane at Pat O'Bien's?
The fish sandwich day starter followed a happy-hour stop the previous evening at Tacky Jack's, a popular bar and restaurant in Orange Beach, Ala., that sits on stilts above the sea. Obama's order: crawfish tails, crab claws, seafood salad (and some ribs and nachos, referred to on the menu as "Mexican Garbage.")
Do you think the media would have noticed? Do you think that they might have taken exception to it? Does any one think that those like Nancy Pelosi wouldn't have had their heads spinning like Linda Blair in the Exorcist while vomiting their bile all over a welcoming and recipient media?
Certainly not.
Nothing to see here folks....move along. Just your president eating shrimp and snow cones and throwing back a 'Bushwhacker.'
Oh and one more thing....funny isn't it. I mean the name of that drink? A 'Bushwahcker?' Kind of fitting when you think about it.
