A note to skeptics: Obamao is a real living mythical creature first found in China and then in the U.S.
One of Obamao's early speeches, titled "From The Bottom Up," was devoted to the benefits of politically correct swimming. It taught the American people, women, and minorities, how to stay afloat in preparation for the radiant, shovel-ready future. True to his own rules, Obamao swam wherever he could. His penchant for swimming made it an accepted physical activity for many Americans, who until then never heard of water. In 1970, Obamao swam for the first time in Hawaii, where village elders taught him the secret of the Hawaiian dog paddle. It inspired him to compose a glorious autobiography and become the first American President.
On the 40th anniversary of that great event (August 14, 2010), jubilant masses of Floridians, tourists, and Gov. Charlie Crist crowded the beaches to participate a great "Suspend-the-Disbelief" extravaganza celebrating their First President who discovered water. Obamao attended the event and personally swam to stress his wholehearted support for the importance of swimming, just like Mao before him in the Yellow River, which famously launched the Cultural Revolution of 1966.

The New York Times: "An American epic of science, politics, race, honor, and high society - the Great 27-Hour Florida Dip is a riveting story of the greatest feat this country has ever known."
The Huffington Post: "Resolutely facing the menacing tide, the President towered over the Florida coastline like the bronze Colossus of Rhodes. Noticing a festive gathering of barges on the horizon, he gracefully waved in Morse code to their unionized working collectives, who responded with unanimous, spontaneous salvos of cannons and fireworks. With a knowing, compassionate smile, the President made five small, elegant steps towards the water and froze again, his red swim trunks flapping in the wind like two glorious flags of change. In his benign wisdom, the President allowed the surf to caress his extraordinarily shiny ankles, while he sophisticatedly scratched his sculptured gluteus maxima, mobilizing his enormous willpower for the decisive, irreversible plunge."
The Washington Post: "The sand in the President's footsteps didn't crumble, but remained still against all forces of nature, to preserve the magnificent shape of the Presidential forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot for eternity. For a few brief moments, Obamao exchanged jokes with the masses and taught a small business owner how to swim feet first. Then he faced the horizon and with brisk, resolute strokes swam towards the setting sun, quickly disappearing from view."
Scientific American: "The President's strokes involved extraordinarily rhythmic and coordinated movements of all major body parts. His breathing was precisely synchronized with the strokes, too. Human scientists believe that it is possible to swim by moving only legs without arms or only arms without legs; such strokes may be used for special purposes, for training or exercise, or by amputees and paralytics. Being neither of those, the President purposefully used all his organs - torso, arms, legs, hands, feet, and head."
Thus started Obama's famed 27-hour swim to the Deep Horizon oil well and back, in which he was accompanied by the First Lady and their daughter, as well as media reporters and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Upon reaching the Deep Horizon, Obamao quizzed the rig workers about their working conditions and violations of labor codes by corporate management. Then, in one easy movement, he produced a beer cooler from the pocket of his swim trunks and passed the bottles around, to the sounds of cheers and praise of his leadership. Good-naturedly, with humor and jokes, Obamao instructed the oil workers how to drill for better and cleaner fuel.
By the time Obamao resurfaced, everyone was well-rested and together they swam back to the shore.
After a few hours of swimming Obamao paused and improvised, with only one teleprompter, an emotional speech to a passing flock of oil-smothered pelicans. In his speech, he outlined his plan to save the world and promised that he would personally issue stimulus checks and drivers licenses to all birds affected by the oil spill. Further along the way, Obamao fought and won an unequal battle with a band of hostile tar balls, released the Kraken, and achieved energy independence.
When the First Lady complained that all the swimming was making her sea-sick, Obamao raised his arms, the waters parted, and he and his family walked the remaining ten miles on foot, accompanied by members of the media and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.
"It's the biggest single miracle you could imagine," Florida Gov. Charlie Crist told the gathering of Floridians, Mexican tourists, and reporters. "God bless him for utilizing his superhuman powers to promote swimming in Florida, where it still remains a fairly unknown type of physical activity."
Pictures of Obamao's head bobbing above the water, surrounded by swimmers carrying huge banners celebrating his achievement, were seen not only throughout America but around the world. The international mass media reported it is as a clear demonstration that, even though living in Washington has separated Obamao from people of the earth, birds of the sky, and fishes of the sea, he still has enough magic left in him to lead the masses towards the final and unconditional national election in November.
