PANAMA CITY, Fla (SR) - First Lady Michelle Obama inadvertently created quite a stir when she visited Panama City Florida Tuesday to meet with local officials and residents about the ongoing oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
At one photo-op stop on an area beach, Obama unexpectedly startled a group of sunbathing German tourists when she approached them walking barefoot in the surf. Several in the party screamed hysterically and ran from the First Lady, while others froze in terror at what they believed to be a "mutant sea creature" coming out of the ocean.
"They were absolutely scared to death," said one onlooker. "They thought she was some kind of marine creature, like maybe a giant shrimp that the oil had mutated into a Klingon."
Local police officers managed to calm the tourists, but authorities are still searching for an elderly woman who is missing and presumed drowned.
My comments: This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Even I know mutant sea creatures don't have feet that big.
