KEY WEST, Fla. – A sea turtle named after President Barack Obama that was rescued just before Inauguration Day has been set free on Independence Day.

Obama the loggerhead sea turtle was found ailing off a Key West beach on Jan. 19, the eve of the inauguration. Suffering from an intestinal impaction, the 200-pound female was nursed back to health with a diet of squid and mineral oil at the Turtle Hospital in Marathon.

Turtle Hospital administrator Ryan Butts said the turtle was set free Saturday on a Key West beach as about 100 people watched. He says it was appropriate to give the loggerhead its liberty on the Fourth of July after being rescued at a historic moment.

He says the loggerhead "took off" after being set on the sand and "swam away with all the energy it had."

I've seen them much bigger than that off Tampa Bay. I saw a huge one that was dead, and all of his flippers had been chewed off. Plenty of sharks in that area also.

I'll bet it swam away with all the energy it had....



I would too if I had been given a name like that!!!:ack2: :ack2:

With what he's done in the time I'd held that name, it's either swim away fast and take my chances with the sharks, or maybe suicide straight into the props of a cruise ship......:ack2: :ack2:
