Obama Drinks Flint Water to Show Residents It's Safe

Description

President Barack Obama sipped filtered water in Flint, Michigan, on Wednesday, May 4th, and assured parents that anyone older than six could do the same during a visit to a city still reeling from a scandal over lead-tainted drinking water. Obama made the trip to the mostly African American community to reassure residents that the water was safe even as he predicted it would take more than two years to replace the city’s aging pipes, which leached lead into the drinking water.
