I haven't heard anyone mentioning it, but Michelle Obama is coming to Panama City Beach today, July 12 2010. Anyone going to see her or know where she will be? It says that it is an open event, but I've yet to hear the location of her speech. I wonder what she will tell us that we don't already know.

(source)
WASHINGTON -- First lady Michelle Obama will travel to Panama City Beach, Fla., on Monday to meet with members of the community and discuss the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the White House announced this afternoon.

The first lady will begin her visit with a briefing by officials and local leaders. She will then speak to the Panama City Beach community at an open event in the early evening, White House officials said.

Oh Goody! Can't wait to see her! :roll: Has P.C. even been affected? Why not Pensacola, Louisiana, AL, or MS? Water & air too fouled in those places for the 1st lady?

The "open" meeting is still confusing to me. Why isn't the location of the "open" meeting made public? I cannot find any news story announcing the location.

It, like so much of Obama's transparency, is an open "closed" meeting evidently.:D

If one can only register to hopefully be invited, it isn't "open" to the public. Your link indicates that the Press event is open, so I guess she will be communicating with the public via the press. Oh, well.

Yes, that was my take on it as well, sadly. It was the most updated link I could find at this time... hmmm

IMO, how wonderful to have an American Fist Lady grace the NW Fla. Panhandle area--such an honor for us all!
