Exactly. The PCB trip is just a quick photo opp and hope to get some thought that he cares about the Gulf Coast. My guess is that St Joe is the big push to get him here. If he comes in October, then that could be a real vacation, but you are right, for this time of year, Martha's Vineyard is very nice and the better choice.

It seems that the Obama's real vacation isn't going to be in PCB. It will be in Martha's Vineyard, where they will be staying for longer than a quick photo opp.

If they're on vacation and they're here- isn't it a "real vacation" here?

:dunno:

Why do they get credit for taking vacation in Martha's Vineyard but not here?

Are you really asking that Geo? Think about it. They fly in on one afternoon to ECP airport (photo opp for JOE and Obama). Then, a quick check in to a house/condo/resort in the afternoon, and change into swimwear and hit the beach for 45 minutes. Then probably out for ice cream, then dinner. Maybe a little Club La Vela, or more likely, just bed. Then wake up, another 30 minutes on the beach before flying back out and going to Martha's Vineyard. They won't have time to actually rent a beach chair set up and enjoy the beach. Vacation? ha!

Except for Martha's Vineyard, I've done that vacation! :lol:

Also, hearing he will be the guest MC for the Wet T-Shirt contest at Club la Vela.

That's not far-fetched. He made an appearance on The View daytime TV...why not "The View" at La Vela...got to appeal to the younger voters as well. MTV has made it an icon for Spring Break. I'm sure the Secret Service would have a connipting fit if he actually wanted to go to La Vela...but stranger things have happened.

Panama City Beach will get a lot of mileage out of the visit. So will the new airport - or will he fly in to Eglin? Either way, businesses in the panhandle will take any help they can get right now.

He will probably fly into Eglin. Any time a Pres. comes to Atlanta they fly into Dobbins AFB. They'll have rolling roadblocks to escort them to and from their destination. I'm with you on the publicity. We can take all we can get right now. Bring it!
