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.

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?

I would love to see Michelle Obama, too.

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.
Beach Fanatic
It, like so much of Obama's transparency, is an open "closed" meeting evidently.
Beach Fanatic
Yes, it appears to still be a secret location, but here I found a link where you can RSVP to possibly attend the open press event:
Michelle Obama, July 12, 13, 14 - Lynn Sweet

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.

Consistent inconsistencies.

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!

You guys will complain and find an agenda in anything! :roll:
The First Lady is making a brief visit to get info, it's not a public appearance and further details have to be worked out.

Personally, I'd rather see her pushing the gov't to step in, push BP aside, and plug the damn hole.

I think you'll get your "plug the damn hole" wish this week. Things are looking really good for the new cap system.

As the Glenster would say, "Hmmm. Hmmm. These things just make you think, don't they?"

Y'all are funny!!
Letting spies go back to their respective country as an even trade, to boot!

Wouldn't that be nice, but that is no cap to plug the hole. That is a temporary system, which will have to be cut for the oil to flow freely when the next storm approaches. It is better than nothing, but not the solution to the problem.

I think she got a discount for a Southwest flight out of Baltimore. ;-)

I had to stop for her motorcade to get past...lots of cops on motorcycles and squad cars but no elaborate limos...just a coupla non-descript navy vans and cars...I understand it was mostly business and tourism people she was meeting with. She did fly in to the new airport...not sure about the discount
Perhaps our TDC director can fill us in on the details.

she was probably trying to lay on the down low so that the locals wouldn't think about the millions of dollars spent just for her to fly down to PC for a photo op.

I think she was actually on a house hunting expedition...White House South....

Who cares? Just fake PR. Gee was she in a sleeveless top?
