Obamas are coming to Asheville this weekend!

Enjoy Mr President and Family

Asheville officials say presidential visit priceless

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Business leaders in a North Carolina mountain city say a visit from President Barack Obama's family will bring plenty of good publicity.

The Citizen-Times of Asheville reported Sunday that local officials say having the leader of the free world choose your city for vacation trumps millions in advertising dollars.

The Obamas will arrive in Asheville on Friday and plan no public events. The family will spend the weekend at the Grove Park Inn.

5. What's he doing wasting taxpayer money on vacations?

George W. Bush never went on vacation, but instead spent 24/7 protecting Amarekur from them tearists and libruls and nuklear bumbs from I-Ran!! The Teabaggers and Fox News will be all over this....."Communist, Fascist, Marxist President Insults American People By Taking Vacation During War".

:sarcasm:

6. The President won't be in Asheville all weekend.

He and VP Biden are coming to Beckley, West Virginia, on Sunday, for a memorial service for the miners who died in the Upper Big Branch mine. The service starts at 3:00 pm.
