Military prepares for President Obama's visit to Fresno
~snips~
President Barack Obama's trip to Fresno is scheduled for Friday, but signs of his arrival are already visible.
A military transport plane and presidential aircraft are parked at Fresno's airport.
The presidential choppers and the Ospreys came off a big transport plane and are being readied at the Army National Guard base. The aircraft are expected to be used to carry the president and his entourage on a tour of the Valley.
Congressman Jim Costa of Fresno will be accompanying the president. He told us by phone from Washington, President Obama is deeply concerned about the drought.
"He wanted to see first-hand the impacts of very, very productive land that doesn't have surface water and well water, and we are working on that, and we hope it will be a very productive visit," said Costa.
Security will of course be tight.
"He wanted to see first-hand the impacts of very, very productive land that doesn't have surface water and well water, and we are working on that, and we hope it will be a very productive visit," said Costa. Let me guess...Obama's going to enhance productivity by pissing on the parched, conservative Central Valley.
Jim Costa belongs in the unemployment line. Well, so does Barry Soetoro.
