The leader of the free world may be coming to Williamsburg for some rest and relaxation if Congress is able to come to agreement on the budget. President Obama and the First Family are planning to visit the area this weekend in what the White House described Wednesday as a "long-planned family trip to Colonial Williamsburg."
But the trip might get grounded if a government shutdown can't be averted by Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
On Thursday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration established a no-fly zone over Williamsburg that will be in place from Friday through Monday. Jessica Wharton, spokeswoman for the Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport, said the no-fly zone will not affect the arrival and departure times at the airport for this weekend.

He should be vacationing unprotected on the “very safe” Mexican border.

Not fair to not warn the public....Why should the Obama's ruin the vacation of others.
I lived there for a year. It was great....especially nice in the off season when Williamsburg is practically a ghost town.

I hope it screws their freakin’ trip up big time.

I’m thinking his handlers tell him when to ‘lay low’ and he’s taking us for all he can while the gettin’s good.

Yes - if Gaddafi has a no-fly zone and “has to go” then certainly we have to be fair and insist that Obama has to go as well.

I hate to break it to y’all... and Lord knows I detest the guy as much as anybody... but flight restrictions around AF-1 are just part of the territory that comes with the job. They have to do that nomatter who the President is.

Did he get U.N. permission and more importantly is the Arab League on board?

He is going to visit Colonial Williamsburg; America as founded. It’s showing a feigned interest in traditional values; a campaign stop and photo op.

I can’t see a good reason for him to not just go to his HOME in Chicago when he feels the need, or Camp David. It is a sick man that behaves the way he does. Always needs to be on TV, always jetting off, with numerous hangers-on, sometimes flies either his wife or the family dog in a separate plane. It is too much.

Obama n. ōBAHmah 1. a lazy, shiftless, inexperienced man. 2. an egotistical braggard without merit, 3. a worker foolishly hired to do a job for which he has no qualifications 4. pathetic narcissist. Harry knew he'd hired an Obama when he found the new employee considered the break room his second office. v. 1. lazy, shiftless, 2. egotistical, 4. incapable 3. narcissistic. Judy's husband was so Obama that even being in the same room with him was unbearable.

"The announcement that Obama was coming generated excitement from Williamsburg Mayor Clyde Haulman...Haulman said that he didn't know where the Obamas would be staying or what was on their schedule. "I was just informed that they were coming.
I don't know where they're staying in Williamsburg,"Long-planned? I guess they forgot to book a room.
