BANGOR, Maine — The first family will spend next weekend vacationing on Mount Desert Island, according to U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree.
President Barack Obama and his family are scheduled to arrive Friday, July 16, and stay through Sunday, July 18.
Information about where the family would stay and the sights they might take in while visiting Maine was not available Friday night. The visit is a personal family vacation and no public appearances are scheduled, Pingree said.
“What an honor that the Obama family has chosen Maine for vacation when they could have gone anywhere in the country,” she said. “I think the Obamas will really enjoy the quiet woods, beautiful coast, wonderful people and everything else that brings thousands of families here every year.”
While White House officials were mum about where on the island the first family would stay, Obama has political connections on MDI. George Mitchell, U.S. special envoy for Middle East peace, owns a home in Seal Harbor. Mitchell and his wife, Heather, have two children, Andrew, 12, and Claire, 9. The Obama children, Malia and Sasha, are 12 and 9, respectively.
Last August, the first family visited Yellowstone National Park and Grand Canyon National Park. The Obamas also spent time on Martha’s Vineyard in August 2009.
Information about whether the family would arrive in Air Force One, the presidential jet, was not available. Neither the Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton nor the Portland International Jetport has runways long enough to accommodate the Boeing 747.
Air Force One could land at Bangor International Airport and the Obamas could take a helicopter to the airport in Trenton, then take a motorcade to MDI. Last summer, Air Force One landed on Cape Cod, the family took a helicopter to Martha’s Vineyard, then rode in a motorcade to the 28-acre compound where they stayed.
Why didn’t he take a job as a community organizer at Six Flags or Gay Disney?
It's about time!
It's long overdue.
Don't put any money in country club stock this week.
If ya' can't plug the "damn" hole ya' may as well try to hit it.
I already feel sorry for the lobsters MEchelle will “pig-out” on...lol.

I would rather have a copperhead snake in my kitchen than this Muslim imposter in my state.
More ignorant people more impressed with the office of the President than of the fraud that is in the job.
Maybe if we can get enough Republicans elected we can impeach the faker and give him a vacation in Leavenworth.
what happened to a laser-like focus on the economy and the employment disaster? ... let's harness our dead horses together for speed.
May they both catch crabs.
I spend a lot of time over there. King Barack is as welcome as a nor’easter.
RobertRedford's showing him how to smolder before a teleprompter.
"My Kennebunkport is on the South Side of Chicago," Obama said in a recent [2008] interview with the Chicago Tribune. "Our friends are here. Our family is here. We are going to try to come back here as often as possible ... at least once every six weeks or couple months."
Obama keeps his word... /s
LOL! I’m more *concerned* about what she’s going to wear!
Oh dear Lord, this liberal copy writes itself:
President Obama in a departure from the previous administration has limited his and his family’s vacation to a scant three days in Maine. The situation in the gulf and other concerns in the US and around the world weight heavy on the President’s mind and Press Secretary Gibbs told us that “he did not feel comfortable with an extended vacation such as those that former President Bush took during the WOT”
THE ABOVE IS FROM MY IMAGINATION - IT DID NOT HAPPEN yet.

Considering how often he goes on vacation he will cover the rest of the country soon enough.
Mount Desert Island, Maine.
Why not Grand Isle, La.?
sounds very much like the southern "Moon Pie" thrown by the thousands during Mardi gra.
Has he been back to Chicago ONCE?
Well its about time. Vacationing at Camp David can be a draining experience.
