Obamas Will Visit Yellowstone, Grand Canyon

Share

(Newser) – President Obama will visit two national parks during a family trip to the Mountain West next week, the Denver Post reports. The first family will travel to to Colorado and Montana in addition to Wyoming, home of Yellowstone, and Arizona, where they'll see the Grand Canyon.

The trip is meant “to highlight our national park system," says White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, noting that it coincides with a no-fee weekend. Obama also will continue the presidential tradition of addressing the annual VFW convention in Phoenix, the AP reports.

Did you complain when Bush was off to Texas at every opportunity? Bush was creating the problems you're complaining that President Obama ought to stay in Washington to fix. Not to worry President Obama will get the job done. Though i don't think you're wishing him success.

You do remember your hero spent 1/4th of his time when worked out in Crawford Texas? So much so the Cell Phone providers tossed up an expensive tower for his personal use? Don't worry, I am sure they passed those cost along to the tax payer somehow via a surcharge on the phones. Most of the trips Obama has taken thus far have all been related to talks in other countries, this will be something for the children I am sure coupled with anual Presidentual appearances that after reading the article all or many of the Presidents make. You honetly should work on those anger issues, it takes your trolling to a new low, even for you
