Obama definitely visiting

After my harrowing account of island life, our president has decided to come to Martha's Vineyard and see for himself. CNN.com verified it Saturday. Thanks to James for enlightening me that the news is official. An interesting Politico story also reads:

"An article about the Vineyard in New York Magazine reported: 'In the past, Obama has spent time playing golf with Vernon Jordan, swimming off South Beach, playing basketball ... reading and watching the ferries, and taking the girls for ice cream on Circuit Avenue.'"

Ice cream on my street? Alright!

Just because the news is official doesn't mean rumors can't continue a'flyin'. I've heard Obama will be staying with Spike Lee, only a little over a mile from my restaurant, Mediterranean (probably not true), that secret service agents have been in Mediterranean to scout out its safety as a dining location (almost definitely true), and that Michelle Obama and the gals will be here August 15, with the main man showing up two days later. They're supposed to be vacationing here for a couple weeks, and it'll definitely be a media blitz. Can't wait for the circus.

PS - This justifies the Boston Globe column where the author wrote vacation advice to the Obamas.
