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.

The announcement that Obama was coming generated excitement from Williamsburg Mayor Clyde Haulman. "I think it's terrific. Williamsburg was voted as the number one family destination," Haulman said. "The first family is coming to the first destination."
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," Haulman said.

“long-planned family trip to”__________
Fill in the blank.
Just how many vacations have they “planned”?
They must have a full-time travel agent on staff.
Sheesh!
When will the ground strikes start. Will they target Toyota trucks.
didn’t they just get back from spring break
they need a vacation to recover from their vacation
My current understanding of a “no fly zone” is that many ground targets are hit, and highways are strafed. Is that what they’re planning? Do we have enough cruise missiles to take out Williamsburg?
“Free world.” They got that right. Money for nothing.
If mac daddy stayed at his desk and did the work he was elected to do, instead of going on his 201 th vacation the FAA would not have to restrict air travel for joe six pack.
The most crooked, useless, lying, arrogant POTUS ever to soil the peoples house.
...and now to soil my beloved Williamsburg! YUCK!!!!!
Why does he have such a problem with flies?
And didn’t they all just get back from Latin America? Wow.
I truly do believe that man is afraid to spend a nite in the White House.
The spirits of Presidents past just won’t allow Obama to sleep, they know the real story about this scam artist.
The FAA is casting out flies by order of Beelzebub, lord of the flies? A kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.
Can we please have a normal POTUS who is not a magnet for unclean critters?
LOL! Him & the old lady spent a nite in the Lincoln bedroom and Abe showed up and smacked him around like a red headed step child.
Heh! So many photoshop ops with your comment.
Yes you are right, I can imagine some 42 or so Presidents all standing around with stern looks and one that is saying its been done before and he got away not being a Natural Born Citizen.
Then Chester Arthur shows up and sez: “I feel your pain, dude.”
; )
That was exactly what was on my mind.
It would make an EXCELLENT campaign image!
Exactly right. This usurper has violated not only the sancity of our White House, but has disturbed the peaceful sleep of all benevolent spirits of truth and justice. Our great Fathers are unable to rest as long as this obamanation profanes the heart and home of the Beautiful Land these brave and Godly men gave us as our inheritance.
The demon spawn obama has fomented a spiritual battle of the highest order, and made his headquarters in the highest office in the land. Out with this squalid squatter.
What's with Barry and Malia? He's always holding hands or has his arm around her waist or draping his arm across her shoulders..............more like her boyfriend trying to "cop a feel" than a father. Reminds me of Woody Allen..............
I would also dare to say that the spirits will not rest at all if Obama is granted immunity from prosecution or is allowed to fade away without due and proper justice as well.
