Does Obama's upcoming visit to Asheville prove that he's a communist or a corporatist?
Asheville's known for two things:

1) All the hippies who live there.

2) That monument to Gilded Age Excess known as Biltmore House.

So what message is Obama sending by spending a weekend in Asheville?

And if he comes to town do you think they'll finally get around to clearing all the downed trees on the BRB from this winter's storms?

Your thoughts please.

3. he has good taste in locations?
Asheville is awesome! It's beautiful there.

Maybe they'll go to Grandfather Mountain and Linville Caverns/ Falls /Gorge, and they'll probably mine for gems, and go to Little Switzerland and Tweetsie Railroad and Cherokee and . . .

I miss NC. . . :cry:

4. You could only go to all those places if you had a week, not a weekend
Hell, it takes a whole day to experience Linville Gorge properly.

12. Nothing like seeing Biltmore all decked out for the Victorian Christmas.
Or the flowers in the spring.

8. It doesn't take much thought to recognize
that a politicians visit to any particular place doesn't make him a communist or corporatist.

He is clearly showing his support for beer.

13. Doesn't matter. Either way there will be a scandal
Who's paying for it? Why is he taking a weekend off? He makes us all look weak!

15. The one blue spot
in a sea of red. I like Asheville and go as often as I can. I expect to retire somewhere in the neighborhood.
