President Obama in Jacksonville Saturday, but not for the public

Barack Obama in Kissimmee

President Barack Obama is taking time away from wrapping his term up to visit Jacksonville for a staffer’s wedding Saturday.

He has no public events slated, and no media availability … almost as if he’d exhausted his quota of such in the Sunshine State during the presidential campaign.

President Obama arrives at Jacksonville International Airport at 5:50 p.m., and will be “fired up and ready to go” 90 minutes later, according to an advisory from the White House.

The arrival and departure of Air Force One are closed to the public.

However, media will show up to film his arrival and departure.

Perhaps President Obama will wave and offer a bon mot so they have sound.
