Obama likely to be in Coachella Valley for Father's Day
The Desert Sun, June 11, 2015
"There's nothing I can say at this time. I haven't heard anything definitive," said Ken Chavez, a spokesperson for the Sunnylands Center and Gardens in Rancho Mirage, where Obama has stayed and golfed during previous visits.
Asked if he'd been forewarned about an Obama visit over Father's Day weekend, Palm Springs International Airport executive director Tom Nolan said he "cannot comment either way."
The White House press office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
On his first visit to the Coachella Valley, in June 2013, Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed climate change and other global issues at Sunnylands. When the United States and China announced a landmark climate change agreement last year, the deal was hailed in some circles as the "son of Sunnylands."
Since then, Obama's visits to the Coachella Valley have looked increasingly like vacations.
