Now that he has the time, it would be great if he liked it enough to come back!

Former President Obama visits Adirondacks

SARANAC LAKE — It has been confirmed that former President Barack Obama visited the local area this week, via the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear.

Rumors about Obama swirled Friday, with numerous third-hand reports that he had flown in and out of the airport. People who clearly knew something refusing to speak to the press. But the gossip was hard to verify until late Friday night when NBC 5 news anchor Stephanie Gorin posted pictures on Facebook of Obama posing with airport worker Richie Hewitt on the tarmac beside a private plane. The distinct profile of St. Regis Mountain is seen in the background.

Gorin’s post echoed what rumors had said, that Obama was here for “fishing with a friend,” although she didn’t identify her source. She said the 44th president of the United States departed Friday.

It is not known that Obama came to the Adirondacks during his eight years as president. His predecessors, Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, both visited publicly during their time in the White House.
