The Obamas are in the Coachella Valley
The Obamas are in the Coachella Valley, hours after they were supposed to land at the Palm Springs International Airport.
Obama’s plane was originally supposed to land at the Palm Springs International Airport, but the weather forced their plane to circle the Palm Springs airport at least a few times at about 4:15 p.m.
The family landed at the March Air Reserve Base at 5:45 p.m. March Air Reserve Base is located between Riverside and Moreno Valley.’
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Obama ”vowed to take his family to a destination that is warmer than Washington, D.C.” today, but some uncharacteristically rainy weather made their approach into Palm Springs International Airport untenable.
The Obamas will stay in Rancho Mirage at the home of outgoing U.S. Ambassador to Spain James Costos and his husband, interior designer Michael Smith, who’s been the White House decorator since 2008, the celebrity news site TMZ reported. The house is inside the Thunderbird Heights gated community. Obama has stayed at the home four times during his presidency.
