The news that Michelle Obama is coming to our area started with a tweet:
On July 3, News 12 reporter Tara Rosenblum tweeted: “The first lady is heading to Westchester! Michelle Obama will be @ Blue Hill Farm in Bedford on July 15 for a fundraiser for the President.”
Well, sort of. It looks like Michelle Obama is coming to Blue Hill Restaurant at Stone Barns on Bedford Road, in Pocantico Hills.
But getting more info right now on Sunday's would-be event is like trying to sniff out truffles in the forest.
's Communications Director Mara Flanagan had no comment.
Calling the White House – which surprisingly gets picked up before the phone even seems to ring – yielded an email address to the First Lady's Press Office. The email sent this morning was soon answered but with no more advance info. "We are happy to provide a pull report and full transcript after the event if you would be interested," said the unnamed emailer.
Stone Barns enjoys a nice relationship with Michelle Obama, who toured the agricultural educational center back in September 2010. She visited the farm with wives of UN dignitaries when area third graders were participating in farm-based education, followed by a lunch at the prestigious Blue Hill. The Pocantico Hills children there were obviously thrilled with the opportunity to .
Dan Barber, executive chef at Blue Hill, is a member of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. The council was formerly dedicated to fitness and sports, but under this First Lady's leadership it added the healthy eating component of nutrition to its efforts.

more money on non-official travel than any other president in history. In fact, he set the presidential record for most vacation days. I didn't hear any complaints from the Republicans about any of this. Did you?
Maybe it was the part about her law license being surrendered that got the comment booted.
I am voting Romney - nationally, Obummah is a disgrace and a scam on the American People. He's a foreign policy disaster and ultimate nightmare. We are now not trusted, we are a second rate paper tiger on the world stage and a laughing stock of the world. Imam Obummah has thrown American our allies and our Constitution under the bus. and he has NO RIGHT to hold the office - his father was Kenyan and NOT a Citizen of the USA when O was born - O is NOT Natural Born - special rules under OUR Constitution for holding the office of POTUS. Step away from the koolaid.
Obummah? to be relegated to the garbage heap of wannabe Dictators. PS> what is Obummah hiding? why all those sealed records? Why Executive Privilege in the felony murder cases of FastAndFurious? Time to impeach and indict Obama for felony murder - ATF Agents Terry and Zapata murdered because of O's attempt to beat up on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution. NOBAMA IN 2012!!!!!!!!!!! and everyone please check out the new videos and pix posted to the FASNY articles about TeaTown "consults" (a Geoff Thompson adventure again). Where ya gonna put all that water everytime it rains hard?
and the crack about "all this about a flag?" at Arlington National Cemetary during a ceremony? I think SHE is a disgusting waste of air. Blame this sentiment on my Stalinist background - my Alinsky learnings. I was raised in the left - I know it for what it has become - wretched, warped, dictatorial and UnDemocratic - the "left" is an uneducated mob of brownshirts now - I am off that train for good. The revolution has been stolen by profiteers and union thugs. Time to bring back American Exceptionalism and support for the US Constitution WITHOUT more amendments. Its good the way it is. PS: ever read it? I know, I am asking too much, right? I teach it - read it many many times. I like it!
O MUST GO!!
You have something there! I could be....another Biden!
:>)
And really stop and think about that, or better yet read Barry Rubin on labels: right wing, left wing, center - all meaningless. I just hope I am right, ya' know: correct and reading facts, raw data, consensus by real scholars and analyists - one with real insight and credibility - which enable me to try and make reasoned decisions and see thru EVERYONE'S smoke and mirrors. Joan, and I am assuming you are familiar with me, I am considered a left wing fanatic - so far left I've gone right. At any rate, personal and secular national liberty as well as justice are at the root of "our" cry outs. Please read the Rubin piece: http://rubinreports.blogspot.com/2012/01/are-you-left-wing-or-right-wing.html Like Rubin says: Hopefully I'm Honest and Accurate Wing. So who is throwing hate jabs? Calling out politicians - name calling trying to evoke emotions? that IS politics. Personally? I am assuming we are all very nice people who would give the shirt off our backs to someone in true need. so in that spirit: NOBAMA IN 2012!!!! WORK FOR CHANGE!!! HOPING DOES NOT GET THE JOB DONE. - Publius
Invective and radical chic sloganeering and chanting destroys credibility. Fact and reason control. Now go forth and learn - if not now, when?
feedback? opinions? anybody else got others?
ok- connection: Stone Barns would maybe run the restaurant at Ridgeway, should we go eminent domain or something like that. The only real alternative to all this nonsense.
Maybe Michelle can bring some $$$ here to save the Corridor to the Sound! What a concept!
