What happens after President Barack Obama visits your town to promote his stimulus package?

People in Elkhart, Indiana say their businesses aren’t out — they’re just down — and hope some of the stimulus money President Obama wants is sent their way.  Despite being held up as an example of the American economy gone wrong when it comes to employment, Elkhart’s promoters say there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

Shore Magazine’s election wrap-up email arrived in my inbox with an interesting tid-bit of information that bodes well for Lake Michigan communities in Southwest Michigan and possibly Northwest Indiana, if the presidential power-brokers discover Beverly Shores.

Democrats have been weekending and vacationing in second homes—usually known as cottages—along Red Arrow Highway for generations. … We (blue Southwestern Michigan) have been promoted to Kennebunkport.

The magazine’s email even notes that there is a rumor that Barack and Michelle Obama spent some time on Lake Michigan’s shore this summer.
