What do the Fort Myers area and President Obama have in common?

Tomorrow President Obama will visit Fort Myers for a townhall meeting. Here he will discuss the economy and our economic outlook. Both President Obama and this area have a long road to recovery ahead.

He is scheduled to visit Lehigh Acres and look at the foreclosure problem faced in this area. The media will no doubt talk about how bleak things look and no doubt they appear that way. However there is another view point.

Many people in this country and others would love the opportunity that is presenting itself if they only knew about it. When in the last 30 years can you remember a time when you could buy a newer home, close to the beach, where the sun shines on average 340 days a year. Where the temperature averages in the 70s and 80s and boats are almost as common as cars.

I think the media will focus more on the negative rather than the positive. So if you or anyone you know has ever thought about walking in the sand on a warm winter evening or playing some of the top golf courses in the country then tell them now is the time.
