Is He Coming to Smokies Or Not?

Earlier today we reported that the President would not be attending the rededication ceremonies in September for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our story was based on information given to us by a Park official.

Right after our report this:

"A few minutes ago a local media outlet released information from me that stated that the White House had designated Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to respresent President Obama at the Sept 2 Park Rededication. That was an inaccuracy on my part. While we have received word that the Secreatry will attend, the Park has not received any direct communication from either the White House or The Department of Interior regarding the President's attendance."

So, what do you think? Will President Obama attend the ceremonies in September? My money says he won't.
