(Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands) Democratic
presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is spending some down time in the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
The Obama family was greeted at the airport by
Gov. John deJongh and his family before beginning a few days of vacation in the
U.S. territory, government spokesman Jean Greaux said.
"The general feeling is we're quite
fortunate that Senator Obama views the territory as a place where he can take in
some rest and relaxation," Greaux said.
Obama was keeping such a low profile that his
presidential campaign would not say where he is staying. Local officials also
were mum.
An official at Government House in the capital,
Charlotte Amalie, would only confirm that Obama was in St. Thomas, the most
populated of the islands. Tourists said they saw him relaxing on the beach
Sunday at a resort hotel there.
On Monday, the hotel's general manager escorted a
photojournalist from the premises, saying he wanted to make sure his guests
could relax.
The Illinois senator - who was born and raised on
another island, Hawaii - is popular in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Last month, the territory gave him three
delegates in the race for the Democratic nomination. Rival Hillary Rodham
Clinton did not win a delegate at the caucuses. Six superdelegates will go to
the August national convention; four back Clinton and two favor Obama.
