Is Obama's Asheville vacation his 'Victory Vacation'?

President Obama's family vacation in Asheville is quite fitting and historians may consider it to be his "Victory Vacation" given that during his presidential campaign, then-candidate Barack Obama made his first major health care speech on Oct. 5, 2008, at Asheville High School. During that rally, Obama was introduced by local Mission Hospitals cardiovascular nurse Elizabeth Allen, R.N., after she delivered a moving speech about the need for health care reform. This vacation is his first since the health care reform bill was passed.
