Another day, another ridiculous gimmick caused by that darn recession: Seems DC’s tourism office is so desperate to cash in on the whole everything-Obama-touches-turns-to-gold factor that they’re creating an “Obama-inspired itinerary.” (This, barely two months after hotels raked in $94.8 million over inauguration.)
