He didn't make it while he was in the White House, but is Barack Obama about to make his first visit to this country? A major security operation is apparently swinging into action tomorrow for a very important person, but authorities won't say who it is. Newstalk ZB's Political editor Barry Soper says he's been trying to confirm that the visitor is the former US President. However, speculation is also growing online that Obama will touch down in Otago this week. This would be Obama's first visit to New Zealand.
