Speaking of the Fontainebleau brand....

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama recently spent a night at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach which we had no idea was even open!

Currently the hotel is still under-going it's billion-dollar makeover and will officially debut in September, to be followed shortly thereafter by the sexy ladies of Victoria's Secret.

Yet even though the hotel's reps are saying the opening is not until the fall, guests can actually book rooms in the Tower Suites and the Serranto Tower with rates starting at $212 a night.

We're guessing Obama ponied up the $853 nightly rate for a 2BR suite with an ocean view. Or at least his campaign did.

As for the cute kid, he's being referred to as one of "America's young future leaders." Is that a boatload of pressure or what?
