President to attend Laborfest in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE- On Monday, President Barack Obama will attend Laborfest in Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee Area Labor Council said he will deliver remarks at the celebration.

The event begins at 11:00 a.m. with a parade from Zeidler Union Square Park to the Summerfest Grounds via Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee St. and Chicago St.  

According to the group, Laborfest celebrates the achievements of Wisconsin’s working men and women and unions.

Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke will not appear publicly with the President, but will meet with him privately at Laborfest.

“It’s clear Mary Burke is attempting to distance herself from an unpopular president who’s lost the public’s trust on everything from the economy to foreign affairs,” Scott Walker's Press Secretary Alleigh Marre said.

Bob Spindell, Republican Party of Wisconsin 4th Congressional District Chairman, echoed those same comments.

Burke didn't meet with the President during his last visit to Wisconsin in January either.

The Labor Council is hoping to hear the President address organized labor and collective bargaining.

The details of the President's visit have not been released.

President Obama attended Laborfest four years ago.

Let me guess some of the phrases that might be in the speech:

“Workers of the World unite”

“We are here to fundamentally change Amerika into a Workers Paradise”

“The Global Warming scam...er...hoax....really, truly, REAL...um..scam....Science! Yeah Science is real Science and that other stuff about it being a tool of Socialism is something that the mean deniers like to say.”

“Seig Heil!”

“And as another of my Government Supremacist heroes once said is truer today that when he first spoke it:

‘The goal of socialism is communism.’

Will you put your hands together for the memory of Vladimir Lenin!”

Ah yes. The Labor Day Weekend celebrations and fund raisers for the unions and their politicians. During the twelve years I was a union member, I attended only one union meeting, however I did go to several Labor Day beer busts. Free beer!

Uh, didn’t it used to be called Summerfest? Now it’s laborfest? Bunch of ladies who couldn’t get the lyin’king to pay for their abortions gonna be there or something? I’m confused. Will the Milwaukee County sheriff be there or is he persona non grata around the lyin’ king.

Hey, communists and Milwaukee Marxists like to party too.

Obama will ask for a Milwaukee Brewski, just to show that he speaks Russian.
