President Obama to visit central Illinois on Wednesday
By WEEK Reporter July 18, 2013
GALESBURG, Ill. -- President Obama will make a stop in Galesburg next Wednesday.
A White House officials says the visit is part of a 3-day bus trip and that the President will talk about the economy.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
The President will talk about...the President.
Really fixed it.
With Obama, the night has a thousand “I’s”.
Couldn’t we put one of those impenetrable domes over DC, like on the Stephen King adapted book on TV?
I have to ask; why doesn’t he talk about all of the young black children being murdered by other young black children in Chicago.
Galesburg ‘s economy tanked in the 80s and never quite recovered. They got the railroad and the prison. All of those factories are gone. It was a nice place to grow up though, when the jobs were there.

Obama to Begin New Series of Economic Addresses

Drawing renewed attention to the economy, President Barack Obama will return this week to an Illinois college where he once spelled out a vision for an expanded and strengthened middle class as a freshman U.S. senator, long before the Great Recession would test his presidency.
The address Wednesday at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., will be the first in a new series of economic speeches that White House aides say Obama intends to deliver over the next several weeks ahead of key budget deadlines in the fall. A new fiscal year begins in October, and the government will soon hit its borrowing limit.
The speech comes just a week before Congress is scheduled to leave for its monthlong August recess and is designed to build public pressure on lawmakers in hopes of averting the showdowns over taxes and spending that have characterized past budget debates.
In his economic pitch, Obama will talk about efforts to expand manufacturing, sign up the uninsured for health care coverage, revitalize the housing industry and broaden educational opportunities for preschoolers and college students. He will also promote the economic benefits of an immigration overhaul.
The White House is promoting the speech as
