I can’t figure out a better reason for his reason for this speech, unless it is to try to deflect attention from the Russia/Ukraine situation and his abysmal handling of it.

Best case scenario, limited national coverage and extensive local coverage for a day or two. He seems to be grasping at straws now, hoping something will stack and save him and the dems.

The MSM will spin that as “Obama fills Stadium in Minimum wage speech.” The will ignore the fact that is is half of a 2,654 seat stadium, on a college campus...

I guess these idiot college students think they will be stuck in minimum wage jobs forever.

Thanks for the info! Perhaps, as you said, he and Duval are having a get together.

One other thought I had, maybe he chose this site because it’s small and liberal and he knew he could fill up the area in which he’s speaking (without having to have his peeps beg people to come (e.g., reduce ticket prices, which isn’t an issue here), like he did during the Prez campaign).

Are you kidding? Connecticut doesn’t seem big enough to need east, west, north, south and central universities.
