President Obama is coming back to Milwaukee next Monday, Sept.6 for a Labor Day speech, his third visit to southeast Wisconsin in a little over two months.

According to a White House official, the president will talk about the economy at Laborfest, the festival organized by the Milwaukee Area Labor Council. The same event drew Democratic President Bill Clinton during his 1996 re-election campaign.

Wisconsin is a vital state for Democrats and for Obama in a perilous mid-term election cycle. The party is defending the governor's office, Russ Feingold's US Senate seat, both chambers of the state legislature and at least two US House seats against competitive Republican campaigns.

The White House released no other details Monday of the president's trip

He was here a couple weeks ago and the Dem candidate for Governor, Mayor Barrett would not even appear in public with ol Barry for fear of having his picture taken with him. They did do a private fundraising lunch where they took in $350k, but no pics were allowed of the event by media.

After his last appearance, Republican candidate for Governor, Scott Walker released a hilarious ad jusxtaposing Barry and himself arguing about the BS high speed train between Milwaukee and Madison. If elected, Walker has vowed to kill the train no matter how much Barry and his Transportation Sec LaHood have spent before inauguration day.

Here is a link to video, pretty funny slapdown of Barry.....

Another vacation squeezed in?

I’m happy to see Obama campaigning. Hopefully it will tip the scales to oust the Demoncrat.

What an embarassment:

[Seaplaner]

"Labor Day Event" (from the same, and alleged, president who IIRC snubbed Vets on Memorial Day.)

This (again alleged) administration becomes more transparent every day, n'est ce pas?

Gotta love Scott Walker!

Boy, Rusty the Red and Milwaukee's Potted Plant (oh, excuse me!--Mayor) must not be doing very well in polling. I hope that Scott's influence in the Milwaukee area will have a coattail effect for Ron Johnson. It's mainly Milwaukee and Madison that keep us in liberal hell.

Would be nice if he actually labored.

Aww jeez...we are plagued with that jackass again????
I work on Monday (yes I’m one of those Ozero hasn’t managed to put out of work yet) at the MKE airport. If you hear of someone being hauled off for giving Hussein a one fingered salute from the tarmac, well that would be me.

[Merlinator]

Shouldn’t he have some training wheels on that bike?

Milwaukee is an industrial graveyard due to its labor unions.
