President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will be in Tucson Wednesday to attend the "Together We Thrive: Tucson and America" event at the McKale Memorial Center on the University of Arizona campus. The event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. MST (8 p.m. EST) with doors opening at 4 p.m. MST (6 p.m. EST).
According to a university news release, organizers are expecting thousands of people to attend. If the 14,000-seat arena reaches capacity, overflow seating will be available at the university's football stadium. Video of the memorial will be shown on the scoreboard's big screen.

ONZ, I’m glad I’d put my glass down ... you really are funny.
Poor Governor Brewer looks her age. I’m sure this is very difficult for her in many ways.

“Together We Thrive”?
Obama should shoot his speechwriter.
(I am speaking metaphorically here, of course.)

As far as I know some are just being put on chairs. Maybe others are being sold. Either way, over-the-top inappropriate.
I concur. But those T-shirts didn't make themselves. Where'd the $$$ come from to manufacture them, and who made profit from it? That'll be the question.

I truly hope Brewer leaves, saying something like, The selling of T-shirts at a memorial is in very bad taste, and Ill have no part of it, and invites all of the victims friends and families to the governors mansio That would be a stroke of genius.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This is likely paid for by the Obama campaign and the DNC.

Poor Governor Brewer looks her age. Im sure this is very difficult for her in many ways.She is friends with the Congresswoman. It has to be very hard to put up with this crass display which is nothing more than a campaign rally for Obama masking as an event to uplift the country.

“The president will devote a significant portion of his remarks to the memory of the victims,” Gibbs said. “He’ll also reflect on how all of us might best honor their memory in our own lives.”

God bless their beautiful souls. May they all rest in peace. They were true patriots, experiencing together a fine moment of First Amendment-guaranteed speech and assembly.
It is outrageous and sacrilegious that Obama would besmirch their memory tonight by holding a political rally on bloodsoaked ground.
