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.

This was supposed to be a solemn Memorial Service for six dead Americans - and the Dims are turning it into a High-School Pep Rally....

They’re gonna ‘Wellstone’ this thing.....

It’s good that they’re together. Now Brewer can ask them when they’re going to secure the border.

Sounds like a liberal solution to a non-existent problem.

A better theme would be, Together We Do Something About Dangerous Psychopaths.

Can’t the event organizer combine “Remarks by Zero” with “Moment of Silence?”
