WASHINGTON -- President Obama will visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School in the Lower 9th Ward and then hold a town hall meeting at the University of New Orleans Lakefront Campus on Thursday, the White House announced Sunday evening. With the announcement, the contours of the president's first visit to New Orleans since taking office appear complete. Local officials, including Sens.
