Obama's visit to Green Bay will be at high school
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Barack Obama's visit to Green Bay on Thursday will be a town hall meeting at Southwest High School.
The White House released some details for the midday event but not the topic.
Wisconsin Democrats, however, say they expect Obama will focus on the need for an overhaul of the health care system to hold down costs and cover the uninsured.
State Democratic Party Chairman Joe Wineke says Green Bay is a natural place for Obama to discuss health care. He says the local congressman, Democrat Steve Kagen, is a doctor who has made health care reform a central part of his agenda.
The public can register for a chance to win tickets to the event through the White House.

WOW! When the Republicans crashed and burned a while back, many of these bozos fell off the nut truck. This guy is so far right he's fallen off the planet as well!
Some of these angry nut jobs are indeed a threat to the President. We just had one arrested in our town today who took 80K out of his bank account from a neighboring town and told the teller he would be traveling "to kill Obama."
Keep your ears open. Any threat to the life of the President is a felony. Call the police and have these animals caged!

Stay off the roads and byways this week as the Obama train is coming to Greenbay!! he will have all his faithful followers with him to make him look so appealing to the people of Greenbay! He will have all his adoring fans fawning all over him and their ears will only hear what he wants them to hear! I just hope there will be a few in the crowd of journalists and news people who will be brave and question him about what an even bigger mess he's made of this country than the previous administration did! But then we'll never hear about it because he will have them removed! Think he'll bring his birth certificate and finally try to prove he's really an american citizen?? Don't count on it!!

that's interesting considering that the auditorium and cafeteria are both pretty small. (i graduated from there)
