Obama: Milwaukee, February 15

For some reason, Obama will be in Milwaukee next Wednesday.

From WISN TV:

12 News reporter Kent Wainscott learned that Obama will visit Milwaukee on Feb. 15.

The White House has confirmed the visit, but is not releasing any further details on the visit at this time.

WISN 12 News was told the visit is an official one and not a campaign stop.

Not a campaign stop.

YEAH, RIGHT!

Of course, it's a campaign stop.

I doubt that Obama is coming to Milwaukee to point out that the city has its lowest level of black male employment ever recorded.

What sort of official presidential business does Obama have in Milwaukee? What's the environmental footprint of this romp? Not very green.

This is just more campaigning on the taxpayers' dime.

The Associated Press tries to connect Obama's visit with Scott Walker.

Obama was last in Wisconsin on Jan. 26, 2011, when he came to Manitowoc the day after his State of the Union address.

Just over two weeks later, Gov. Scott Walker unveiled his collective bargaining plan that set off massive protests and led to the ongoing effort to recall him from office.

Walker's spokesman did not know if the governor planned on greeting Obama on this trip like he did last time.

Is Obama coming to Milwaukee to campaign against Walker?

Good grief.

On TMJ4's 10:00 PM newscast, anchor Mike Jacobs actually said that Obama's trip coincides with the anniversary of the Capitol Chaos.

The Leftist media certainly appear to want to frame Obama's visit as political.

Besides, I don't know if Obama has any "official" business anymore.
