President Obama will bring his campaign to overhaul the nation's health care system to the Twin Cities this weekend.

The White House has not announced his visit to Minnesota on Saturday, but an official with knowledge of the appearance confirmed it this morning.

Although a location for the speech also has not been announced, it would most likely be held at either the Target Center in Minneapolis or the Xcel Center in St. Paul.

Why Minnesota? He’s got the Dim Senators from Minny in the bag. Rep Bachmann won’t vote for it, but neither will any other ‘Pub rep in any state. He needs to pressure Blue Dogs in red states, not go to Lib Central. Another dumb move by the boy genius...

Twice yesterday Gibbs say he would be in DC over the weekend.

Apparently they decided at the last minute to run away from the hordes decending on the town. Fraidy cat.

Any state that sends Franken and Wellstone to the Senate and Ventura to the Governor’s Mansion should be easy pickings for the Snake Oil Salesman.

Stumping in a blue state that has two Dem senators. In a media market that reaches deep into a neighboring blue state with two Dem senators. I wonder if they have some internal polling data that shows Obama’s support going pear-shaped in the Upper Midwest?

We had no choice here in Minnesota. Coleman was a RINO and deserved to go. However only with the help of ACORN did it happen.

Rats!! I’ll be out of town this weekend.....Oh, well....Maybe the local media will record it and play it over and over enough times so that everyone will get a chance to enjoy his skills with a teleprompter.

Why Minnesota?

Because I will bet that the socialist-fascist-commie pig 0bozo will take a quick detour to Rochester, MN to visit the Mayo Clinic and chances are the MC will roll out the red carpet treatment for the usurper and he will claim that the MC is supporting his socialist health care crap 100%. I know the nurses & para medical staff is libtard Tim Waltz-Dd 1-MN strongest base of support. Is it ever possible to cure liberals from their deranged mentality & self-destructive liberal ideology?

WHY SHOULD THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO PAY FOR HIS CONTINUAL CAMPAIGN-STYLE PHOTO OP STOPS ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN AND AROUND THE GLOBE, AT HIS MANAGEMENT’S WHIM?

Not to mention the entourage, family and attendant ‘educational, cultural and recreational’ sidetrips.

The school speech had to be in Utah. Back for a speech to Congress (how many times did Bush or Clinton play this card? (Admittedly GWB should have made better use of the bully pulpit and a multitude of other things.) Now
off to another speech in Minneapolis. When is the man ever in DC for more than 48 hours?

It would be interesting to compare the travel expenses of GWB and Dear Leader during their respective first six months of office, and number of times on prime time TV.

Yes, I had seen those postings before. However they are from July 2009 timeframe. Does Mayo or its senior executives still oppose the health care un-reform debacle?

I know that libturd Sen Amy Klobuchar and dimwit Tim Waltz-D 1-MN were schmoozing & pandering to the Mayo Clinic execs and hosting at least some conf calls with them. Even my cardiologist physician assistant at Mayo Clinic was/is an avid 0bozo supporter. My mouth dropped open when he told me this at my last heart appointment in May. I responded that 0bozo would destroy our country & our health care system if he succeeded. My PA just stayed silent, but it was obvious he was a supporter of 0bozo. Shoot, maybe I'm going to have to ask for a different PA now.
