Senators ask him to review wildfire devastation.

Obama will be in Austin on Tuesday evening.

He first visits El Paso to give a speech on immigration. He will head to Austin to attend a fundraiser for his 2012 presidential campaign.

The private event will be at the ACL LIVE! at the Moody Theater , housed in the W Hotel at 310 W. Willie Nelson Blvd.

That’s the last thing we would want, for him to be ‘martyred’, then his face will wind up on Mount Rushmore for sure.

"...Austin is Havana surrounded by America...."

You are oh, so right.

Like the man said, "The best thing about Austin is its proximity to Texas."

And, "The only good thing to come out of Austin is I-35."

Not to ‘martyred’ only the *fear factor* of what the world is really like,he must come out of his progressive coma he’s killing to many people,jobs,economy.
The *fear factor* is when he arrives nobody moves smiles talks just the look that puts fear into a hack.
