WACO, Texas—President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will attend a memorial service Thursday for victims of last Wednesday’s deadly fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas.

The service is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. CT at Baylor University in Waco. A city official in West said the president is also expected to visit the site of the blast.

The Obamas were already scheduled to be in Dallas for the opening of former President George W. Bush’s presidential library Thursday morning. White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday the first couple will fly to West after the library opening to meet with victims of last week’s explosion, which killed 14 people and injured more than 200.

That’s his money for coming to Texas while he “visits” the GW Bush library opening.

The explosion was elsewhere which affords him another opportunity to pick up money from Texas trial lawyer Democrats (the top donors in the state, hands down).

He doesn’t give a rip.

I just heard on the radio that fema will not be helping out West because it didn’t quality as a big enough disaster for them.

Just another poke in our eyes.
