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.

Still looking for his ‘Oklahoma City moment’. Move on, Obama.
To: haffast
He must’ve found another fundraiser in the area and needed the government to pick up his travel costs.
To: haffast
Hopefully he can buy a feeling from a real human before he shows up.

Those poor people are going through enough and don’t need to be subjected to the presence of the POS.
I feel badly for them.

He is tying the Boston Bombers to the issue of immigration.
No more open door policy.
