Obama coming to Milwaukee for Laborfest By Bill Glauber of the Journal Sentinel Aug. 27, 2014

A spokeswoman for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said Wednesday that President Barack Obama will be in Milwaukee on Labor Day.

No further details were available for Monday's visit, but multiple media sources said that Obama will be attending Laborfest at Maier Festival Park. A White House official later confirmed the president would visit the city for an event Monday.

Obama was a frequent visitor to Milwaukee and Madison during the 2012 campaign, and was here in 2010 for Laborfest, speaking to a crowd of 7,000. He also attended the event in 2008 during his first campaign for president.

They are going after Walker big time.

It is no coincidence that this article in Saloon was posted right after this one.

This is payback for previous Labor support as I’m betting they need him to come to get any decent amount of numbers down there for the day. WI Labor is out of money and the little they collected this year is going all in on one bet against walker.

Obama needed to find someplace he could be loved and unfortunately for us its Milwaukee Labor.

Mary Burke will be there, and so will Tammy Baldwin.

Great, all the unemployed and under-employed folks can meet The Great O. I heard Mary Burke is slinking in through a side door with a Burqa on and no press access.
