President Barack Obama’s Tuesday speech will take place on Library Mall, a Democratic Party spokesperson told exclusively to The Badger Herald.
The rally is the first of several the president will hold throughout the country in the run-up to November’s midterm election. Singer-songwriter Ben Harper will perform at the event.
“We could not be more excited to have President Obama kicking off the Democratic Party’s Fall campaign push on the Library Mall at the University of Wisconsin next week,” said DNC Chair Tim Kaine in a statement. “Kicking off our Fall Moving America Forward events with a college and youth focus in Madison is a great start to the last five weeks of this critical campaign. Young people have been critical to the movement that elected President Obama in 2008 and from health reform to credit card and student loan reform young people benefited from the change President Obama and Democrats have brought to the country.”

This won’t cost the taxpayer any money whatsoever! Especially the security nightmare it will bring with it. Jesus, stay away from us. Its funny though, his visit will broaden the spread of polling numbers for important Wisconsin elections. Watch Ron Johnson lead by 20 points the day after he leaves.
