Priorities

President Obama is in Wisconsin.

Joe Doakes of Como Park is on the case.  He writes:

It just occurred to me that with the President’s trip to Manitowoc, and considering he’s already visited Madison and Milwaukee (and still has time to hit Menomonie), we could be looking at the makings of a historic event in 2012: the first-ever clean sweep of every town in Wisconsin starting with M by a Black President who went on to fail of re-election.

Wouldn’t that be GREAT?

Joe Doakes, St. Paul

Makes perfect sense to me.

  1. I still don’t see why Obama’s in Wisconsin. His policies led to the flipping of the state from total Democratic dominance to total Republican dominance in two short years. And he thinks rubbing it in will help?

  2. We’re going to Madison, and Milwaukee, and Manitwoc, and then we are going on to Menomonie YEEEEERRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

    Wisconsin has always been considered a swing state, but then narrowly goes D in the Presidential election. Perhaps this year The One knows he needs to keep those electoral votes. I think Wisc went Republican this fall is due to specific things the Democrats in the state did….the additional car insurance requirment. The new sex tutorial law. The highest deficit per capita. The school mascot law. WEAC. Madison wackos. And people just tired of the old time politicians (Change!). Things that don’t necesarily mean they will vote Republican in the Presidential race, so the state is very much in play for both parties for 2012.

    Those were the same stops made by a band called Free Hot Lunch made during their World Tour in 1987, except that Stevens Point was in there somewhere! I think that my brother in law still has the commemorative T- shirt.

  4. It still cracks me up when I think of several of their concerts where the announcement poster was tacked outside the venue they were playing that night and then hearing about all of the moochers that lined up at the venue at lunch time for the Free Hot Lunch.

    When I was in SE Asia, there was a beer from Thailand that us GIs called Bot Beer. The Thai currency was the Bot. Anyway, the alcohol content was not regulated, causing some inconsistencies. On some occasions, one could drink a six pack and have the buzz that you would get from drinking the same number of O’Douls. Then, a couple of weeks later, one might drink two and be as hammered as if you had consumed a fifth of Jose Cuervo. Ah; the days of my youth!
