Obama Visits Georgia, General Public Not Invited


The TOTUS is visiting Georgia today, Savannah specifically, to come talk about jobs and the economy. Right now the Georgia unemployment rate is above the national average and we are deluged with the daily numbers of layoffs and foreclosures. We are in the top 10 there also, but strangely just in the Democrat areas, and in an effort to keep it real the general public is not allowed to visit Barry O.

Go figure.
Savannah is preparing to welcome President Barack Obama Tuesday.

But he won't be meeting with the general public

The President is scheduled to speak at Savannah Technical College.

He's expected to highlight programs to boost the economy and create jobs.

But the event is invitation-only and it's very unclear who's being invited.
No doubt he will also come with a check in hand, just like Joe Biden did when he decided to visit one of the most connected communities in the state, where the average resident earns well above the state average, and handed out a check touting a program to increase broadband access. He visited Dawsonville, which is home to NASCAR legend Bill Elliott, and while they may be a bunch of gearheads, the Elliott family has created more jobs in this northern Georgia city and area than Barry O and all of his Democrat allies could ever dream of.

While Barry is here he will visit a technical college and the venue holds about 250 people, which is by invite only.

Recently, the Obama spoke of increasing funding for nuclear power plants, and there is one in the area, and as a result we have been bombarded with commercials from environmental groups warning us that we are going to wind up glowing in the dark and how the apocalypse is just around the corner. Some of those folks are upset that they won't be able to get into the meeting.

Oh and that school he is visiting. It is being tossed around in discussions regarding budget cuts in the University System of Georgia for closure. You see states have to live on a budget unlike the federal government.
