Obama in Columbus Friday
Posted by Jonathan Riskind
June 15, 2010 10:31 AM

President Barack Obama will visit Columbus on Friday, according to a White House official.

No other details on the presidential visit were available this morning. Obama has not been in central Ohio since March 6, 2009, when he spoke to Columbus police recruits whose jobs were saved by federal stimulus money.

So Obama is going to be in town on the same day as O'Reilly and Beck?

Maybe he's their special guest!

Maybe he is getting too stressed out about the Oil Spill and all of the other chaotic stuff going on, and just wants to vacation in Columbus for a while. I don't blame him...Columbus is pretty fantabulous! :)

There is no one in this country, of any political persuasion, who wouldn't pay $122 to see that!

Okay so Barack Obama, Bill O'Reilly, and Glenn Beck are coming to town the same weekend as Comfest and Pride Week? This is going to be pure insanity.

OK wow... just got an image of O'Reilly and Beck slipping off ( hand in hand, skipping ) to pride, in drag of course, while Obama's limo gets lost, he ends up at Comfest smokin a blunt while checking out chicks with low self esteem in body paint.

UPDATE:

Obama may visit Nationwide Children's Hospital on Friday

From Here: http://blog.dispatch.com/dailybriefing/2010/06/obama_in_columbus_friday_2.shtml

Sources said Nationwide Chidlren's Hospital is the likely location for the presidential visit, though the topic may dwell on the economy as much or more than health care.

oh man... I totally didn't connect the dots on these three events, particularly Pride and Beck/O'Reilly the same weekend. That's going to be pure AWESOME. There will definitely be some good people watching!
