If You Could, What Would You Ask Obama in Missouri?
Spending on infrastructure and the benefits of an immigration policy overhaul may be on the president's mind. What would you ask?
President Barack Obama is coming to Missouri next week, albeit nowhere near the St. Louis area. In fact, he hasn't been to the St. Louis area since 2011, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Instead, the president will visit Warrensburg on the western side of the state, not too far from Kansas City. The presidential visit is set for Wednesday. The Post says the White House hasn't released details of what the visit is about.
KY3 TV in Springfield, MO, citing an Associated Press report, notes that the presidential visit involves Obama making a case for spending on infrastructure and for universal pre-school programs, as well as highlighting the "economic benefits of overhauling immigration laws."
The commander in chief will also stop in Galesburg, IL, the same day.
So, I doubt any of you are planning to trek across Missouri on Wednesday, and even if you were, you probably wouldn't have the ear of the president. But if you did, what would you ask him?
