Obama To Appear Deep In Red Territory

Somebody must have tattled on Janet Rowland (or beet-red Mesa County in general)  to flag@whitehouse.gov, as the Grand Junction Sentinel reports:

Health care reform has been a priority of President Obama during his first year in office and a hot topic in recent weeks in Congress.

Whether it will be a topic of conversation at his planned town hall meeting Aug. 15 in Grand Junction has not been revealed.

The Denver Post adds that Obama will visit Grand Junction as part of a swing through the Mountain time zone–but not including Denver, this time the big city he’ll visit is Phoenix.

Whatever he winds up talking about in the staunchly Republican bastion of Grand Junction–and we expect it will be health care–you’ve got to give the President credit for taking his message to the reddest of the red, especially right now.

And who knows? With the “Obamination” himself daring to set foot in Junction, you might finally get to see Josh “Tea Party” Penry, Glenn Beck, “Swastika Guy,” and “Health Care Holocaust Guy” all on one protest stage. With Michelle Malkin roasting the pig and Tom Tancredo going off reservation–a family reunion with your most embarrassing relatives that attracts cable news trucks. A decisive chance to show their ‘912’ strength? The ‘Waterloo of Crazy?’ We’ll see next Saturday.

Disclaimer: to be clear, there are limits to how much crazy we think is necessary to accomplish the goal of discrediting one’s self, for example we really do hope this guy stays home.
