Press release from Tulsa Democratic Party

Welcoming the President

Democrats,

As I am sure that you all can guess, we are thrilled to have our President in the State of Oklahoma this week. Our phones have been ringing off the hook with questions from great supporters. We can confirm that he will be in Cushing on Thursday. Unfortunately, he is traveling on official White House business and will not be able to make any campaign stops or give public speeches. That doesn't mean we shouldn't give him a warm welcome by getting to work to get him re-elected!

If anything changes, we will be sure to let you know. Please see the statement from the White House below.

You can however help us welcome the President by helping with the campaign effort by making a contribution HERE: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/2012/Tulsans4Obama

From the White House:
President Obama to Travel to Oklahoma

WASHINGTON, DC - On Wednesday, the President will travel to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. On Thursday, he will visit the Cushing, Oklahoma area to discuss his Administration's commitment to improving and supporting the infrastructure that helps us leverage our domestic resources, while also ensuring these projects are developed in a safe and responsible way. This includes a pipeline that will transport oil from Cushing to the Gulf of Mexico, which will help address the bottleneck of oil that has resulted in large part from increased domestic oil production in the Midwest. The President will deliver remarks at a storage yard holding pipes that will be used for the construction of the pipeline. The President's remarks are open to pre-credentialed members of the press but closed to the public.

1. I hope Cushing will greet him warmly.

It's hard to tell how people in a small Oklahoma town will react. I wish he was making a public appearance in OKC.
