President Barack Obama will return to his home state March 15 to visit Argonne National Laboratory and discuss his energy policies, the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune are reporting.
An official told the Tribune that the trip is intended to “focus on American energy,” and may or may not also include comments on the impact on facilities like Argonne of funding cuts caused by the current sequester.
The Sun-Times notes that this is the President’s first trip to the Chicago area since speaking at Hyde Park Academy on Feb. 15; the First Lady visited McCormick Place on Feb. 28 to promote her physical-fitness campaign “Let’s Move.”

Maybe his wife Chewbacca will go to Joe's Stone Crab and gorge herself on her favorite food -shrimp-at the taxpayer's expense while brO will stop by his favorite Chicago bathhouse-Man's Country-with his "buddy" Reggie Love to see another famous patron Mayor Rahm.
