On his campaign trail for re-election, President Barack Obama generated a massive crowd of supporters and press on September 22 at the Henry Maier Festival Park.  Students and faculty from MATC were in attendance to rally the states motto, “FORWARD WISCONSIN”.  Among the guests to precede President Obama were: Tom Barrett, Herb Kohl and Tammy Baldwin.  In the crowd some of the Green Packers were honored guests of Tom Barrett after their win against the Chicago Bears.  Obama spoke on the high interest rates on student loans that would affect the students across the country, not just in Wisconsin. President Obama stated, “Don’t boo my opponent, get out and vote!”  Until November 6, Wisconsinites who were in attendance got the opportunity to be in the presence of the 44th President of the United States of America. Best of luck to both candidates.
