Clarification

The Leader of the Free World is coming to town and he'll be shutting down major roads and parks while he's here, because, well, he's the Leader of the Free World. I do want to correct one item on his agenda, though, as explained by John Croman of KARE:

President Obama will hold a Town Hall Meeting outdoors at Minnehaha Park, home of Minnehaha Falls, on Thursday. It's open to invited guests and news media only.

Uh, John? A town hall meeting isn't an invitation only event, unless your town is a Potemkin village. Of course, when it comes to politics our town(s) fit that description quite nicely.
