You'd think there would be spending cuts caused by the sequester that would not make funding this trip possible!

Don't you know that he and all of his minions are exempt from the spending cuts,
only the people that really work get hurt, as usual.

"VISIT"......What a shame !!!!!!!!!!!

It's only a small reduction of the "increase" in the budget, not from the actual amount that will be spent. The government is still spending 15 billion dollars more than last year (money we do not have). Obama has a life long history of using everything for political gain; this is no different, spin, spin, spin.

Public welcomed?

And the brain dead fools would vote for the dicktraitor again if they could !!!!
Their not going to bite the hand,"tax payers money" that feeds and houses them!!!
They worship at his feet.

Does this president ever stop his campaigning? He attempts to pit one group of American's against another for his own political gain or manuevering.

And what a laugh, "energy policy", I ask, what energy policy? Unless kissing the Muslim world's rear and putting America's future in jeapardy is an authentic energy policy? And lets not forget all the failed attempts at green industry start-ups.
The only American that has gained from our recent energy policy is fat Albert Gore-
he is laughing himself silly all the way to the bank.

I agree Elm

There is value in meeting with the people that are researching and developing our energy technology of the present and future. Energy is pretty much #1 to the world. It affects all else, but especially the economy. Speaking there further accentuates the importance of the issue.

The fact that he does not have to campaign any more should show that this is not some PR stunt. I understand that those that dislike him or his politics find it hard to see the good in anything that he does. However, he has always stated how we cannot drill ourselves to energy independence and that more funding for places like Argonne are needed. This funding is good for our area and the world. We gotta stand together and judge each action on its merits. We are weak as many but strong as one.

The man campaigns daily. Even if he never runs for office again, that has no bearing on his insistence to gain popular support. That's only part of how his agenda works. He isn't concerned with compromise or ever working with the other side, it's about pushing his agenda and that means he needs to daily convince the public he is doing what is in their best interest even though it's just in the best interest of his agenda not necessarily the citizens. He is a brilliant man but not a brilliant President. A utopian view of BO is just that, a mirage.

Get over it. You folks lost the election.

You lost too but it hasn't caught up with you yet. When it does, don't come crying to the rest of us!

Economy on the upswing, job creation, housing market improving, and the stock market has seen record gains over the past several days. Oh, I forgot for a minute, those types of stats are only a reflection on the office of the president if they are negative numbers. How silly of me.

I think any innovation and alternative to big oil is a step in the right direction. I fully support this president. At least he is trying for find a solution.

Lets hope he does not go fill up his limo at the Speedway on lemont rd., he will be surprised at the cost

This _)(*&^%$#@!~ guy has destroyed the value of our dollar and will continue on his socialist path for another 3 years. Soon we will dealing in YEN.
His goal, spread / share the working man's wealth. He knows he has the brain washed Media and Holywood liberals In his hip pocket . His thought process is to devide and conquer the classes.
Take from the producers an give to the parasites to keep their votes coming !!!!
