On the way to Osawatomie -- President Obama is following in some famous footsteps as he heads for Kansas tomorrow...

The President plans a major address on the future of America's beleaguered middle class when he appears at Osawatomie High School tomorrow. It's the same city in which President Theodore Roosevelt one hundred years ago called for a New Nationalism, where everyone gets a fair chance, a square deal and an equal opportunity to succeed. Just how many Kansans will actually get to see the President in person is another matter this time: apart from credentialed news media, only locals with advance free tickets will get in. Those tickets became available yesterday at Osawatomie High School.
