Obama to Come to Michigan



LANSING, Mich. (AP) - President Barack Obama will hold a town hall meeting in the Detroit area on July 14.

The White House released the information Tuesday. No additional details were given.

The Obama administration has sent a host of Cabinet officials to Michigan to announce recovery act dollars for the state and offer help to workers and communities suffering as General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have gone through bankruptcy.

But Obama has not visited the state since he held campaign rallies in Grand Rapids and East Lansing last October. It will be his first Michigan stop as president.

Obama held a town hall meeting in New Mexico last month to talk about legislation ending abusive credit card practices and visited Missouri in April.
