Less than a week after First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia enjoyed a day-trip to Virginia, the president himself is headed to the commonwealth. President Barack Obama will hold a town hall meeting Wednesday in Bristol to discuss health care reform.

The visit comes as the president tries to gather public support to pass his proposals for health care reform, a major campaign promise.

The town hall meeting will take place on Wednesday afternoon at a Kroger supermarket in Bristol. Earlier in the day, the White House says the president will travel to Raleigh, NC for a midday town hall at a high school.

He probably already has his questions planted and the answers typed on his mobi-teleprompter. Maybe it will crash, and we'll all be spared from the lies he will tell about how great a government takeover of healthcare will be. He should go on vacation for the next 3 years, 6 months.

It will be interesting to see whether he takes actual questions from people on both sides of the issue, or only questions from people in agreement with his proposed health care reform.
