FYI : President Obama will deliver Earth Day remarks on energy at 3:15 pm ET in Newton, Iowa.

Just wanted to give green Obama supporters a heads-up so y'all don't miss anything. :)

Per the White House, Obama will tour and meet with workers at Trinity Structural Towers, a former Maytag plant that now houses a green manufacturing facility producing towers for wind energy production in Newton, IA. After the tour, Obama will deliver remarks on energy at 3:15 pm ET. All of this is yet another way Obama is trying to tie energy to the economy.

A Newton history buff said Obama’s trip to Newton is the first by a sitting president since President Harry Truman came through town on a whistle stop tour more than 50 years ago.

“The people want the president at their establishment. Before he was president, when he was Senator Obama, he came and he ate at our Maid-Rite,” Allen said. “I remember when he was campaigning, I got to meet him and we sat behind Berg Middle School. A senator from the United States, which was fun. We talked about our kids. Didn’t talk about politics. His kids and my kids are the same age. It will be good to see him again.”

The Iowa Legislature won’t be shut down that day during President Obama’s visit, but “it might shut us down for a couple of hours,” said Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs.
