Video: Great Lakes Water & Obama Welcome Rally

Citizen journalist Richard Sloat sent us this footage from a “Great Lakes Water & Welcome Rally” for President Obama.  Following a lunch stop at Donckers Candy Store, in downtown Marquette, Obama rode along the Lake Superior lakeshore and was able to view the rally.  According to one member of the White House press corps, one of the signs visible said, “Great Lakes.  Clean Water.  National Treasure.”
