When President Barack Obama leaves Air Force One at the Dane County airport and heads across the city Wednesday, he will be the first president to visit Madison while in office in 59 years. President Harry S. Truman was the last occupant of the Oval Office to visit the city on May 14, 1950, where he gave a “peace” address to a crowd at the UW-Madison Field House and a nationwide radio audience.
