LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA – While President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney had been invited to participate in the Presidential Forum to be held Oct. 9 at Lincoln University of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of our partners had unofficially and prematurely released the press announcement.

Since then, we have been informed that President Obama and Governor Romney are unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.  No more information is available at this time.
