MADISON - Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he did not discuss the possibility of running for governor with President Barack Obama when the two spoke Wednesday.

Barrett greeted President Obama when he arrived in Wisconsin at the Dane County Regional Airport. Barrett spoke with the President briefly.

"No, we didn't talk about the governor's race at all," Barrett said. "We talked about education and that's what this was about. That was today's day was about education and frankly that's what it should have been about was education."
 
Barrett did say he will make a decision about whether to run for governor soon.
 
Also, insiders say Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk is considering running for either Governor or Lieutenant Governor. She attended President Obama's speech and sat near Barrett. However, she is not talking about either race and deflected the attention back to Barrett. "I think we're all just waiting for Tom to decide. I'm a good friend of his and I hope he runs," she said.
