Obama Will Head to Florida in Six-State Campaign Blitz

President Barack Obama is expected to fly into Tampa next week during a two-day campaign blitz across six key states.

Florida is one of a half-dozen battleground states that President Barack Obama will visit in a 48-hour campaign push next week, according to the president's campaign office.

Details have not been released on where Obama will speak in Florida, though Reuters is reporting that he will be arriving at the Tampa International Airport aboard the presidential jet.

His six-state campaign swing is expected to start Wednesday in Iowa, then move to Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio.

With two weeks to go before the Nov. 6 election, polls show Obama is essentiall tied with GOP Gov. Mitt Romney, Reuters reports.

I wish he would stay in DC and try to act like a president, not a rock star

So being on a campaign trail means your a rockstar? I guess Mitt is a rockstar as well? What you apparently do not realize is A) all Presidents hit the campaign trail close to elections. This has been occurring since the beginning. And B) the Presidential plane is a fully functioning mini White House. If you think he can only conduct business sitting in the Oval Office, you are very misguided.
And he DOES act like a president.
