President Obama will travel to Indiana and Florida next week to push his nearly $900 billion economic recovery plan that has hit a wall of opposition in the Senate.

Obama will hold town-hall style meetings in Elkhart, Ind., on Monday and Fort Meyers, Fla., on Tuesday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. Obama's also holding his first prime-time news conference Monday night.

The trip to Fort Myers has more to do with the 2010 campaign. With Sen. Martinez announcing that he isn't going to run the front runner for his seat is Connie Mack IV. Most of the votes in that district, CD 14 come from Fort Myers.

The Dems want that seat.

that district also voted R by a margin of 57% last go round. Hell, Porter Goss could go back and run for it, he used to hold the office.

That is exactly what I thought when I heard where he was going. This is about making sure he gets those seats he needs. Never have I heard of a president having to "go on the road" to talk people into things that he wants to do. He is reverting back to what he saw work when he campaigned. People don't want that. They want him in the effin' office doing his effin' job. Not out on date night and jet setting around the country on the weekend. Good Gads....this IS a Hollywood president. ::)
