President Obama reelection message hits Florida

President Barack Obama took his “ready to go forward” message to Florida voters in his first stop Saturday on a bus tour through the swing state.

The president was introduced by former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who was once a Republican but is now an independent and an Obama supporter. Obama said Crist's backing proves “the values we are fighting for aren’t just Democratic values or Republican values, they’re American values.”

“We can gut education like these other folks were recommending,” Obama told a crowd of roughly 11,000 at St. Petersburg College. “Or we can decide that in the United States of America, no child should have her dreams differed … higher education is not a luxury anymore, it is an economic necessity that everybody should be able to afford.”
