Obama To Officially Hit The Trail May 5
Republicans insist President Obama has been on the campaign trail for months already, but the Obama campaign told reporters Wednesday evening Obamas campaign travel doesnt kick off until May 5.
Thats when the president and First Lady Michelle Obama travel to Ohio State University and Virginia Commonwealth University for what his campaign officials said were the first official stops of the campaign.
We think its a pretty special thing that the president and the first lady will be together, said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina. We dont expect to see any celebrities.
Obamas campaign has made plenty of use of celebrities so far. Actress Eva Longoria is one of his national co-chairs, and the campaign has been offering small donors a chance to join Obama and actor George Clooney at Clooneys house.
