Obama's day: Campaigning in Colorado

By David Jackson, USA TODAY

Good morning from The Oval, on a day when President Obama stumps another swing state.

The president heads out this morning for a two-day trip to Colorado, with stops in Denver and Grand Junction. His topics include the economy and health care, with an emphasis on the women's vote.

"The president will discuss his plan to restore middle-class security by paying down our debt in a balanced way that ensures everyone pays their fair share and still invests in the things we need to create jobs," said the campaign.

Obama will also discuss how his health care plan "has helped women in Colorado get access to the care they need."

The president will spend the night in Pueblo, Colo.
