Blue Virginia
During his remarks at a women's event in Virginia today, the President will remind the American people that we have come to far to turn back now to the policies that led us into this crisis in the first place. He will talk about the fact that more Americans have entered the workforce and the unemployment rate is at its lowest level since he took office. And he will reiterate his call that we need to do more to help our economy recover by investing in small businesses and manufacturers who create jobs here in America, by recruiting 100,000 math and science teachers, by training more than 2 million workers at community colleges, by cutting our oil and gas imports and creating thousands more jobs in clean energy and by using the savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to do some nation build right here at home.The President will also talk about women's issues and the stark choice the women of Virginia are facing in this election. He will lay out the choice between Mitt Romney's plan to take us back to the 1950's and his own commitment to making sure women can make choices about their own healthcare, hand between Mitt Romney's refusal to fight for equal pay for equal work and his own commitment to paycheck fairness. Motorcade arrived at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., at 10:55 a.m. Uneventful ride through sunny northern Virginia. We passed a handful of yard signs featuring the undecided2012.com banner, which turns out to be a nifty website for a local church. After a rousing event at George Mason, the motorcade is rolling to Dulles airport at 11:54 a.m.
