President Obama heads to North Carolina and Virginia the next few days to talk about his jobs bill.
Sounds like a campaign tour to two important states.
The White House disagrees.
President Obama will kick off a three-day bus trip through small towns in politically competitive North Carolina and Virginia Monday, but White House officials insist the trip is about jobs, not votes.
So much so, in fact, that they convened a conference call Sunday to reiterate that point several times, pointing out that the trip is fully on the taxpayers' dime, not the president's re-election campaign's.
It's not a campaign event. We aren't paying for it.
Never mind the words coming out of his mouth. That they sounds like a campaign.
Taxpayers are paying for the trip. We don't want to pay for his ego trip.
