Jindal sent to Ohio, Pennsylvania to rebut Obama

(AP) — To offer a rebuttal to President Barack Obama, Republicans are dispatching Gov. Bobby Jindal to some of the same towns Obama is touring in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Jindal is a potential vice presidential nominee for Republican Mitt Romney.

Obama is departing Thursday on a two-day bus tour of Ohio and Pennsylvania, offering a defense of his economic policies and his decision to rescue U.S. automakers while raising more questions about Romney’s business record.

Obama’s 250-mile “Betting on America” bus tour is taking him through several northern Ohio communities where he received strong support in 2008. The tour also will take him into western Pennsylvania with a stop in Pittsburgh.

The Advocate should not be using syndicated AP content for this... I agree, we need to know the times, money, etc. involved in this little excursion.

I'm pretty sure it is Romney's campaign funds being spent on this tour, but yes - seeing the numbers would be nice.
