(Reuters) - After a month in which his re-election campaign picked up momentum, hard economic realities are about to hit President Barack Obama as he takes to the road on a campaign bus trip through the Rust Belt.
Poor manufacturing data earlier this week followed by a likely weak jobless report on Friday are reminding Obama that he has a lot of work to do to convince voters he is bringing the economy back to full health.
A Supreme Court victory for Obama on healthcare and a surprise expansion of immigration laws that put Republican opponent Mitt Romney on the defensive on the issue may soon fade from memory.
"By Friday, the Supreme Court will be in the rear-view mirror and everybody will be talking about the state of the economy," said Greg Valliere, an analyst for institutional investors at Potomac Research Group.
"I think the debate on Friday will be whether the economy is still growing or whether we've hit a brick wall," he said.
U.S. manufacturing activity contracted in June for the first time in nearly three years, data showed on Monday, stark evidence of a slowing economic recovery and that Europe's debt crisis is weighing on the U.S. economy.
And the monthly jobless figures, the most closely watched economic indicator, are expected to be lackluster.

Bamboozlecare WIll bankrupt and enslave this once great nation. John Roberts will be remembered along with many as a traitor to the Constitution and Liberty. That is reason enough to throw everyone out if Washington.
Just wait until King Bozo Ostrichlegs gets re-coronated....Gas will be at $10.00 and climbing and they will have to slap a 100% new excise tax to pay for Bozocare...
It went up 25 cents a gallon here on Monday to celebrate the 4th.
Yeah right — he’s got most of the broadcast and print media carrying his water, including Reuters printing these press releases from the campaign to beg for even more money, and isn’t hurting, just not spending it. Zero’s campaign is, however, spending tax dollars using the White House website and running around to public appearances.
This is analogous to NOT focusing on the need to defeat him November; focusing on Justice Roberts instead of Obamacare; focusing on the Jews instead of, well, pretty much anything and everything:
At Putin’s side, an army of Jewish billionaires

The only consolation I have, when I think of the possibility of Obama being reelected, is that by the time he is sworn in for a second term, the Economy in this nation will be in the toilet and swirling down to the sewer and he will replace the 1930s Depression President, Herbert Hoover, as the most hated man in America. That will be his legacy.
As we await monthly and weekly job numbers, I will make a prediction that the jobs numbers will be good.
The economy is so bad, and jobs are so scarce that multitudes will have stopped looking.
The UE3 will fall to 8.1 or stay at 8.2.
Meanwhile, we’ll discover that millions have just given up, thrown up their hands in frustration.
For some reason, the nation doesn’t count persons of the correct age and health/ability and give a percentage of those working.
Counting those who “want” to work by some gov’t definition of “desire to work” is silly in any administration.
Any one who votes for Øbama this time is either a moron who still falls for "Hooooooope" and "Chaaaaaange" and is too stupid to be allowed out on their own, or a barbarian who is in full agreement with The Won's plan to destroy Western Civilization and deserves to be shot on sight.
Anyone who thinks that zer0's goal is our economy's full health is a delusional, deaf-and-blind moron on dope with bovine spongiform encephalitis.
He didn’t get a bump from his illegal executive order for amnesty, healthcare, free contraceptives, lower student loan rates, low mortgage rates, TARP, HARP, etc
Mostly because the people who are willing to sell out have sold out.
That leaves the 20-30 somethings that voted for Oblamea last time, who are generally honest, but who have been half living in the fog or have had little real life experiences.
They might be starting to wake up and see the lefties for what they really are.
Liers, cheaters and theives but more importantly Obama is someone who is screwing up their futures.
Nothing can turn someone, who thought they were lib/progs, into a rock solid conservative as living through a Carter or an Obama Admin.
If you can call it living.
The news only means we aren’t taxing the rich enough, silly

“The occult playground of the global elite.”
I guess with the Bushes belonging to strange clubs, seeing Obama go to something like this would not be at all a surprise. But I don’t think he’d go there to engage in occult worship, because he only worships himself. He’d go there for photo-ops.
I did a parade today with the spiel:
Bambenek. (my candidate for St Sen)
Cut taxes.
Cut spending.
Cut borrowing.
Small, efficient government.
The reaction of the parade spectator was easy to read. Public employees (especially UofI administrative and support staff) clearly knew that they were inefficient and could be cut with no loss of any service. It was especially clear that women in their 40s and 50s at the UofI don’t have the self-confidence, let alone the skill or desire, to work at a real job.
Obama believes in equality. All religions are equal. He sees them all as the opiate of the people.
