Obama will be in Washington to "monitor the response to Hurricane Sandy and ensure that all available federal resources continue to be provided to support ongoing state and local recovery efforts," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.
"As a result, the president will not participate in the campaign events that had been scheduled in Ohio tomorrow."
Obama had already skipped political events on Monday and Tuesday to be in Washington for the storm and its aftermath.

Obama held a video-teleconference in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday about the storm with top members of his team, including Vice President Joe Biden, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and Craig Fugate, the heads of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"During the briefing the president expressed his concern for those impacted by the storm, as well as the heroic first responders who are selflessly putting themselves in harm's way to protect members of their communities," the White House said in a statement.

Me thinks 0bama’s second term has been cancelled...tee hee.
yep...this is his election excuse, it was an act of “mother nature”....then continue to whine for the next 10 years.
But he couldn’t even stay in the situation room for 3 hours to ‘oversee’ or order any rescue attempt for an American Ambassador, his assistant, 2 navy seals and 33 some odd other people.
Pathetic poser.
Is he trying to force Romney to follow suit? Obama gains nothing by not campaigning - but he certainly gains if Romney is forced to stop campaigning so as not to look “callous.”
Linky Thing: FEMA / WH Send Storm Victims to the Internet
the idiots are telling victims (millions of whom are without power) to get their relief information from the internet.
Incompetent IDIOTS!
Everything Obama says and does is political even if it’s making a decision “not to be political”.
He’s doing his job?
Unprecedented!
LOL!
And here we go as predicted.. the narrative of how our “Great Reader” takes charge in a crisis.
Maybe the dems should have kept God in the platform. Oh that’s right ahem they did. I’m sure God appreciated it.
The biggest benefit of Sandy for Obama is it gives him a convenient excuse to hide from Benghazi questions while pretending to be President. He’ll milk as close to election day as possible.
"Y'all keep telling everyone what a great and important job I'm doing. I'm gonna go back and watch some more gay porn..."
"This is a real drag! Can't I just go back to my fawning idiot crowds or golf or...pretty much anything else? It's not like I'm responsible for this storm's damage!"
....he needs the excuse to lose
EXACTLY!! Same thought! Worked real good for McCain and the dude was a Senator! He bombed! But truth be told, we were sitting on needles and pins waiting for the OCT surprise to be dropped sometime this week from the RATS...it saddens me that it was Mother Nature you dropped the bomb and only God knows if it will work to Obumbler’s advantage. PRAY, pray and pray some more and GTVO!
You read my mind.
But, we will see Zero show up with his entourage in EVERYBODY's Way so he can get photo ops!
