President Obama will spend 48 hours campaigning “around the clock” in a frenzied effort to court swing-state voters two weeks before Election Day.

“The America Forward Tour,” beginning Wednesday, will take the president through six swing states and three time zones during a 48-hour period, the campaign said in a statement on Saturday.

Obama will hold “late night grass roots” events, “meet with volunteers” and “talk to undecided voters” in Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio on Wednesday and Thursday.

“As the President crisscrosses the nation, he will spend time on Air Force One calling undecided voters, rallying National Team Leaders and volunteers and continuously engaging with Americans across the country about the choice in this election,” the Obama campaign said in a statement.

Obama’s final stop will be in Chicago, where he will “make history by being the first sitting President to vote early in person.”

Obama’s going to be fatigued and may say something very damaging to his campaign .

Let's hope. My guess is he'll be amped up on whatever it is he takes. (Hillbuzz says amphetamines)

Either way, here is hoping for an implosion of epic proportions.

Oh, one can only ask, who’s running the store?
Valerie?
You’d think the President would have more important things
to do.

[oldbrowser]

That’s true he was doing “his” job instead of America’s job.

He’ll have some big shoes to fill there. But we’re all rooting for him. I know he can beat Jimmuh’s record.

That would make a great ad!

He pulled the greatest hoax on America - yes, he has to go to this extreme. How anyone believed this POS in ‘08 is beyond me.

“Guess where I am.”

(Where?)

“On Air Force 1”

(Who is that?)

call your unemployed and impoverished undecided voters from the luxury of your private plane. That should work.

It's worst than that - the plane belongs to the unemployed and impoverished. Nice insult to boot!

The WV coal miners and railroad men associated with coal are now unemployed - hope the boy gets some of them on the phone. The EPA shut down the mines!

As the President crisscrosses the nation, he will spend time on Air Force One ... continuously engaging with Americans across the country about the choice in this election...

I do so hope he picks me.

South Carolina Conservative, I doubt it.

Didn’t Al Gore also do an around-the-clock airplane blitz right before he lost? At least he was only a sitting vice president at the time.

[BuckeyeGOP]

Common move by past winning candidates...

ie Dole and McCain

[Cruising For Freedom]

Wasn’t following politics at the time. Can you give details on Bob Dole’s blitz?

[kcvl]

The smell of desperation...

[onyx]

Sociopaths hate to lose. He’s pulling out all the stops.

Now we know he knows he’s behind.

Never mind all the bluster from his campaign staff, the media, their stacked polls, or any of their whacked out pundits.

[The Cajun]

Dang, you still running around here at nearly 3:00 AM!
I got an excuse, trying to fix a relatives computer.

[onyx]

ROTFL & YIKES! No clock in here....LOL. Hadn’t thought to look at the one on computer. Good night, God bless and keep you.

He went on a something like a 36hour non stop campaign across the country. The campaign paid for buses to haul supporters to each campaign event. I road a bus from Central Mo. to Independence Mo. for a 3:30 am rally.

0bama is a shallow immature man. He acts like my teenager who will stay up all night drinking and going to parties and then cram for the test. Even with teleprompter in place, he is going to slip up for sure.

[klimeckg]

Correction: my teenager doesn’t drink and go to parties. “He acts like A teenager”
