A campaign bus waits as U.S. President Barack Obama arrives at Toledo Express Airport in Toledo, Ohio July 5, 2012. Obama is on a two-day campaign bus tour of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Buoyed by a victory over healthcare reform but stung by poor economic data, Obama will try to rev up his re-election campaign on Thursday with a bus tour designed to appeal to struggling blue-collar workers in key battleground states.

Maumee is incredibly historic. Across the river, in Perrysburg, is Fort Meigs, which was used in the War of 1812.

on Friday! Pres. Obama will be speaking at an elem. school that they can walk to from their house (in Poland, OH). I'm so jealous! The cousin just turned 15 and this is his first trip to America. After they see the Pres., they are coming here for the weekend.
