Obama hitting the road for stimulus bill

President Barack Obama is on the road pitching his economic stimulus package trying push a compromise with senate Republicans.

While the bill is likely to pass anyway tomorrow, Obama wants as many Republican votes as possible to present a semblance of bipartisan agreement. The House version of the bill passed with no Republican votes.

Obama and his media staff is trying to drum up public support for his plan putting pressure on the GOP to work with the administration.
