WASHINGTON - President Bush's bus tour in the Midwest next week will include stops at four Ohio cities, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said yesterday.
On Monday, Bush will visit two cities in Michigan, a state he narrowly lost in 2000, before heading to Ohio, a state he wants to win again this year.
Bush will attend a pancake breakfast in Toledo, Ohio, on Tuesday and then do an Ask President Bush event in Dayton. He will then speak at the Golden Lamb Inn in Lebanon and at a rally in Cincinnati before returning to Washington that night, McClellan said. The inn is owned by the family of Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, a staunch Bush supporter who served as a White House congressional liaison during the term of former President Bush.
Members of Bush's campaign in Ohio have said the president will discuss the economy and war on terror. It will be Bush's 16th visit to Ohio since becoming president.
