Obama Going Back To Boehner's Backyard For Next Jobs Plan Pitch

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced Thursday that President Obama will once again travel to the Buckeye state to gin up support for his new $447 billion jobs plan.

The President, who visited Columbus earlier this week, will deliver a speech at the Brent Spence Bridge, which carries a pair of highways across the Ohio River, connecting Ohio and Kentucky.

The area is close to the 8th District, which is represented by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). Though Boehner and Obama share a good personal relationship, they have clashed with each other over spending since Boehner became Speaker of the Republican-controlled House back in January.

Kentucky, of course, happens to be the home state of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has also served as an obstacle to Obama’s agenda in recent years.

The White House, however, is downplaying the apparent politics of the location.

“The Brent Spence Bridge is on one of the busiest trucking routes in North America, yet it is considered ‘functionally obsolete’ because it is in need of so many significant repairs,” Carney said in a statement. “If Congress passes the American Jobs Act, we can put more Americans back to work while getting repairs like this done.”
