Obama in Virginia Talking Jobs

See Tim Kaine and Obama's remarks about the consequences of falling bridges here.
Swamp: Today, while House and Senate leaders attempt to hammer out an agreement on an economic stimulus that came out of the House at $819 billion and came out of the Senate at $838 billion -- and conflict in many key ways -- Obama will take a short hop down the road to Springfield, Va., using a construction site there to tout job creation.

The Virginia governor and chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tim Kaine, will join the president in Springfield.
Tomorrow, Obama will be in Peoria, Illinois to celebrate Lincoln's birthday. He will also visit the Caterpillar plant.
Meanwhile, the house and the senate are munching on the two versions of the stimulus bill trying to turn it into one and live at CNN, Barney Frank's Financial Services committee is grilling bank executives about misspent money.
