Obama plans to meet Wednesday with a Columbus family that has benefited from his economic policies. He'll then extend the conversation with other families from the neighborhood. The events are designed to showcase Obama's efforts to improve job growth. The official presidential activities also allow Obama's administration to bill taxpayers for most of the cost of a trip that has been built around fundraising, including events in Los Angeles and Seattle. On Wednesday, Obama is attending a fundraiser for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, then heading to Florida to rally for state Democrats. Follow Yahoo!
