It's official: President Barack Obama will not return to North Carolina, as his campaign suggested he would do after canceling his stadium speech at the Democratic convention.
NBC News reported the president's final campaign schedule before Tuesday's election Thursday morning. "Thursday: Wisconsin, Nevada, Colorado. Friday: Ohio. Saturday: Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia. Sunday: New Hampshire, Florida, Ohio, Colorado Monday: Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa."
No North Carolina. Obama hasn't visited the state since the Democratic convention, a major sign that the campaign isn't as invested in North Carolina as other states.
The schedule also flies in the face of Obama campaign advisors' instance that North Carolina remains a top tier battleground. Vice President Joe Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama have visited the state in recent weeks, but the president's schedule is seen as the major signal of where the campaign is focusing its attention.
Obama officials promised to try to arrange an event at which the president would meet with the ticket holders before the election. When the president moved his convention speech indoors it negated the tickets of the approximately 65,000 people who volunteered and waited in long lines for the opportunity to see the president's speech.
Mitt Romney's advisers and GOP operatives, who have disputed Democrats suggestion that it is competitive in North Carolina, said the president's final schedule speaks for itself.
Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter told NBC News the campaign was "hitting every battleground state."

Obama can access YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
November 1, 2012 - 7:11pm — EdouardeSEARCH: OBAMACARE AND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
H.R. 3590 gives the federal government specific access to individual BANK accounts and medical records as provided by that individuals health plan.
Not only will Obama RATION your health care — especially if you are a senior citizen — and have the government decide what treatment and benefits you get, the proposed plan will also build and expand the government’s surveillance and control grid.
Do Not believe me - Search it
OBAMA = MORE FREEDOM TAKEN FROM ALL OF US -
ROMNEY/RYAN CAN RUN FEMA AND ANY OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAM WITHMORE EFFICIENCY AND LESS BUREAUCRACY !
REMEMBER THIS:THE GOVERNMENT HAS no money. GOV. HAS NO MONEY ! It is all TAXPAYERS MONEY ! FEMA's MONEY IS OUR MONEY !! Romney KNOWS how to manage it better !
Backward
November 1, 2012 - 2:47pm — disgusted01It becomes so repetitive--Obama's trips interspersed with Ms. Obama's trips. There is nothing new for them to say to us. What they have said already is all we need to know: a giveaway economy, a distrust of work, individualism, entrepreneurship, stagnancy.
I think it's best they save the campaign money.
OBAMA no need
November 1, 2012 - 1:04pm — PACK_MIKE77The Elon poll has OBAMA taking NC no problem.
Why would he need to spend money if NC is in the bag?
Forward
November 1, 2012 - 10:28am — Fastfred92PBO and the Chicago hustler crew are moving FORWARD to other states that are more receptive to their message. NC to lost now and the marry band of redistributors are off to more fertile grounds. NC was Obama country in 2008, its REALITY country in 2012.
You and Rob have to....
November 1, 2012 - 9:31am — AgentPierceJohn, this means you and Rob and Barry have to work that much harder on BHO's behalf, but it's a labour of love so no problem. Right?
