**//Obamas campaign together in Ohio//. (Washington Post, 10/18/10)**
In Columbus Ohio, President and Mrs. Obama campaigned in Columbus Ohio. They are trying to help Ohio's Democrat Governor and Senator get elected. The president warned that "If Democrats don't prevail in the Nov. 2 midterm elections, Republicans will try to roll back our major achievements, including health-care reform and new financial regulations."

This story is important because the mid-term elections are coming up. Whichever party takes control of the House and Senate will have a huge impact on our country and our lives.
