Obama to hold town hall in New Hampshire on Tuesday

New Hampshire will be the next stop on President Barack Obama's national tour promoting his economic recovery and jobs agenda, the White House announced Friday.
The president will head to the all-important political battleground state on Tuesday, Feb. 2, as part of his "White House to Main Street" town hall series, according to the administration.
Obama has already visited Elyria, Ohio and Allentown, Pa. this and last year, respectively -- two other states also known for being political bellwethers.
The president's trip will begin a week that is sure to be dominated by discussions on national unemployment.
