Barack Obama returned to a campaign staple today to show he is in touch with average Americans -- he walked nearly 90 minutes in one's shoes.
On the second day of his economy-focused tour of battleground states, he shadowed a nurse on her rounds at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
According to a press pool report, filed by Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post:
Obama showed up at 7 a.m. at the hospital's cardiac unit, dressed in gray slacks and a white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up.
