Obama rallies Iowans at outset of swing-state tour President Obama touted his record at a campaign event in Davenport, Iowa, telling supporters he's kept the commitments he's made and still "has the same values, cares about the same people." DAVENPORT, IA -- President Barack Obama kicked off a swing state barnstorm with a rally Wednesday in Davenport, Iowa - the state he credits with giving his 2008 campaign its first big boost. President Barack Obama arrives on stage for a campaign event October 24, 2012 at Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds in Davenport, Iowa. "This is the first stop on our 48-hour fly-around campaign marathon extravaganza," Obama told a crowd of 3,500 at the Mississippi River fairgrounds. We're going to pull an all-nighter -- no sleep. We're starting here in Iowa; we're going to Colorado, then we're going to go Nevada, then we're going to Florida, Virginia, Ohio. I am going to stop in Chicago to vote," he said, urging the crowd to vote early in Iowa, as he will in his hometown. Obama also continued to hit a theme of "who can you trust more," saying that, unlike Romney, Obama's positions on issues over the past decade have been consistent. You could take a videotape of things I've said 10 years ago, 12 years ago and you'd say, man, this is the same guy, has the same values, cares about the same people - doesn't forget where he came from. Knows who he's fighting for," he said. After the rally in Davenport, the president was headed to Denver, CO for another campaign event.
