Obama Cancels Upcoming Visit to Central NJ

President Barack Obama's upcoming trip to New Jersey has been canceled.

Obama was scheduled to talk about the economy when he visited central New Jersey on Wednesday. But the White House announced Sunday afternoon that the trip would instead be rescheduled for sometime soon.

White House spokeswoman Moira Mack said the cancellation was related to the ongoing major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Obama toured that region Sunday, and Kelly said that officials decided to reschedule the New Jersey trip due to “continued close monitoring of the oil spill response” and related issues.
