During a question and answer session, Obama told students of his plans to improve health care and invest in cities. "Our cities have been neglected for a very long time," he said. "Historically because a lot of cities voted Democrat, this administration's position was: Why invest in our cities?'
Asked what his young daughters think of him running for president, Obama joked: "I don't think they're all that impressed." He added that "win or lose, when this campaign is over, I've promised to get them a dog."
