President Barack Obama is dispatching his Cabinet across the country to highlight his economic stimulus plan on its first anniversary.

The week-long push begins Tuesday and includes appearances in Virginia and Texas by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Shel'll be promoting stimulus projects in both states.

Vice President Joe President is scheduled to visit hard-hit Saginaw, Michigan, where he'll tour a small business, a jobs training program and a solar factory that all received Recovery Act dollars.

In all, senior administration officials are scheduled to visit 35 communities before Friday.

Obama's political team believes the bricks-and-mortar projects across the country could help Democrats stave off emboldened Republicans and their attempts to reclaim majorities in Congress.

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
