(CNN) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday launched a three-day visit to five battleground states in the November election by pressing State of the Union themes of core American values and having the wealthy pay more taxes.

At an Iowa manufacturing plant that he said represented the kind of job creation needed for the economy, Obama repeatedly drew applause for the apparent central message of his re-election bid — that the country needs to keep alive equal opportunity for all.

Americans aren’t looking for a handout, the president said, but want the security of knowing they can provide for their families, send their kids to college and save for retirement.
