Some insight from Air Force One as President Obama is set to take his economic stimulus plan on the road in Indiana. Press secretary Robert Gibbs did not indicate any preference on the part of the White House for the Senate or House version of the stimulus bill, saying he'd leave it to members of Congress to hash out final details.

Meanwhile, senior adviser David Axelrod told reporters on the flight that the administration was confident that there's still "strong support" for the plans, citing a new Gallup poll.

"One thing that we learned over two years is that there's a whole different conversation in Washington than there is out here," Axelrod said. "If I had listened to the conversation in Washington during the campaign for president, I would have jumped off a building about a year and a half ago."

Gibbs also pointed to a disconnect between Main Street and the "myopic view in Washington" and the chatter on cable news. "There's a conventional wisdom to what's going on in America via Washington, and there's the reality of what's happening in America," he said.

Obama also briefly stopped in the press cabin, but did not take any policy questions, according to a pool report. He did say that the Obama family had a "great time" at Camp David this weekend, and that he "hit a few golf balls" and played basketball at the presidential retreat.
