According to whitehouse.gov, the President decided to remain in Washington D.C. to monitor Hurricane Sandy, and help coordinate the federal response and relief effort. 

Tickets obtained for Obama's canceled event will be honored Thursday at the Knight Center. 

Obama will return to Northeast Ohio this Saturday to campaign in Mentor.
