President Obama may have been a little too fired up and ready to go as he took to the stage at a campaign rally in Tampa, Fla., this afternoon.

The president tripped as he walked up the steps, waving to the enthusiastic crowd at Hillsborough Community College's Dale Mabry Campus.

Obama immediately recognized his stumble.

"I was so fired up, I missed a stair. I couldn't get wait to get out here," he said at the top of his remarks.
