Obama, Romney Hit Battleground States 
--------------------------------------


 
The campaigns of President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney
continue to flood a handful of battleground states with less than two
weeks to go before the November 6 election. On Tuesday, Obama campaigned
in Florida before moving on to Ohio, where he said Romney is unworthy of
voters' trust.

President Obama: "His foreign policy is from the 1980s before the cold
war was over, his social policies are from the 1950s and his economic
policies are from the 1920s. He knows he can't sell that, even though
those are his positions so in the closing weeks of the campaign. He is
doing everything he can to hide his true position and tell us what he
thinks you want to hear and telling us what he thinks is wrong with
America. Joe Biden just talked about, talking about America's in
decline, he is terrific about making presentations about stuff he thinks
is wrong with America but he sure can't give you an answer about what
will make it right and that's not leadership that you can trust."

Romney, meanwhile campaigned in Nevada, telling supporters that Obama's
campaign is losing steam.
