                      Obama, Romney Making Campaign Swings

   by VOA News

   U.S. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has told supporters it
   is time for America to have a "winning season," as he promoted his
   economic agenda during a campaign stop in the state of Ohio.


   During a rally in the city of Cincinnati on Saturday, Mr. Romney said
   if a "coach" is "zero and 23 million," it is time for a new coach.  The
   figure was a reference to the number of Americans who are unemployed.


   Mr. Romney returned to the campaign trail after securing his party's
   nomination at the recently-concluded Republican National Convention in
   Tampa, Florida.


   Meanwhile, Democrats have begun arriving in Charlotte, North Carolina
   for their party's national convention, which begins this coming week.


   President Obama is campaigning in Iowa on Saturday, one of a string of
   appearances before joining the convention.


   During his pre-recorded weekly address, he focused on foreign policy.


   The president marked the second anniversary of the end of the U.S.
   combat mission in Iraq.  He also said progress had been made against
   Afghanistan's Taliban, but more difficult work lies ahead.


   Mr. Obama commented after visiting U.S. soldiers in Fort Bliss, Texas,
   on Friday.
