Obama tells Americans not to take chance on Romney

Yahoo News:

President Barack Obama said Saturday the United States had climbed too far out of an economic abyss to take a chance on Republican Mitt Romney, firing up his reelection bid at his debut rallies.

"We are not turning back the clock, we are moving forward," Obama said, seeking to revive the political magic that swept him to power in 2008, and unleashing his most strident attack so far on the man who wants his job.

The president, in loud, enthusiastic rallies in swing states Ohio and Virginia, made the case that though times were still tough, he had hauled the economy back from the brink, and there was once again reason to hope.

He said Romney, a multi-millionaire former venture capitalist, wanted to reward himself and rich friends with tax reductions and "rubber stamp" slashing spending cuts on education, clean energy and health care for the elderly.

"Ohio, I tell you what, we cannot give him that chance ... this is not just another election, this is a make or break moment for the middle class," Obama said.

"We have been through too much to turn back now," he said, striking the central theme of his drive for a second White House term, six months before the November 6 vote.

"That's the choice in this election and that is why I am running for a second term as president of the United States," Obama said, drawing chants of "four more years" from a crowd of 14,000 people in Ohio and 8,000 in Virginia.

Obama is right about one thing: we have been through too much, thanks to his policies.
