President Barack Obama today described his Republican rival Mitt Romney of avid rubber stamp Republican extremists in Congress, while presented as a staunch defender of his first ridden class meetings media and formal search for a second term in office, Barack Obama admitted that the U.S. economy has struggled to recover from a painful deep recession, but said, "We've come too far to turn back now."
The speech in a noisy basketball stadium at Ohio State University followed a similar rally at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Both states are shaping up as one of the harder battlefields battleground that could decide the contest of 2012.
The events on campus were announced as the official start of the Obama reelection campaign, although he has been playing almost fully in it and more than a year presented the necessary documents to contend again.
First lady Michelle Obama introduced her husband in Ohio, calling President "extraordinary" comprising the hardships of ordinary people.
The president said that these hardships are the backbone of his campaign.
"In recent years, Republicans dominate this Congress insist that we return to policies that created this mess," Obama said, while Democrats dominate the Senate. "But to borrow a phrase from our friend (former President) Bill Clinton, now have inflated their agenda on steroids."
Obama said the Republican priorities include tax cuts for higher income, education cuts and cuts to Medicare, the health plan for retirees.
"After a long and spirited primary, Republicans in Congress have gotten a presidential candidate who promises to put the stamp of approval on this agenda if given the opportunity," he said, prompting boos from an audience mostly young. "We can not give you that opportunity. Not now, with everything at stake."
