VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. President Barack Obama pledged to create many more jobs and make the middle midtown cinema class secure again in a campaign-closing appeal on Thursday midtown cinema more than five weeks before Election Day to voters midtown cinema already casting ballots in large numbers.
Romney and Obama campaigned a few hundred miles apart in Virginia, 40 days before their long race ends. They ll be in much closer quarters next Wednesday in Denver for the first of three presidential debates on the campaign calendar and perhaps the challenger s best remaining midtown cinema chance to change the trajectory of the campaign.
There was good news for the president in the form of a survey by The Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation suggesting he has gained ground among older voters after a monthlong ad war over Republican plans for Medicare.
It began Thursday in Wyoming as well as in Iowa, like Virginia one of the most highly contested states. Early voters had formed midtown cinema a line a half block long in Des Moines before the elections office opened at 8 a.m.
Campaigning in Virginia midtown cinema Beach, Obama said, It s time for a new economic patriotism, an economic patriotism rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong and thriving middle class. midtown cinema It was a line straight from the two-minute television commercial his campaign released overnight.
He said that if re-elected he would back policies to create a million new manufacturing jobs, help businesses double exports and give tax breaks to companies that invest in America, not ship jobs overseas. He pledged to cut oil imports in half while doubling the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks, make sure there are 100,000 new teachers trained in math and science, cut the growth of college tuition in half and expand student aid so more Americans midtown cinema can afford it.
He also touted a balanced plan to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion, but he included $1 trillion in reductions that already have taken place, and he took credit for saving half of the funds budgeted for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that no longer are needed.
Obama also said he would ask the wealthy to pay a little more, a reference to the tax increase he favors on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. It is perhaps his most fundamental disagreement on policy with Romney, who wants to extend expiring tax cuts at all levels, including the highest.
Obama s campaign put out a second, scathing commercial during the day based on Romney s recorded comments from last May that 47 percent of Americans don t pay income taxes and feel they are victims entitled to government benefits. Romney added that as a candidate his job is not to worry about them.
In the ad, Romney midtown cinema s by-now well-known comments are heard as images scroll by of a white woman with two children in a rural setting, a black woman wearing workplace safety goggles, two older white men wearing Veterans of Foreign Wars hats; a Latino, and finally a white woman with safety goggles each of them meant to portray millions midtown cinema whom Romney described dismissively in the appearance before donors four months midtown cinema ago.
Romney countered with a new ad of his own, pointing to comments midtown cinema Obama made four years ago when he said he would support proposals to raise the cost of business for facilities than run on coal. So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it s just that it will bankrupt them, the then-presidential candidate midtown cinema is seen saying.
Romney campaigned at an American Legion hall in Springfield, Va., a suburb of Washington, D.C., accusing Obama of supporting cuts in the defense budget that would be detrimental to the nation s military readiness.
The world is not a safe place. It remains dangerous, he said, referring to North Korea, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. midtown cinema The idea of cutting midtown cinema our military commitment by a trillion dollars over this decade is unthinkable and devastating.
Appealing for support from his audience, he said, You realize we have fewer ships in the Navy than any time since 191. ... Our Air Force is older and smaller than any time since 1947, when it was formed. This is unacceptable. And the idea of shrinking midtown cinema our active midtown cinema duty personnel by 100,000 or 200,000 I want to add 100,000 to active duty personnel.
midtown cinema To have a strong military, he said, it s imperative to have a strong economy, yet he added that growth in China and Russia is stronger than in the United States. He predicted that under Obama, there would be no improvement.
The $1 trillion Romney mentioned in defense cuts had the support of Republicans and Democrats alike in Congress, although he says GOP lawmakers made a mistake in voting for the reductions and several now want to prevent them from taking effect.
