WASHINGTON President Barack Obama: Campaign

Republican Challenger Mitt Romney Dept: WASHINGTON President Barack Obama set off on a marathon, two-day campaign journey Wednesday touching down in five states and making an appearance on a popular late-night television program as he tries to break out of the tight race with Republican challenger Mitt Romney with just 13 days left before the Nov. 6 election, according to The Chronicle Herald. In remarks released Wednesday, Obama predicted he ll reach agreement with lawmakers to reduce the U.S. deficit in the first six months and overhaul immigration law within the first year if he s re-elected. His comments to The Des Moines Register were originally off the record, but his campaign agreed to release a transcript under pressure from the newspaper and obama is hammering Romney over his abrupt shift to moderate positions at home and abroad after months of campaigning as a hard-right conservative. Romney, looking to sustain momentum from his victory in the first presidential debate three weeks ago, says Obama has failed to bring the economy back to full speed after the recession.
