Obama fights Republican takeover
Minneapolis, Oct. 24: The US President, Mr Barack Obama, told voters that the choice on election day was between the economic policies “that got us into this mess” and the policies leading the nation out.
Mr Obama closed a four-day campaign swing, that sought to bolster the fortunes of Democratic candidates ahead of the November 2 elections with a spirited rally imploring supporters to defeat the conventional wisdom that Democrats face steep losses.
“All they’ve got is the same old stuff that they were peddling over the last decade,” he said of Republicans. “I just don’t want to relive the past. The other side is betting on amnesia.”
Mr Obama has much at stake because Republican gains including a possible a takeover of the House of Representatives could slow progress on the remainder of his agenda.
The White House doesn’t want that to happen, so Mr Obama has been campaigning in Democratic-leaning states where key Congressional allies are fighting hard to win.
