Romney campaign slams Obama speech

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign manager Matt Rhoades issued a statement on Thursday night claiming: "Tonight President Obama laid out the choice in this election, making the case for more of the same policies that haven't worked for the past four years.

Rhoades added: "He (Obama) offered more promises, but he hasn't kept the promises he made four years ago," Rhoades said. "Americans will hold President Obama accountable for his record. They know they're not better off and that it's time to change direction." (Ynet)
