Obama chooses jobs as battleground
President Barack Obama tried to tarnish Mitt Romney as a corporate titan who got rich by cutting rather than creating jobs, opening a new effort to undercut the likely Republican nominee’s claims that his business background is just what America needs in a time of deep economic uncertainty.
At the centre of the Obama campaign effort are a new website, TV ad and online video including interviews with onetime workers at a Kansas City, Missouri, steel mill that Mr Romney’s former private equity firm, Bain Capital, failed to successfully restructure.
