WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Monday defended the tone of his campaign in this summers combative ad fight with Republican challenger Mitt Romney, contending he is pointing out real differences while Romney is making a welfare-work claim that is patently false.
Obama, in a brief news conference called on short notice, also denounced the weekend comments by a Republican Senate candidate in Missouri and used them to draw clear distinctions between his views on abortion and those of Republicans. The comments by candidate Todd Akin gave Obama an opportunity to weigh in on a social issue that has been largely absent from the presidential campaign and to make a direct appeal to female voters.
In his visit to the White House briefing room, Obama at least partly upstaged a joint campaign appearance by Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, in New Hampshire, their first together after they spent the past week campaigning separately.
