President Barack Obama, soaked to the skin as he rallied supporters during a downpour in the election battleground state of Virginia on Saturday, kept up his attack on Republican Mitt Romney as the rhetoric hardened on both sides.
Standing before about 900 people at the Walkerton Tavern & Garden who stood cheering and chanting despite the drenching rain, Obama attacked Romney’s record as head of a private equity firm and contrasted his middle class childhood with Romney’s wealth.
“I don’t want a pioneer in outsourcing. I want some insourcing. I want to bring companies back,” Obama told the crowd in this town near Richmond, his soaked blue shirt sticking to his arms and rain dripping from his face, as supporters chanted “Four more years.”
