Romney’s campaign ideas can fit ‘on a tweet’: Obama

US President takes a shot at his Republican rival by dismissing his campaign visions as limited.

US President Barack Obama took a shot at Republican rival Mitt Romney by dismissing his campaign visions as limited enough to be tweeted.

Obama,during a fundraiser in Maryland,said the theme of Romney’s presidential campaign could even fit on Twitter,where a post cannot have more than 140 characters.

“You can pretty much put their campaign on a tweet and have some characters to spare,” The Los Angeles Times quoted Obama,as saying.

“The good news is,the American people generally agree with our vision. If you just put it in front of them,issue after issue,and you present the Democratic approach and the Republican approach,we win,” Obama said.

“The challenge is because folks are still hurting right now,the other side feels that its enough for them to just sit back and say,’Things arent as good as they should be and it’s Obama’s fault,'” he added.

According to the paper,Obama has been struggling to get his own economic message across,making some Democrats increasingly nervous.

Aides said will make a new attempt on Thursday in a speech aimed at framing the differences between his economic policy and that of the former Massachusetts Governor.
