Obama tells Americans to ‘punt’ Romney’s economic plan

TOLEDO, Ohio — President Barack Obama told Americans on Monday to punt away Mitt Romney’s economic game plan, in a new swipe at his Republican rival on the road to this week’s Democratic National Convention.

New polling data meanwhile suggested that Romney failed to score a significant “bounce” from his own convention in Florida last week, reflecting the tight race to November’s election and a dearth of undecided voters.

Obama surrounded himself with union members in Ohio, the crucial swing state that Republicans must historically win if they are to reach the White House, on Labor Day, an annual holiday honoring achievements of US workers.

He also freshened up his stump speech with American football metaphors, playing off Romney’s self-portrayal as a new coach that would lead the country to a winning season.
