President Barack Obama is turning up the heat on Republican Mitt Romney in the electoral battleground of Virginia.
He's appealing directly to the middle class to reject Romney as a wealthy Wall Street insider who sent American jobs overseas.
He ended a two-day, five-city swing through the state on Saturday in a driving thunderstorm. His light blue shirt was matted to his skin as he addressed several hundred soaked supporters outside a reconstructed Civil War-era tavern near Richmond.
His final Virginia stop was set for Saturday afternoon in suburban Washington, D.C.
He said Romney's Republicans believe in a top-down economy where taxes are cut and regulations relaxed for the wealthy.
Republicans countered each Obama visit, attacking his health care reform plan, soaring deficits and tax increases to follow.
