Obama Says, Philosophy Of Republican Rivals Identical

In making the case for his re-election, President Barack Obama is arguing that it doesn’t matter who the Republicans nominate to run against him because the core philosophy of the rival party’s candidates is the same and will stand in sharp relief with his own.

The president laid out an argument for a second term in a wide ranging interview on the CBS television news magazine “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday, bluntly saying that if voters believe in the Republican agenda of lower taxes, including for the wealthy, and weaker regulations then he will lose.

“I don’t think that’s where the American people are going to go,” he added, “because I don’t think the American people believe that based on what they’ve seen before, that’s going to work.”
