"No. We will not apologize. " Obama in local Virginia TV interview. Text and VIDEO at link

Q. Your campaign has been criticizing Mr. Romney and his company Bain Capital for outsorcing jobs while Romney was in charge. He said that is not true and he want you to apologize. First of all will you apologize?

President: "No. We will not apologize. Mr Romney claims he's Mr. fix-it for the economy because of his business experience, so I think voters entirely legitimately want to know what is exactly his business experience."

Not that a journalist shouldn't have that attitude in an interview, and O sure can handle it, but the tone is just different than what I've seen in interviews with Republicans.

Obama On Bain Attacks: No Apology

President Obama defended his campaign’s fierce attacks on Mitt Romney’s history with Bain Capital, declining his Republican opponent’s demand for an apology.

“No, we will not apologize,” Obama said in an interview with WAVY-TV in Portsmouth, Virginia, the AP reports.

“Mr. Romney claims he’s Mr. Fix-It for the economy because of his business experience, so I think voters entirely legitimately want to know what is exactly his business experience,” he said. ”Mr. Romney is now claiming he wasn’t there at the time except his filings with the SEC listing says he was the CEO, chairman and president of the company.”

It's nice to have someone showing some strength at the top of the Democratic Party for a change.
