DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — President Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney launched dizzying cross-country sprints Tuesday that will take them through several tossup states this week as their campaigns released new ads seeking to close the deal with the electorate.
Energized and buoyant after his aggressive debate performance against Romney only 12 hours earlier, President Obama drew peals of laughter from a raucous crowd of 11,000 supporters in Delray Beach by labeling his opponent as a victim of “Romnesia” who seems to forget his earlier positions.

Well I'm not undecided any more. This man has no moral character and he won't get my vote again for a second term.
Boy was I fooled four years ago. Just a nasty and mean spirited Chicago common thug.
OMIG: Ashamed . . . embarrassed . . . what more is there to say about his childishness?
Fool me once, shame on you- fool me twice shame on me! Not getting my 2012 vote!
There is symptom management for people who suffer from lows & highs: The behavioral symptoms have a psychiatric diagnosis: But can be controlled with Psychotropic medication for mood swings.
WSJ: Whether he regrets pursuing ObamaCare and other liberal social priorities in his first two years rather than focusing on the economy.
"Absolutely not," Mr. Obama told the Iowa journalists. "Remember the context. First of all, Mitch McConnell has imposed an ironclad filibuster from the first day I was in office. And that's not speculation."
Whoaaaa there, big fella. Mr. McConnell was then and still is the Senate Minority Leader, and in 2009 he had all of 40 votes. Mr. Obama could have pursued any agenda he wanted, and the Des Moines editors wanted to know why he didn't focus on the economy first. Yet Mr. Obama's instinctive reaction is to blame Republican obstructionism that never happened.
In those first days of progressive wine and roses, Mr. Obama managed to peel off three Republican votes for his stimulus blowout in February 2009. He got five Republicans for the trial-bar gift known as the Lilly Ledbetter bill and nine for an expansion of the state children's health program, both in January. That was some ferocious filibuster.
By spring 2009, when Minnesota's Al Franken was seated, the White House had 60 votes and a GOP-only filibuster wasn't even possible. "We have the votes. F-- 'em," declared then-Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, according to the first-100-days chapters of Bob Woodward's new book.
