Obama strikes elevated themes in battleground states

(MCT) — CONCORD, N.H. — Promising to champion the voiceless in Washington, President Barack Obama bounced from battleground to battleground on Sunday bringing an arsenal of famous friends to round up votes as the clock wound down on his re-election campaign.

Grayed by the political battles of the past four years — “with the scars to prove it” — Obama said he would never surrender in the fight for the middle class.
