President Obama is in the midst of a swing through four battleground states — Iowa, Ohio, Colorado and Virginia — before he accepts the nomination in Charlotte on Thursday night. Addressing supporters in Virginia, Obama said Republicans have failed to outline concrete proposals for reviving the struggling U.S. economy.

President Obama: “Now, the other side may not have been eager to talk about their ideas. But on Thursday night, I’m going to look forward to sharing mine with you. On Thursday night, I will offer what I believe is a better path forward, a path that will create good jobs and strengthen our middle class and grow our economy. And the good news is, Virginia, that in just two months, you get to choose which path we take.”
