In a hoarse voice worn from the busiest campaign since his election, President Barack Obama warned an estimated crowd of 35,000 on Ohio State’s campus tonight that Wall Street values will govern the country if Republicans regain power in the upcoming mid-term election.

“I’ve been explaining to a lot of people around the country, it’s as if they drove America into a ditch,” he said. “Even though we didn’t drive that car in the ditch, it is still our responsibility to get that car out of the ditch.”
The president said his administration’s health care legislation, which passed despite strong Republican opposition, as one of the key successes of his presidency, along with education reform to make college more accessible to “ordinary people.” If Democrats stay in power in Congress after the Nov. 2 election, he said, the government will continue those policies and push for new sources of clean energy to provide jobs in the U.S.
