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.”
