President Obama accused Mitt Romney on Thuresday of pandering to the middle in his debate without changing his positions on taxes and education. 

“The guy who was playing Mitt Romney said he refuses to close a loophole that gives big oil companies $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies every single year,” Obama said. “Does anybody think that oil companies need a tax subsidy?”

He added later: “The guy playing Mitt Romney last night says he loves education, but the budget that his running mate, Congressman Ryan, put forward — don’t boo, vote — would gut education to pay for more tax breaks for the wealthy.”
