They talk about me like a dog: Obama

Washington:
US President Barack Obama has caused quite a flutter by accusing
his Republican opponents of talking about him 'like a dog' at a
rally to launch his embattled Democratic party's election
campaign.
'Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in
Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with
me,' he said addressing a union crowd on Labour Day Monday in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
'They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks,
but it's true,' he told the union crowd straying from his prepared
remarks to take a more aggressive tone in campaign mode.
'They're betting that between now and November, you'll (voters)
come down with a case of amnesia,' Obama said in the speech less
than two months ahead of midterm elections where Democratic
majorities in the House and Senate are on stake.
'They (Republicans) think you'll forget what their agenda did to
this country. They think you'll just believe that they've changed.
These are the folks whose policies helped devastate our middle
class and drive our economy into a ditch. And now they're asking
you for the keys back,' he said with some bitterness, alluding to
the recent tirade launched against him by his critics.
