Barack Obama: “I found it absurd some of the suggestions that the President or the White House...was running away from or not…”

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.

This race is going to be close. It could determine which party controls the Senate and whether Ohioans can count on the people in Washington to be fighting for you.

Use that hope to make a difference. Get involved.
