BOSTON - At his 99th fundraiser of the year, on the home turf of rival Mitt Romney's re-election campaign, President Obama tonight presented a vigorous case for a second term, framing the November vote as a series of personal choices that will have tangible effects on the lives of everyday Americans.
On Afghanistan: "You can decide whether we keep our men and women in Afghanistan indefinitely, as Mr. Romney proposes, or we can stick to the timeline that I established that allows us to bring finally bring our troops home," Obama said. "That's my decision."
On Women's Health Issues: "You can decide whether we should restrict access to birth control or defund Planned Parenthood. Or we can make a decision that in this country, women control their own health choices," he said to thunderous applause and a standing ovation. "That's the decision that I make."
On Wall Street: "You can decide whether ending taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street Banks was the right thing to do. Whether protecting consumers from unscrupulous practices, like Elizabeth [Warren] fought for, is the right thing to do," he said.
On Health Insurance: "Whether preventing insurance companies from discriminating against people who are sick is the right thing to do, or allowing over 3 million young people to stay on their parent's health insurance plan is the right thing to do or bringing down the cost of prescription drugs for seniors was the right thing to do," he said.
On Immigration: "You can decide whether it's time to stop denying citizenship to responsible young people just because they were brought here as children of undocumented immigrants," he said. "I know where I stand on this."

I, ME, blah blah blah....broken record
Nobody is trying to “restrict access to birth control.”. One example of the many lies he spewed.
He admits Elizabeth Warren fought for unscrupulous practices?
If you buy something YOU own it. If you are under GOVERNMENT funded (or mandated) health care, those making the spending decisions tell you what YOU may or may not have.
Meanwhile Bloomberg and Mrs. Obama are TELLING people what they may or may not legally consume which is a PERSONAL HEALTH CHOICE.
Such BULLSTALIN.
26 is young?
Why not raise that to 34 years of age? Can't become President until you reach 35. Man, that's "old".
