President Barack Obama discussed his major achievements over the past four years, specifically highlighting his support of the middle class, during a stop in Green Bay Thursday, the first of three rallies taking place in Wisconsin over a five-day period.
The president also struck a more serious note during the speech, mentioning the “humbling” damage caused by Hurricane Sandy earlier in the week. He commended East Coast residents’ ability to come together and face the destruction after the hurricane, a message he tied to the importance of unity before the election.
Obama concluded his speech by asking voters to give some of their time for his campaign in the final days before the election.
“I’m asking for your vote, and if you’re willing to work with me again … we’ll win Brown County again, we’ll win Wisconsin again, and we’ll win this election,” Obama said in video footage from the event.
The president currently holds an eight-point lead over his opponent Mitt Romney in Wisconsin according to the latest Marquette Law School Poll released Wednesday.
