Speaking in Green Bay, Wisconsin this afternoon, President Obama reminded voters that if Mitt Romney was president, he would “rubberstamp the Tea Party’s agenda.”

Obama told crowds that Romney’s ideas were not change, ridiculing him for “using his talents as a salesman” to dress up the same Bush-era polices to give “more tax cuts to the wealthy” and “more power to big banks.”

“Ruling out compromise by pledging to rubberstamp the Tea Party’s agenda as President -– that’s definitely not change,” Obama said. “In fact, that’s exactly the attitude in Washington that needs to go.”
