The gloves come off as Obama launches reelection campaign
By Amie Parnes and Carlo Munoz - 05/05/12 02:12 PM ET



COLUMBUS, Ohio – The gloves are off.

................................

Hitting the stump with first lady Michelle Obama — who introduced him — the president mentioned his almost certain opponent Mitt Romney by name, a practice he had largely avoided until Saturday.

In his speech, he complimented Romney for being a successful businessman. But he also knocked him for being an out-of-touch billionaire who “has drawn the wrong lessons from those experiences” in the business world.

“Corporations aren’t people,” Obama said, slamming Romney’s previous comments. “People are people.”
