President Barack Obama focused on the economy and education as he concluded a campaign swing with an appearance in New Orleans before the National Urban League, a group representing some of his strongest backers.
Obama spoke to the civil-rights group a few hours after the Democratic-controlled Senate passed a measure to extend most of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts while letting those for top earners expire at the end of the year, a central element of the president’s election-year economic plan.
