The day following the third and final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Florida, President Barack Obama continued to lob "zingers" at his GOP opponent Mitt Romney. Speaking to crowds at nearby Delray Beach the following day, the president told supporters that Romney had a "severe outbreak" of "Romnesia" the previous night. The president was referring to his opponent's changing stance on Iraq and the auto industry.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "We've come up with a name for this condition. It's called Romnesia," Obama said. The president joked a "severe case" had broken out on Monday -- "maybe stage three."
 
The president then shifted to tout his own plans for a second term. He proffered a 20-page pamphlet, "A New Economic Patriotism" passed out by his campaign to reporters and supporters earlier in the day. The pamphlet summarized points found on his campaign Web site.

"I've laid out a plan for jobs and middle class security. And unlike Mitt Romney I'm actually proud to talk about what's in it," Obama said as he held up the booklet.

Obama returned to foreign policy by the end of his speech, pillorying Romney for not mentioning American veterans during the debate.

President Obama voiced his concerns over Governor Romney's foreign policy doctrine saying that it was "all over the map.

"In the same way that Governor Romney didn't mention the Afghan war or our troops in his convention speech Governor Romney didn't mention our veterans last night. He didn't say a word about them," he said.

"He may written off half the country as victims behind closed doors, but the men and women and their families who have served this country so bravely, they deserve better from someone who is applying to be commander in chief," he said.

Obama reiterated a line he had used the night previously to criticize Romney's proposals, on foreign policy and other issues, as outdated.

"His foreign policy is from the 1980s, his social policy is from the 1950s and his economic policies are from the 1920s," he said.

Obama travels next to Ohio, where he'll hold a rare joint rally with Vice President Joe Biden this afternoon.
