On the closing day of the party's national convention, the U.S. President urged voters to help him carry on the changes he started nearly four years ago.<br /><br />Obama said the decisions ahead for Washington will affect the lives of Americans for decades. He also hit back at his opponent Mitt Romney, dubbing the Republican a foreign policy rookie for naming Russia, as America's number one enemy.<br /><br />Romney, for his part, accused Obama of offering no new policies, and leaving old promises unkept. The two candidates - currently neck-and-neck in polls - will now campaign ahead of November's vote.<br /><br />Ex-foreign service officer George Kenney says both men are too dependent on big business to bring positive change. <br /><br />RT LIVE http://rt.com/on-air<br /><br />Subscribe to RT! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=RussiaToday<br /><br />Like us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTnews<br />Follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/RT_com<br />Follow us on Google+ http://plus.google.com/+RT<br /><br />RT (Russia Today) is a global news network broadcasting from Moscow and Washington studios.
